Flushing Immersion Weekend June 13-15, 2025

The Columbus School of Chinese is excited to announce our next Chinese Immersion Weekend in Flushing, New York, June 13-15, 2025!

This three-day program is an immersive Chinese language and culture experience for students who have completed Beginner I and above.

Flushing, located in Queens, New York, boasts one of the largest Chinese communities outside of China. The Flushing provides learners with authentic opportunities to practice their language and cultural skills, apply their knowledge outside of the classroom and become more comfortable with life in a Chinese environment.

CSC language and culture experts will guide students through real-life scenarios and cultural experiences that will ultimately leave learners with greater confidence in their language ability and deeper, practical understanding of Chinese culture and society.

Participants will interact in Chinese with native speakers in a variety of settings. For example:

  • Purchase items through bargaining;
  • Ask for directions;
  • Order food and interact with restaurant staff;
  • Experience a Chinese style banquet;
  • Prepare and present oral reports;
  • Participate in Chinese recreational activities, and more.

The instructional fee is $550. To register or for more information, please email info@columbusschoolofchinese.com as soon as possible. Spots are limited to 10 students.
