        A notable feature of the Chinese Language Course + Tour in China program is that you can come alone to study Chinese and then invite your friends or family to join the tours in China if they are not interested in learning Chinese. This gives you a chance to gather with your family while you learn Chinese in Kunming. It is a good opportunity to practice and show off your Mandarin Chinese skills.

        THE PROGRAM'S IMPACT

        Chinese Language Course + Tour in China

        I’ve had an amazing time at Keats. I am amazed at how much I’ve learned over the last 3 weeks and I will be really sad to go. We are already planning on our next trip of coming back because we had such a fantastic time here. They really tailor the Chinese language course to you and your individual needs.

        Nicholas | Canada

        Chinese Language Course + Tour in China

        At Keats, I have a lot of opportunities to practice what I have learned. I really like this school, because I can learn Chinese in one-on-one style, so I think this is the best immersion program in China and my teacher is the best teacher. I feel that without my teacher, my Chinese will definitely not improve so much. I’m very happy because, at Keats, I have improved my Chinese significantly.

        Shihori | Japan

        Chinese Language Course + Tour in China

        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 .

        Claudia | Australia

        Chinese Language Course + Tour in China

        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.

        Paul | UK

        Chinese Language Course + Tour in China

        All teachers are really lovely. The teaching level at Keats is so much higher. I really love the city. It is very comfortable to get around. I fully recommend Keats. It is a great place to study Chinese in China. We are looking forward to coming back again later this year.

        Chinese Language Course + Tour in China

        I am a graduate student working on my doctorate degree at Columbia University. We were able to really focus on speaking especially interview-style speaking and we are able to really up my Chinese reading and writing skills, so when I go back to Columbia, I can take formal Chinese classes. It has been a really good experience and I really love my teacher.

        Chinese Language Course + Tour in China

        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.

        Chinese Language Course + Tour in China

        One thing I really liked was that I was able to work with my teacher to make an individual plan of study. Another really nice thing is that you live at the school, you feel completely safe.  You always have a group of people who are willing to do things with you on the weekends or in the evenings. They are serving you all the 3 meals a day, the food was excellent.

        Rients's Story at Keats Kunming, My Second Hometown

        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.
