Slide 3: Why Study in China with East-West Connection? UNIQUE PHILOSOPHY True education allows the student to continue learning on his / her own. By first focusing on communications you will be able to understand more of the Chinese culture and history because you'll be able to talk about them. We teach communication not other things. True education allows the student to continue learning on his / her own. By first focusing on communications you will be able to understand more of the Chinese culture and history because you'll be able to talk about them. Writing Chinese characters by hand is not necessary Most Chinese schools in China focus their teaching methods by forcing students to write Chinese characters over and over. This is incorrect because: - Simply by recognizing Chinese characters one is able to type on a computer - The expectation to write Chinese characters by hand in a professional environment is low - It is a cost/ benefit comparison in which the cost does not justify the end result www.east-westconnection.com

Slide 5: Why Study in China with East-West Connection? UNIQUE UNDERSTANDING Our Mandarin Chinese school has focus. We only teach Chinese language to English speakers . Other Chinese schools in China teach many other languages or have several programs. You won't find links to other languages or countries. Our founder was a self-learner of Chinese, after attending some schools in China and America he realized the shortcomings. Unlike other schools in China, management stays in China to oversea quality of instruction. As a Chinese learner himself, he has personally researched and experienced the methods that best apply to a native level English speaker who wishes to learn and study Chinese in China. UNIQUE FEATURES In addition to the many proprietary technological tools that are used to aid and augment the standard learning methods, we also employee what we call "Live-Life Learning™". Live-Life Learning takes you outside of the classroom for maximum practicality and efficiency in learning Chinese in Beijing. Unlike other Mandarin schools in Beijing, we also give you a personal Chinese tutor. www.east-westconnection.com
