Beyond the second foreign language.
One class a week will not make students conversational in Chinese. Bring one-on-one lessons with native tutors (about 1% acceptance rate) to the space outside your classes. Grades, certifications, study abroad, job hunting — NetChai accompanies students through all four years.
