Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum. Or shall I say I am a "freshman" like my Chinese friends said!

I am currently in South Africa and have returned from Shenzhen on 5 June 2010. Shenzhen is a beautiful city with lots of opportunities.

I want to study Mandarin full time. In Shenzhen or South Africa.

Any suggestions where to study? Is there a school here in South Africa that can assist me with the learning of Mandarin?

I will appreciate all help and guidance in this regard.

I want to speak Mandarin fluently within the next 12 months.

Hope to hear from you soonest.

Best regards
