absolutely social<\/strong>
\nI first met Lu Yin from China in Denmark. Lu is now back in China running a group of companies which work to overcome the gap caused by poor English language teaching outside of China\u2019s well known cities. He does this by arranging for Westerners to come and teach English to children at weekend schools as well as matching university interns with smaller Chinese companies which could use English speakers to reach a Western market. So let\u2019s go absolutely social and hear first about the schools\u2026and then more about Lu\u2019s internship scheme.<\/p>\n

We also hear from one of the teachers that Lu has recruited. I spoke to Alejandro Bueno about why he went to China to join Lu teaching English. The newest recruit is Ignasi, who, unlike Alejandro, had never been to China before his assignment with I Go To China. So there were pros and cons of going to China to teach English, to work as an intern or to do both!<\/p>\n

So how much understanding, acceptance and adaptation did you hear? You\u2019re welcome to leave us a comment here on our blog or on our facebook page or YouTube channel<\/a>. And if you are interested in a Chinese adventure then contact me directly.<\/p>\n
