Sino Language & Beyond (SLB) has been dedicated in promoting language & cultural exchange for young people between China and the U.S. since 2003. We believe learning a language in the country in which it is spoken is absolutely a far more effective and rapid process than studying a few hours a week in your own country. It is also an opportunity to mix with local inhabitants, come to a far deeper and intimate knowledge of the people whose language you are studying and gain insights into their culture.
