"The Confucius Institute has played a significant role in shaping my interest in the Chinese language and culture. It provided me with the opportunity to learn the language, visit China, and develop a strong interest in working within the Chinese sector. Through the Confucius Institute, I have also been able to connect with Chinese companies, which has further enhanced my career aspirations."

Business Professional
Asante Joseph Romeo

BCT Certified Professional

"The Confucius Institute at the University of Ghana (CIUG), established to promote Chinese language and culture, has greatly benefited me. I am Dela Deh, a graduate of the University of Ghana with a bachelor's degree in History and Chinese, and CIUG has been central to my improvement in spoken Chinese. Before discovering CIUG, I studied Chinese without practical speaking opportunities and could not assess my fluency. Regularly visiting the Institute and interacting with its teachers and other Chinese speakers gave me constant practice, leading to a rapid and significant improvement in my fluency, an outcome I believe would not have been possible without CIUG."
