In-Depth Information
For linguistic pursuits and to communicate better with your
ā
yí
or driver, Shunyi
and northeast Chaoyang have schools to cater to expat families. You can easily find a
private tutor, or for something more social, investigate options at schools such as Mandar-
in
Express
School
(
www.mandarinex.com
)
,
Live
the
Language
Mandarin
School
(
www.livethelanguage.cn
)
, and the Bridge School (
www.bridgeschoolchina.com
)
.
Education options in the area can also extend to cooking—for you or your
ā
yí
. One of
the frustrations that many expats find is that though their
ā
yí
are hard working and caring,
their cooking skills are limited to family-style Chinese food, which is great, but you and
your family might not want to eat it three times a day seven days a week. Christina's Cater-
ing Beijing (

)
runs special classes dedicated to educating
ā
yí
to cook the kind of food Westerners like to eat, as well as classes for Westerners who
want to cook the food their
ā
yí
like to eat.
