Language is better together
In 2022, GoEast achieved a significant milestone by teaching Mandarin to thousands of students worldwide for over 10 years. However, we are determined to make Mandarin learning accessible to a diverse range of individuals, as we believe that learning from live teachers or premium subscriptions is more effective than relying solely on free materials. Thus, we started the “No limits to learning” scholarship in partnership with generous sponsors. The response has been overwhelming, with over 500K page visits and 600+ sincere applications, which deeply touched us.
In 2023, we’re motivated to continue our charitable scholarship initiative to bridge the gap and provide access to Mandarin learning for individuals from diverse backgrounds. We aim to create an inclusive environment where individuals from all walks of life can learn from our experienced teachers and benefit from cultural exchange. Our scholarship program is dedicated to promoting inclusivity, diversity, and friendship, and we look forward to empowering more individuals to learn Mandarin with us.
