Learning Mandarin in China

Take a gap year in China and spend it learning Mandarin & teaching English in a rural community. Come home with a new language under your belt, an understanding of a new culture and the knowledge that you've made a difference. We recommend gap year travel experts Africa & Asia Venture, who only sign up 100 people each year, ensuring you're on a project that really needs you, and that you get the support you need. Customise this patchwork, ask your friends and family to help make your trip possible, then head to Venture to book it.
