CIBER Success Stories

Working Mandarin from the University of North Carolina

"Working Mandarin was a wonderful resource to help me prepare for a study abroad semester in Shanghai. Those students who arrived in Shanghai with no knowledge of the language suffered more severe culture shock and very few of them left with more cultural and language knowledge than they had when they came."
