I agree with fireball on this...

In terms of mandarin the variation of accents does make the possibility of not being understood in
certain regions very HIGH! In general no it doesn't have a huge effect but I know people that
complain that Sichuan people can't understand their accents (I'm talking native chinese from xi'an
and some dong bei places). I can understand the local accents of many places now due to the fact
that I can understand the sichuan accent (hainan, shaanxi, taiwan are just a few where there are
many similarities of the sound- with a lot less of an accent though than sichuan). In english I
have never encountered an accent I couldn't understand (unless it's one that is chalked full of
odd word usage but that has to do with understanding there meaning not what is coming out of your
mouth). I think in terms of studying mandarin it is better to study in a place with a generally
neutral accent and not somewhere like beijing (wait a minute why am I in Sichuan??????? it's not
neutral....). But that is just my opinion.

I agree with fireball on this, too
One of my colleges got much trouble when he traveled to Beijing on business, he found it’s
somewhat difficulty to understand the people there- and the other side found that too. He is well
educated, a guy with a bachelor degree, but he have never traveled to North China before that
trip... Of course the number of this kind is small
Sorry for my poor English. I am a native Chinese speaker.

In Shanghai, Tongji University International School JBC offers full-time and part-time Mandarin
courses. Our students study from 12 to 36 weeks. www.tongjistudy.com

Students like Shanghai because it's an international city and of course there are many choices for
entertainment. It's convenient also a great starting point for travel around China.

Our students who are most successful in learning the language are very determined to practise
wherever and whenever they have the opportunity. One of our best students gave a presentation on
his learning experience in China.

He emphasized reading, listening, speaking, writing as much as possible in any daily situation as
well as the classroom. It's important to make Chinese friends and even say you don't speak English
if you're from Europe etc. Maximize your opportunities to speak Mandarin and find your best
methods to learning the language.

It is possible to learn Mandarin successfully in Shanghai in addition to enjoying the attractions
and conveniences.

With all the talk about Xi'an on this thread, does anyone have a recommendation for an intensive
Mandarin course, or Institute offering individual or small group courses in Xi'an?

In my opinion,
Han Language is not a fast food. If not pressed by the way of life, don't take any intensive one.
