Learn Chinese in China with Keats School

An Exciting Night at Keats

After classes last week, our teachers went to a famous restaurant opposite Keats school. And so began an evening of fun and enjoyment. After a hard month’s work, the school wanted to reward its teachers with this night out, and so spent a good amount of time preparing a night out for the teachers.

Upon arriving at the VIP room of the restaurant, an appetizing feast was already laid out on two traditional Chinese circular tables, welcoming us. The room and all the dishes, which had been selected by the teachers three days earlier, had been most graciously prepared. There were many famous dishes, some being very spicy, including fish dishes, sweet and sour shrimp, stir fried beef, and lotus root.

Teachers gaily chatted while enjoying the delicious food, and after an hour or so, we all headed back to our school for some after-dinner activities. We were all amazed that a great variety of snacks and beverages had been set out for us, and we settled back to enjoy an evening filled with games and fun activities.

But first, was an informal meeting where the more experienced teachers happily shared some useful teaching methods and classroom exercises for the benefit of all the other teachers. This type of “sharing” enhances both communication between and among teachers, old and new, as well as increasing the effectiveness of their teaching skills.

With that finished, the teachers drew lots to form four teams and partook of friendly singing competitions. They had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the Friday’s night.

My first semester that I studied at another school, and the pressure there was pretty high, the classroom hour was long, and the homework was pretty tedious. Since I came to Keats, I found I have a lot more opportunities to speak in the classroom. My classmates all are fluent and love speaking and participating in the class. We have great classroom dynamic.

My name is Sarah Fish. I am 81. I knew very little Chinese when I arrived. How was I going to survive 2 weeks of intensive Chinese course? I have to laugh when I think of that now. What a positive experience this has been! I really wish we could be here a little longer. The teachers are extremely encouraging, evaluating first how much someone knows, and then starting from there.

I come to Kunming because I think the environment in Kunming is better and I heard that Keats School is better. I like the small group Chinese class because my classmates study hard and our teachers are very good. I like the teaching method of Keats because I like the activities at Keats. I think Yunnan is a particularly beautiful Chinese province.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

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.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

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.

Small Group Chinese Class

Before I came to Keats School, I had no confidence in my Chinese proficiency. I did not have the confidence to speak Mandarin Chinese and chat with Chinese people. However, after 4 months of study at Keats, I become more and more confident in speaking Chinese now. Studying Chinese in China at Keats School has been the best decision I have ever made. There are many games in the class, and my teacher’s teaching methods are also very interesting. My experience at Keats School has changed my view of China and Chinese people.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

So during my first week at Keats, I didn’t dare to speak any Chinese words. I found out that my Chinese level quickly improved since then. Although I have many options to study in China, for example, some other schools have homestay, I found I could immerse myself and fully focus on learning Chinese by staying at Keats.

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.
