Jeg besluttede mig for at lære kinesisk i Kunming, fordi jeg kan lide mindre byer, og jeg kan lide klimaet her. Vi studerede fire timer om dagen her, og min kære lærer lærte mig meget og mistede aldrig sin tålmodighed med mig. Det var en virkelig vidunderlig oplevelse at være her, og jeg anbefaler Keats skole og lærerne her til alle, der kan lide at lære kinesisk i Kina.
Så i løbet af min første uge på Keats turde jeg ikke tale nogen kinesiske ord. Jeg fandt ud af, at mit kinesiske niveau hurtigt var blevet bedre siden da. Selvom jeg har mange muligheder for at studere i Kina, for eksempel tilbyder nogle andre skoler homestay, opdagede jeg, at jeg kunne fordybe mig og fuldt ud fokusere på at lære kinesisk ved at bo på Keats.
Jeg må sige, det er vildt sjovt. Jeg har været her i 2 uger. Uden at vide, hvordan det ville være, var jeg mere end overrasket over, hvor fantastisk det er. Lærerne er fantastiske, de er forstående. De laver et kinesisk sprogprogram, der passer lige til dig. Beliggenheden er perfekt til at lære kinesisk i Kina.
Kunmings landskab er meget smukt. Det er det bedste sted at studere kinesisk i Kina. Min foretrukne læringsmetode på Keats School er én-til-én, fordi den er egnet til alle. Min lærer er meget god, meget omsorgsfuld og dejlig. Mit liv, når jeg lærer kinesisk i Kunming, er meget godt, og vejret er meget godt. Luften er meget god. Det er godt for de ældres krop.
Med hensyn til at studere kinesisk her, synes jeg, at leveforholdene er meget bekvemme, fordi kollegieværelset ligger meget tæt på klasseværelset. Vores lærere nyder virkelig at undervise i kinesisk. De er også meget passionerede. Sammenlignet med andre byer i Kina har Kunming et rigtig godt vejr.
Det er meget bekvemt at komme til Kunming fra Thailand. Jeg kan virkelig godt lide min kinesiskundervisning, og mit kinesisk blev meget bedre på et par måneder. Der er mange fordele ved at lære kinesisk. Det bedste, jeg kan lide ved Keats, er, at det ligger i Kunming, en by med det evige forår. Der er så meget at se i Kunming, og du vil elske denne by, når du kommer.
Alle mine klassekammerater bliver sammen i et år, og vi har forbedret os så meget! Lærerne på Keats er alle rigtig fantastiske. De kan lide at organisere en masse aktiviteter for at hjælpe os med at lære kinesisk. Jeg kan godt lide Keats! Jeg kan godt lide Kunming!
Det bedste ved skolen er instruktørernes tålmodighed og tiden til at fokusere på det grundlæggende som udtale. Jeg synes, det er meget nemt at springe dem over og gå over til ordforrådet. Men ved at lære udtalen føler jeg, at det hjalp mig med at få en bedre forståelse af sproget.
