The first option is to travel to China or Taiwan in order to become a full time student

It goes without saying that traveling to Asia is one of the surest ways to improve your fluency in Chinese. It is possible to get experience talking in Chinese to native speakers over the internet, or in your city, but nothing approaches “total immersion” like a trip to China or Taiwan. In Asia language learners are constantly provided with opportunities to exercise their language skills. Not only that, but they are constantly immersed in an atmosphere of spoken Chinese.

Traveling to Asia is also a great way to get in touch with the real reasons that you’re learning Chinese. There are amazing opportunities for foreigners in Asia, and when you’ve arrived and are willing to learn Chinese you can make connections and friendships that can be of great benefit later on. The best way to learn Chinese is to dive headfirst into speaking, and the best way to use Chinese is to dive headfirst into the culture and geography of the Chinese speaking world.

Most people believe that a trip to Asia for the purpose of learning Chinese is financially unfeasible, but it can be cheaper than you’d ever imagine. There are programs and opportunities that can enable you to achieve your dreams, and maybe even come out with more money than you had initially.
