Learn Chinese in China with Keats School

A Popular Mobile App – WeChat

  • January 17, 2015

Last Friday night, some one-on-one students had a daytrip within the Kunming city. When they encountered a minor problem and tried to contact Keats staff, none of them had a valid SIM card to make a local call. One of the students came up with an idea – contacting Keats staff using his mobile app, which is WeChat. Then they finally made their way to contact Joy of Keats School.

微信, its English name is WeChat. Developed in 2011, WeChat is a free app for real-time Internet phone calls and messages. It is now one of the most popular apps among Chinese people. Almost every young Chinese use the WeChat to communicate with their family and friends. To many users, the WeChat sometimes even replaces the phone calls and short messages.

Thanks to the WeChat, the students successfully found Joy who helped the students solve their problems and they were very grateful to Joy’s show-up in time. However, Joy was more thankful to the WeChat. Based on her real experience, Joy recommend any student who comes to learn Chinese in China to download the WeChat on their smart phones. Even you don’t have a valid SIM card, you can still find us through the WeChat under the wifi condition.

There is another feature of WeChat that is worth mentioning, which is the Friends Circle. Many Chinese learners use the Friends Circle to share their amazing experience in China. Friends can “like” or comment on the post. This function is more like the Facebook. It is also a great way to meet new Chinese friends.

There are now two versions of WeChat, one is the Chinese version and the other one is the International version. Keats students use the International version as its language is in English. You are also welcome to try the Chinese version which is the one that Chinese people are using. Take out your mobile phones and download the WeChat now! You can find out more information about the WeChat here: http://weixin.qq.com/

Listening and speaking in the classroom every day has improved my communication skills. After three weeks, my new words and sentences became more and more natural and fluent. Now I am used to thinking in Chinese, and I understand better what other people say, to be able to have real conversations with other people.

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.

I have studied at Keats for 2 semesters. I highly recommend Keats School. If you are very interested in taking a Mandarin course in China, I would suggest you come to Kunming. Kunming people are very friendly. The weather in Kunming is great. So I recommend that you study Chinese at Keats in Kunming.

We use a lot of games to learn grammar and new words. We have really good teachers, really patient. She helps us a lot. Our class is really nice and we have people from all over the world, different countries. We often discuss topics in Chinese in our class. I live in the dorm of Keats. It is very convenient. I don’t have to spend time traveling. You can just focus on learning Chinese.

I can’t tell you how much I liked it. The thing I liked about the teachers and the teaching method is that there is so much flexibility. The other thing I liked about the teaching is the combination of classic textbook learning and going outside. I loved it! I like getting to know other students. Everybody shared the same goal and that’s making their Chinese better. Kunming is a big city, but it is very safe to live here. Another thing I liked about Keats is the idea that people here help you. I can’t recommend it enough. I think it was a valuable experience. Looking forward to coming back!

The visa application was really straightforward, because Keats School helps us a lot with that. Keats has a big emphasis on conversational practice, so we learn a lot of vocabulary and daily life plans which is very convenient for us to go around town and speak with Chinese people which is the whole point of learning Chinese in China.
