Hi there,
I was wondering if there are recommendable Chinese Intensive courses at universities /schools in
Shanghai. So far the only programs I found with 30 hours/week are in Beijing (BCLU, Beida etc.). I
did find some offers at Jiao Tong and other unis but they do not seem as structured and intensive
as the Beijing ones. Any input is appreciated!

Is it mandarin you would like to learn?Because in shanghai they dont speak the same dialect as in
beijing for example. Thats why theres a lot of foreigners studying there.
If u study in shanghai u wont be able to use the language anywhere else.

I would like to study Mandarin not the Shanghainese dialect. Jiao Tong and other Shanghainese
universities do offer Mandarin courses, just not the intensive modes as in Beijing.

I think he means if you learn to speak Mandarin in Shanghai, you'll only be able to practice the
language in the classroom, because everyone else in the city speaks the local dialect. In Beijing
everyone speaks Mandarin, so you can practise outside of the classroom by inflicting yourself on
the locals.
Though I have to say, when we visited Shanghai we found no shortage of Mandarin speakers.

now most shanghainese that under 40 years old can speak very good mandarin thanks to the promotion
of mandarin since 1970s, and they often speak it becoz huge waves of non locals have poured there
to find jobs( and get jobs) and reside there......so i'd say there's no problem at all finding
people skeaking mandarin there. actually even in Guangzhou, mandarin is becomming more and more
commonly used.

This is the school I'm planning to attend.
The price is less than most all other schools I've researched and I've also heard it's a good
school.
If anyone can offer additional feedback or comments it would welcome.
Also, I completely agree with currahee. There are plenty of Mandarin speakers in Shanghai.

the universities that seem to have a good reputation for teaching languages to foreigners in
Shanghai are:
复旦大学
交通大学
同济大学
外国语大学
华东师范大学
so 外国语大学 is a good choice, and they are next to a lightrail station (note: the lightrail
cease operations earlier in the evening, around 9:30, subway continues until 11:00)
交通大学 is the only one really downtown
复旦大学 is the farthest from downtown, without nearby subway/lightrail, and has the most
同济大学 is also a bit far, although less than 复旦大学 and quite also big
华东师范大学 is probably the prettiest, with a small river
