I plan to move to Shanghai this summer due to my husband’s expat assignment. I would like to take Chinese language course at a university to learn Chinese and also build new relationships with students from around the world. Please advise me on selecting the university. Which university does an American expat or the families choose to go? Which is the recommended university with good Chinese curriculum and easy access from the nearby station? One of my agencies suggests Tongji University. Please share information about this school if any. Thank you so much in advance.

I lived and worked in China for some time. I would really suggest you get yourself a private tutor. Chinese is a very difficult language to learn. If you want to investigate this email me and I will send you some contacts. senseimartin007-AT-gmail-DOT-com Martin

I had a lot of trouble finding schools in Shanghai as well. I did some research before coming to Shanghai and was able to find a lot of information on schools by going on chalksmart.com.
