Though the medium of instruction is English, the students will have to study the Chinese Language in order to communicate with the patients in the clinics from 5th semester onwards. Hence Chinese language class is kept right from first semester through fifth semester.

To graduate from the Programme you must be competent in a language other than English. Many of our students understand several languages when they enter the Programme and do not need to study another language - although an increasing number choose to study another language. If you need to develop your language skills you can join one of the language electives taught at London Business School. Subject to demand, we offer French, Spanish, German, Mandarin Chinese and Japanese.

Studying Chinese herbs along with Western herbs has many advantages. First of all, many of the Chinese herbs are the same herbs you’d use in Western herbalism such as mint, hawthorn, elecampane, dandelion, garlic, ginger, licorice, loquat, motherwort, mugwort, myrrh, raspberry, blackberry, rhubarb and safflower just as a few examples.

In China, both Mandarin and English are the languages of business. However, Mandarin is the official language of China and it is what most common people use for communication. Many students now study English with great passion, and it is common to have college students come up to you in public and wish to practice their English. Most hotels will have staff who speak some general English. It is a good idea and fun to learn some basic Chinese words to use on your journey.

This problem occurred with Wenlin 2.0 on some versions of MacOS (due to undocumented changes made by Apple). It was fixed starting with Wenlin 2.1. If you are still using 2.0, you can download the latest update 2.x free of charge from www.wenlin.com/update.htm. The most frequent cause is a dirty CD-ROM. A bit of dust or a fingerprint can make a file on the CD-ROM unreadable. You can clean the disc by wiping it gently with a soft dry cloth.

You don't need to meet with an advisor for permission to major in Chinese.

One thing that makes our "Visit China Learn Chinese" program special is that besides teaching the ins and outs of the Chinese language in our core classes in the morning, we have daily elective programs in the afternoon that will enhance your language learning by giving you exposure to Chinese culture and history, geography & people, philosophy & religion. We also arrange many fun and instructive activities for our participants to relax and develop social relationship among them.

Please understand that older versions of Windows do not support this feature. The Windows operating systems: Windows-XP and Windows-2000 were tested and we know they work. If your operating system is Windows-2000, go to Start/Setting/Control Panel and select Regional Options. If Window East Asian Language files are not found, you will need to install those files to your computer. You may be prompted to insert the Windows CD-ROM or directed to a network location where the files are located.

Fall students should enroll in one of the Program language offerings--Beginning, Intermediate or Advanced Chinese--once in Beijing, depending on their level of ability. The Intermediate and Advanced classes will be offered for Yale credit as Independent Tutorials through East Asian Languages and Literature (EALL), although the groupings may include more than one student. Spring students who have studied Chinese at Yale in the fall will continue with the second semester of the appropriate class.

Of course! Vesalius College offers instruction in French and Dutch. Since course level assignments are different for language courses in different countries, Vesalius College requires that any student wishing to register for a French or Dutch course that is not at the elementary level (no prior knowledge of the language) must take a written and oral language placement test during orientation week (week preceding the first week of classes).

No. The language of instruction for all courses offered by Vesalius College (except for the French Literature course) is English. Furthermore, although both French and Dutch are spoken in Brussels, English is spoken by the majority of its residents and is the de facto language used by most professional organizations. Studying in Brussels is, however, a prime opportunity for students to study French or Dutch and to become immersed in the language and Belgian culture.

The current Southeast Michigan and Southwest Ontario border crossings are among the busiest international crossings in North America and represent nearly 50 per cent of the traffic volume crossing the U.S./Canada border. Currently, more than 75,000 vehicles use the crossings each day. According to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation's Southwest Ontario Frontier International Gateway Study (1998), daily traffic at these crossings will grow to 104,000 vehicles by 2021.

Informed consent is a process, not only a piece of paper. To that end, those subjects who are presently enrolled and actively participating in the study should be informed of any changes if the changes might relate to the subjects' willingness to continue their participation in the study. Changes must receive HSC review and approval before they are implemented, unless an immediate change is necessary to eliminate an apparent hazard to the subjects.

It depends on how much is involved in the "knowing". If one learns enough Chinese for daily use, and can read the newspaper, it is not going to help too much. What a Teacher/Master needs is the ability to understand Classical Chinese and the traditional philosophy, cosmology, medicine, and arts in the whole. Even many natives in China don't know too much anymore. On the other hand, I have met a few Westerners whose ability to access Classical Chinese is very shocking.

No, but knowledge of the language certainly helps. However, somebody in the group should have an advanced English speaking level to communicate with the volunteer leaders (such as guides and researchers).

No, that is not necessary. A basic understanding of Mandarin is helpful for living and working in China, but it is not a requirement.

The Chinese Language School of Fairfield County is a not-for-profit school organized along the lines of a co-operative school. Our student population is multicultural in background, and our primary goal and aim is to foster a life-long interest in the Chinese language and in Chinese culture, and we welcome all students to the School. The School is managed and operated by interested parents and friends of the students.

Parents can best support their child by showing an interest in the Chinese homework and by asking the child to recite or show what he or she learned in the classroom each day. Chinese teachers assign homework that can be completed without parental assistance. If students prefer assistance, our Chinese faculty is available for tutoring in the extended day program.
