I’ve always wanted to go to China and I’ve
always intended to study Chinese in China.
INTO gave me my first opportunity to fulfil
that goal. Going to China was my first real
‘out of country’ experience because I’ve
grown up in the US my entire life. It was one
of the best experiences I’ve had!
Dan Janson

Learning Chinese with friends from different
countries helped me study another country’s
culture. It gave me a chance for cultural
exchange. If possible I would like to work in
China in the future. This programme made
me think about many things. I have taken
away many questions that I am asking
myself. How to live? How to study in the
future? What kind of work I want to do? What
kind of person do I want to be? There are
many thoughts coming into my heart and I
have found myself change a lot.
