I really appreciated the commitment of my homestay professor to the immersion method of teaching Mandarin Chinese. On only the rarest of occasions did I speak English. Otherwise - I managed entirely in Mandarin - which challenged my communication skills and forced me to think in the language. This was exactly what I was looking for.
