Hello all!

I’m thinking about to study chinese at Suzhou University in 2010.
I would like to ask some questions to people which have allready studied at Suzhou University (long term course chinese language).

My background: I’m working in a german companz in Taicang for almost 2 years. My plan is to go back to Europe in late 2010.

I would be happy if somebody would like to answer me some questions.
My contact: sven@sven-b.com (email or msn).

@Jay: Try this post - it has a phone number and e-mail address of the program admin. Just ask them to send you some information about the program.

Hi,
Please, can you give me the website to learn about studying Mandarin at Suzhou University – I have looked and looked at the university website and just don’t know how to find information in English on the program specifics.

Thank you!

Jay

Anyone still going to Soochow University Dushu Lake Campus? I’m a freshman there now. Just curious to see if there are any other Americans or foreigners other than Indians/Pakistanis/Indonesians lol.

I wish I could find a class to join. Instead I need to work so I don’t have enough time to enroll at the local university. Guess I’ll be stuck with my self-study program for another year. At this rate, I’ll be fluent by the time I’m 80.

Hey man, I’m in exact same boat. (shotgun!)
A bit ago, my plan was to jump in 2nd semester, which would still probably be too low, but better than all the ni haos.
Lately though, not even sure if I’ll be able to do that. Looks like it’s going to be a year of self study, trying to get my book skills up to par. (beers and books…we’ll see how that goes.)

@Chris: Welcome back man. And yeah, I agree a little healthy competition is handy.

@Erin: Cheers for the tip – I’ve got my little red book, but will have to try and find the other one – albeit, not fro Amazon.

Dear lord, I just saw the price Amazon has listed… it wasn’t that expensive at the bookstore in Suzhou, I swear…

There’s an awesome Pinyin/English dictionary I picked up when I was studying there years ago. Not only could you look up characters by pronunciation and english word, you could also look stuff up by stroke counts and radicals. It was pretty awesome. Here’s the Amazon link: Cheng & Tsui Chinese-English-Pinyin Dictionary

That, and my version of the little red book (mini-chinese/english/pinyin dictionary) and I was set to go.
