The idiomatic expressions are often used in daily conversations which can express the meanings intended to say indirectly. Usually speaking, there are two main characteristics in Chinese idiomatic expressions, namely, the unity of meaning and the stability of the structure. As a matter of fact, some of students who volunteer in China might be told that the […]

Therefore, it is warmly welcomed and widely used by the general public. As […]

We all know that both adverbial and attribute are the components placed before the head word for the purpose of modifying or describing the heads word. However, there are also some differences between them. To tell them apart, we need to take the head words, modifying parts and the nature of the whole phrases into […]
Since the main purpose of learning Chinese language is to communicate with Chinese people more fluently, the learners need to understand and use more oral expressions which are frequently used in daily communication. For example, the phrase 不好说is to show to be uncertain of or have no confidence about what has said. You may often hear it […]
In some cases, there are some other inserted parts in the sentence except for the six main basic elements of Chinese sentences. The students who got internships in China might be told that the inserted element in the sentence is a relatively special part. Usually speaking, the parenthesis does not act as any sentence part […]
There are three forms of the lexicalization of the grammar teaching in Chinese language, the first one of which should be to simplify the grammar teaching system. After the lexicalization procedure of the grammar teaching, the burden of the grammar teaching will be greatly relieved so that the teaching grammar system will be more brief and […]
In Chinese language, the sentence is divided into the simple sentence and the complex sentence. We often hear people say the complex sentence is composed of several simple sentences, which is as a matter of fact incorrect saying. However, it is reasonable to regard the complex sentence as the grammar unit has a higher level than […]
The combination of form and meaning seems a question needless to be discussed. However, in the teaching practice, it is always a complex problem which has not been solved. We can discuss the form and meaning in different situations and various theoretical frames. The syntax, semantics and pragmatics all have their own forms and meanings. […]

I have studied at Keats for 2 semesters. I highly recommend Keats School. If you are very interested in taking a Mandarin course in China, I would suggest you come to Kunming. Kunming people are very friendly. The weather in Kunming is great. So I recommend that you study Chinese at Keats in Kunming.
My teachers are all excellent. They trained the teachers so professionally. I feel like I learn very quickly with my teacher. They are very serious about their students and I know every teacher is like this. I would highly recommend that you come to Keats if you are looking for the best Chinese school in China.
About studying Chinese here, I think the living condition is very convenient because the dorm is very close to the classroom. Our teachers really enjoy teaching Chinese. They are also very passionate. Compared with other cities in China, Kunming has really good weather.
It is very comfortable studying at Keats. The teachers are very friendly. I welcome you to come to study Chinese in China at Keats.
I took the one-on-one Intensive Chinese class for 6 hours a day. The classes are very interesting. The teachers are caring and the content the teacher teaches me is suitable for my level. It is an easy way to learn Mandarin. I have a lot of time practicing Chinese in class. The food is great here. I have improved my Chinese through this program at Keats.
This is my second time coming. Last year, I also came for about 12 weeks. This time I came for 13 weeks of a summer program in China. The reason why I particularly want to come to this school was because of the one-on-one classes. I was able to increase my level and learn Chinese more quickly than in group classes. If I have a chance again to come next year, I certainly will.
I can’t tell you how much I liked it. The thing I liked about the teachers and the teaching method is that there is so much flexibility. The other thing I liked about the teaching is the combination of classic textbook learning and going outside. I loved it! I like getting to know other students. Everybody shared the same goal and that’s making their Chinese better. Kunming is a big city, but it is very safe to live here. Another thing I liked about Keats is the idea that people here help you. I can’t recommend it enough. I think it was a valuable experience. Looking forward to coming back!
I think the Chinese learning environment here is great. The teaching methods are also very interactive and fun. What I particularly enjoy here is the fact that my teacher does not stick to the textbook. We spend a lot of time discussing general topics, such as Chinese culture, world news, typical expressions used by local people. We also discuss social and economic topics.
