FAQ
If I choose a 2 week Chinese course in Kunming + 2 weeks travel, how is it organized? Course before, trip afterwards?
You can design your own Chinese language course + Tour program. For example, you can do a 2-week course and then a 2-week travel, or you can do 1-week course, and then 1-week travel, and then 1-week course, and then 1-week travel (still 2 weeks of course + 2 weeks of travel). You can do the combination at your preference.
For the Chinese language course, you can choose to study for 4 hours/day or 6 hours/day of intensive one-on-one Chinese immersion classes from 1 week to 52 weeks. For the tours in Yunnan, you can choose to travel for 1 week or 2 weeks. You can decide when to take the tours during the program.
Is it learning Mandarin while touring or is it one week learning and then touring after?
The Chinese language course + Tour program is a program that combines the intensive one-on-one Chinese course with trips, but you are not taking them together. You can choose to study Chinese in Kunming with 4 or 6 hours per day of Chinese lessons, then you can take a 1-week or 2-week tour after the Chinese language program finishes. The Chinese lessons and the tours are separate, but you can decide when to take the tour. For example, if a student takes a Chinese language course for 8 weeks + 1-week tour, he/she can decide when to take the tour. For example, he/she can take the tour after 4 weeks of Chinese lessons, then take another 4 weeks of lessons after the tour, or he/she can take the 1-week tour after 8 weeks of one-on-one Chinese lessons.
I don't know when to take the tour, does Keats have some suggestions?
If you are a short-term student who studies less than 4 weeks, you can take the 1-week tour or 2-week tour after you finish your one-on-one Chinese lessons in Kunming. In this way, you can practice what you have learned in the classroom during the trip because you will be accompanied by a Keats Chinese teacher during the trip.
If you are a long-term student who studies for more than 4 weeks, we can arrange the tours during the middle of your Chinese program. Now you can have a break from your Chinese lessons by taking wonderful tours in Yunnan. The tours will make you refreshed and re-energized and get you ready for your second part of Chinese lessons. Here is a sample schedule:
Chinese lessons for 10 weeks –> Tour for 1 week –> Chinese lessons for another 10 weeks –> Tour for another week
Are the meals included?
The 3 meals a day are offered Monday to Friday when you take Chinese classes at Keats.
The price includes breakfast when you travel. The price does not include lunch or dinner when you travel because you will have many options to choose from.
If I join for the immersion, can I bring my wife as a +1 for the travel portion of the trip and she would stay with me in my room?
Yes, you are very welcome to bring your wife to join the tour. Family members and friends are encouraged to join the tour if they don’t take Chinese classes at Keats. You can select 2 PERSONS in the tour part when you register.
If you travel by yourself, you can select 1 PERSON when you register.
What's the check-in date and check-out date?
Your accommodation at Keats starts on Sunday. You can arrive on a Sunday and start your lessons on Monday. The check-out date is Saturday after you finish your lessons on Friday. If it is hard to find the best flight to arrive on Sunday or to leave on Saturday and you need to arrive one day earlier or leave one day later, that’s also possible. The extra cost for accommodation is RMB 200/night.
