About Yago
Yago aims to unlock the opportunities Singapore offers to young people. Singapore is an ideal venue to learn Chinese and at the same time immerse yourself in South East Asia and the culture, tourism and even internship opportunites the region offers.
We believe that a language holiday doesn’t stop by selecting a good language school and arranging accommodation. The activities you undertake besides your Mandarin studies will make your study trip truly memorable. Singapore, in the heart of tropical South East Asia, is a global city that offers you lots of choices, whether you are looking for night life, cultural destinations, beaches, water sports activities or even an internship.
Yago is run by Guus Goorts and Yiran You.
