What families say
“The DukeEngage China-Zhuhai program seemed almost tailor-made for me. As a Chinese and Linguistics major who plays classical & jazz piano, has never been to China, and loves to teach, I could be teaching, learning, living, and breathing Chinese while teaching English and music.” — Alexander Behura
