EarlyBirdInternational / EarlyBirdChina Thoughts

[Nexium]

Hey guys!

 

I'm interested in one of those homestay-cultural exchange programs in China. I've heard they are a great experience, but I'm having trouble deciding which ones are legitimate or not. The one I'm interested in is EarlyBirdInternationl. I have seen their website, read reviews (only 8 reviews) and saw there facebook page. It looks rather legitimate, but I'm wondering what some of you guys think? I want to be very careful. Any thoughts, recommendations, or suggestions?

Have a look at Living the Language here http://www.chinese-forums.com/index.php?/topic/26383-ltl-mandarin-school-with-chinese-homestays/

 

Need to say I do write review blogs for them, but no other involvement.

Seconded. I never did the LTL immersion in Chengde so I don't know how good it is but I did know the staff when I worked in Beijing and the company is legitimate.
