STUDY IN CHINA + TOUR IN CHINA

If you want to learn Mandarin Chinese while experiencing the stunningly beautiful scenery of China, the Chinese Language Course + Tour in China program is for you. We will design your Chinese language course according to your personal needs and organize your trips to different parts of China. For the Chinese language course, you can choose to study for 4 hours/day or 6 hours/day of intensive immersion one-on-one Chinese lessons from 1 week to 52 weeks. For traveling in China, we offer multiple 1-week tour packages. We will combine the two parts and create a customized program for you.

HASSLE FREE

This is a hassle-free program where you do not need to worry about study plans, travel plans, transportation, food, hotel, airport pick-up, etc because we will do everything for you. The tours/trips in China will be led by a professional Keats Chinese teacher, which means you will learn Mandarin Chinese in a practical context.

BRING YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY

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 or at other locations. It is a good opportunity to practice and show off your Mandarin Chinese skills.

True travel experience, not with a travel agency

The itineraries offered by travel agencies are often designed to appeal to a broad audience, which can lead to generic experiences that lack authenticity. Travelers might find themselves visiting tourist traps instead of enjoying unique, local experiences. Traveling with travel agencies usually comes with a very tight schedule, which moves from one place to another quickly.

However, traveling with a Chinese teacher offers the chance to experience the local culture deeply, and sometimes, you feel like you live there like a local. Each place on the tour itinerary is carefully selected to help students learn the local culture thoroughly while appreciating the beautiful scenery. You are not rushing but enjoying the trip at a relaxed pace.

Tour Packages

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 tour in China, we offer multiple 1-week tour packages. We will combine the two parts and create a customized program for you.

OVER 7300+ STUDENTS
HAVE STUDIED AT KEATS

Richard | UK
Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

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.

Hilary | USA
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.

David | Australia
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.

Sanny | USA
Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

I have to say it’s tons of fun. I have been here for 2 weeks. Not knowing what it was gonna be like, I was more than surprised at how great it is. The teachers are great, they are understanding. They do a Chinese language program that suits just you. The location is perfect for learning Chinese in China.

Alibaba | USA
Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

Kunming is a fantastic city. The weather here is great. The school is excellent. The instructors are very helpful, very friendly. I strongly recommend that anybody who is looking for a Chinese language school in China come here to study. Kunming and Keats school are much better than any other place.

Martine | France
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.

Dr. Med. Beatrice | Austria
Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

I decided to learn Chinese in Kunming because I like smaller cities and I like the climate here. We had four hours a day study here and my dear teacher taught me very much and never lost her patience with me. It was a really wonderful experience to be here and I recommend Keats school and the teachers here to everyone who likes to learn Chinese in China.

FAQ

If I choose a 2-week Chinese course in Kunming + 1-week tour, 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 1-week tour, 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 China, you can choose multiple tour packages. 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 or at other locations with 4 or 6 hours per day of Chinese lessons, then you can take a 1-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. 

We offer multiple 1-week tour packages, so you can also choose to do multiple tours if you to travel to all these places.

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 after you finish your one-on-one Chinese lessons in Kunming or at other locations. 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 China. 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 Kunming Campus.

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/friend 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/friends/relatives 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 USD 30/night.
