Where should I learn Chinese in China to prepare for trip?
My friend just finished a two months bike trip through China and I want to do the same this summer. His bikes got all the permits needed and I will just buy them off him. However he told me that communication in China can be quite difficult without Mandarin and as I will have some free time on my hands - changing jobs - anyways I want to do a month of Chinese language classes in China first. The bikes are currently in Shanghai, but I would be open to go anywhere really. Does anyone have suggestions for
a. where in China to learn Mandarin
b. any good schools that offer month long courses with accommodation?
This is a once in a lifetime trip for me and I want to make sure I learn something during that time, as it might be helpful for work as well later.
