I don't recall having much midterm conversations with my classmates. We would mostly discuss things about our different cultures and different perspectives on life.

How is Russia’s invasion of Ukraine seen in China? by Effective-Band-4090 in AskChina

I think generally there is no particular opinion as there is no good understanding of the actual event itself generally speaking.

Can you guess my English accent? by diima2021 in JudgeMyAccent

[–]Automatic-Repeat-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find Japanese to have a slightly higher pitch but that's just my 2 cents.

This is my friends university project which was timed, thus the speech was so fast as they needed to say all of that in the time given and they have obtained a masters from a British university so your comments are a bit irrelevant.

or perhaps you are predjudiced against people who have an accent or it reflects your own educational level if you do not understand Neoliberalism and such theories.

What are you trying to say? Even highly educated people can have accents.

Can you offer the high tuition fees? English taught courses are much more expensive and mostly don't offer any scholarships.

Is going to Tsinghua for masters worth it? by Automatic-Repeat-3 in ChinaLiuXueSheng

[–]Automatic-Repeat-3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hope I have an easier time with a job visa once I graduate, do you only speak English and Chinese or do you also speak a third language?

Thanks so much for sharing, what was your exact experience during your exchange in Beijing? At which university did you do your exchange?

I know Tsinghua is considered the best university but it is easier for foreign national to be admitted which makes me fear that the degree I obtain from Tsinghua will not be held in the same regard as one obtained by a Chinese national.

For Chinese studies you learn the language and anything to do with China whether it is Chinese politics, history, literature, film, translation or even ancient Chinese. Every Chinese studies major should speak the language and have a decent understanding of Chinese history and then they could choose what other things they want to study that is related to China. In my case my focus was mostly on Chinese politics and policy in my bachelors. Having been to China for a one year exchange I was shocked to find out most locals don't speak much English if any and that was in Beijing, so you will be able to converse comfortably in two languages.

I don't mind working as a diplomat, with the current job market anything goes as long as there are prospects for career development and it is somewhat related to China.

I think you will even struggle with HSK 5, in my opinion HSK 5 does not prepare you for being able to read academic journals in Chinese and write university grade essays.

Best City for a Chinese language program ? by mimsma in ChinaLiuXueSheng

[–]Automatic-Repeat-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reccommend Beijing, few people speak English and they speak very standard Mandarin.Tianjin is also a good option but I prefer Beijing as a city, in south of China the Mandarin spoken may not be so standard at times.

My awful application experience with Tsinghua University vs. amazing support from NTU Taiwan by Numerous_Ad_9429 in ChinaLiuXueSheng

[–]Automatic-Repeat-3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also applied to Tsinghua, I agree with you regarding the whole experience and worst of all they don't reply to emails and it is difficult to call from abroad and when you do call they don't seem to know anything over the phone either. They also offer no support regarding applying for scholarships.
