      Study, Live and Dine in ONE Building

        You do not have to catch a bus and rush to school in Kunming from where you live, and you do not have to search for where to eat after class; because you can study, eat and live in ONE BUILDING at Kunming campus. This is really hard to find when you study Chinese in China and take a full-time Chinese course in China. Keats owns 54 single dorm rooms with private bathrooms at the Kunming headquarter. Most of the time, the school is fully booked. Make sure you register early enough to get a room in the school building.

        Chinese Language Immersion Program

          There are two choices for one-on-one Chinese language classes: 4 hours per day (20 hours per week) and 6 hours per day (30 hours per week). You can choose the level of intensity according to your needs. If your time to study in China is very limited and you want to make the most out of your time at Keats, 6 hours per day is recommended. If you are on a vacation and want to have a relaxed schedule while making solid progress, 4 hours per day is recommended. The intensive one-on-one Mandarin course is the best immersion language program in China for adults/teenagers. If you want to take a summer immersion Chinese program, this is the best for you.

          If you want to bring back gifts for your family and friends, a beautiful work of Chinese calligraphy written by you couldn’t be better. After taking 3 to 5 lessons in Chinese calligraphy, our students are able to write their own works of Chinese calligraphy. One Chinese calligraphy lesson is 2 hours and there are 2 lessons per week. They are arranged either in the evening or at a time when you are not taking the Chinese language course.

          If you want to keep healthy, Tai Chi/Taiji or Kung Fu can be a great choice for the time when you learn Mandarin Chinese in China. When you practice Tai Chi, you will learn the hard and soft martial art technique, and enjoy the philosophy of Yin and Yang. Both Tai Chi and Kung Fu are good for self-defense, aesthetic appeal and physical and mental health. There are 2 hours for one Tai Chi/Kung Fu lesson and 2 lessons per week.

          If you want to take the tasty Chinese cuisine back home, take our Chinese cooking class because we will teach you how to prepare delicious Chinese food. You may wonder why the Kong Pao Chicken served at Keats is way more delicious than the one served in Chinatown in your country. At Keats, you will find the answer and the secret behind Chinese cooking. After taking the Chinese cooking class, you will be able to prepare your own food at home and surprise your friends at a party or family gathering. You will learn to cook 4 dishes per week.

          The Chinese musical instrument can be chosen from Guzheng, Erhu, Pipa and Hulusi. Guzheng, Erhu, and Pipa have thousands of years of history and have distinctive sounds. Guzheng and Pipa were important musical instruments in ancient Chinese palace and favored by many Chinese emperors. Erhu was originated from Tang Dynasty and was very popular in the northern area. Hulusi is a typical Yunnan musical instrument, and a classic representation of minority music. The Chinese musical instrument is 2 hours per lesson, 2 lessons per week.

          Intensive One on One Chinese Classes

          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.

          Intensive One on One Chinese Classes

          I’ve been at Keats school and Kunming now for one month doing the one-on-one Chinese lessons with two different teachers. I really enjoy it. Both of my teachers are very friendly and patient. They really helped me to improve my Chinese, both of my reading and speaking. I really enjoy studying Chinese in Kunming as well. This city is really beautiful and the weather is nice, the air is clean. It’s one of the best cities in China to study Chinese.

          Intensive One on One Chinese Classes

          I really enjoy this place because we have private Mandarin lessons. I took the 6-hour program, 4 hours in the morning, 2 in the afternoon. Even though it is quite a lot, the teaching is complimentary. This is very helpful because I could review what I did before and learn new things. My 2 teachers are fantastic. We live in the school, so it is convenient. It is interesting to me to meet people from all over the world.

          Intensive One on One Chinese Classes

          I’ve had a really great time here. I’ve studied a lot with my teacher who was fantastic. Keats School tried very hard to match its students with really good teachers that their personality works very well together. I really enjoy studying Chinese at Keats and I will definitely come back.

          Intensive One on One Chinese Classes

          In the one-to-one intensive Chinese course, you can choose the learning method you like. The small group Chinese class in China at Keats follows the HSK textbook. Teachers often collect feedback from the students, teachers listen to our requirements and opinions. I felt that my oral level is better than before .

          Intensive One on One Chinese Classes

          It doesn’t matter what level of Chinese you have, or even you can start from the zero level. Your teacher will prepare the lessons according to your requirements. The advantage of living in the school is that you will have your tutoring, you will have your private accommodation with your own bathroom and all the meals provided. I highly recommend everybody to actually take the whole package because you get to meet other students.

          Intensive One on One Chinese Classes

          It has been notable because I have met a lot of people who I met first time last year like me to come back to Keats this year. The teaching has been fantastic. The teachers carefully prepare each lesson. I think this one-on-one approach is really a great way to rapidly increase your level of Chinese and increase your confidence and fluency with the language.

          Ramji | USA

          Intensive One on One Chinese Classes

          The best part of the school is the patience the instructors had and the time to focus on the fundamentals like pronunciation. I think it is very easy to skip over those and go to vocabulary. But by learning the pronunciation, I feel like it helped me gain a better understanding of the language.
