Ways to Learn Chinese: Comparison
Like most languages, learning how to speak Chinese Mandarin can be accomplished many ways. Whether it’s group courses, immersive cultural experiences, computer-based lessons or online coursework, it’s really up to the student to find a method that is most comfortable for him or her.
Learning how to speak Chinese Mandarin is not difficult, but it does take time. Like any foreign language, you have to be willing to put time and effort into the process if you want to become fluent.
Following is a comparison of the more popular ways of learning how to speak Chinese Mandarin, along with the pros and cons for each. This should help you make an informed choice regarding your own education.
Group courses
Many students enjoy learning in a group environment. In many communities, local colleges or private institutions offer basic or intermediate Chinese courses. These classes can be a great way to learn the language. However, you have to move at the pace of the average student in the class, so if you’re a fast learner or get stuck on a particular lesson, it’s easy to become frustrated. Plus, many students don’t feel comfortable pronouncing words before a bunch of strangers and pronunciation is very important when learning how to speak Chinese Mandarin.
Immersive study
Of course, learning the language in China is the best way to learn the language. Living in the country immerses you in the language as well as the culture. It is by far the best way to learn how to speak Chinese Mandarin. That said, studying abroad can be out of the reach of many in terms of budget and time away from home.

Studying in China what location would you suggest?
Hello, I'm a Canadian and I am looking for Chinese immersion studies.
I don't need help finding a course, but wanted suggestions on location. I want a city, but also access to smaller towns..without a 15 hour car ride. Perhaps I am asking too much? I've been interested in doing this for almost 10 years now, and want basically eat, breath, live the experience. You can learn anything if you don't go full tilt!
Also, any suggestions about being there? I know it will be total culture shock, but that actually keeps me going! 
Shanghai's as good a place as any. Live in the suburban areas and it's not the modern cityscape that downtown is (plus it's cheaper) if you want some of that "culture shock". With new super-express train service smaller towns aren't too hard to reach; heck, you can even go to Hong Kong entirely by train if you want (recommended because it's way cheaper than a plane ticket and you arrive in Kowloon).
