It marks the exciting first school day for DHICA 2026 students at East China Normal University. Two tailored Chinese language classes have been set up this academic term, namely the Elementary Chinese Class and Advanced Chinese Class. The classrooms are filled with a relaxed and pleasant learning atmosphere, where students interact actively and joyfully with teachers. We sincerely hope that throughout the whole semester, all students can steadily improve their Chinese proficiency, gain in-depth insights into rich Chinese traditional culture, and make friends with peers from all over the world.
