Det er meget behageligt at studere på Keats. Lærerne er meget venlige. Jeg byder dig velkommen til at komme og studere kinesisk i Kina på Keats.
På Keats har jeg mange muligheder for at øve mig i det, jeg har lært. Jeg kan virkelig godt lide denne skole, fordi jeg kan lære kinesisk én-til-én, så jeg synes, det er det bedste immersionsprogram i Kina, og min lærer er den bedste lærer. Jeg føler, at uden min lærer ville mit kinesisk bestemt ikke blive bedre så meget. Jeg er meget glad, for på Keats har jeg forbedret mit kinesisk betydeligt.
Jeg fandt Keats School, og jeg er så glad for, at jeg gjorde det. Når man lærer kinesisk i Kina på Keats, bliver man taget godt vare på. Min lærer er virkelig fantastisk, og vi bliver dejlige venner.
Jeg kan ikke beskrive, hvor meget jeg kunne lide det. Det, jeg kunne lide ved lærerne og undervisningsmetoden, er, at der er så meget fleksibilitet. Den anden ting, jeg kunne lide ved undervisningen, er kombinationen af klassisk lærebogsundervisning og at være udendørs. Jeg elskede det! Jeg kan godt lide at lære andre studerende at kende. Alle delte det samme mål, og det er at forbedre deres kinesisk. Kunming er en stor by, men det er meget trygt at bo her. En anden ting, jeg kunne lide ved Keats, er ideen om, at folk her hjælper dig. Jeg kan ikke anbefale det nok. Jeg synes, det var en værdifuld oplevelse. Jeg glæder mig til at komme tilbage!
Det er ligegyldigt, hvilket niveau du har i kinesisk, eller du kan starte helt fra niveau nul. Din lærer vil forberede lektionerne efter dine behov. Fordelen ved at bo på skolen er, at du får din egen undervisning, du har din egen indkvartering med dit eget badeværelse og alle måltider inkluderet. Jeg kan varmt anbefale alle at tage hele pakken, fordi du får mulighed for at møde andre studerende.
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.
Jeg har haft en rigtig god tid her. Jeg har studeret meget med min lærer, som var fantastisk. Keats School gjorde en stor indsats for at matche sine elever med virkelig gode lærere, så deres personligheder fungerer rigtig godt sammen. Jeg nyder virkelig at studere kinesisk på Keats, og jeg kommer helt sikkert tilbage.
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.
