Learn Chinese in China with Keats School

Blossom Season Kunming

  • Liubing
  • March 15, 2014

Kunming, “Spring City of China”, is famous for its beautiful weather, like spring all year round. Thus, you can see flowers everywhere in Kunming. Kunming local people know exactly when to appreciate the beauty of different kinds of flowers. During the summer, locals go to the Daguan Park to see the lotus; during the autumn, locals go to the same park to see chrysanthemum; during the winter, locals go to the Black Dragon Pool to see plum blossom; during the spring, locals go to the Golden Temple to appreciate the camellias. Keats teachers suggest Keats students to take the golden time now in Kunming to see the beautiful flowers in each park. Last week, Keats teacher took her student to the Yuantong Mountain to see the sakura and crabapple blossoms.

Isi is a returning student who comes to learn Chinese in China  at Keats every summer. Now this is his fifth time in Kunming at Keats School. Luckily, now is March and is also a great time experience the sakura season in Yuantong Moutain. Therefore, Isi’s teacher arranged an outdoor lesson for Isi. Before the outdoor lesson, the teacher gave a brief introduction of the Yuantong Mountain, and also posted a few tasks for Isi to force him practice his Chinese while seeing the beautiful flowers. Although Isi is not an expert in photographing, he is very interested in taking photos and prepared a professional camera before he came to Kunming. Now the camera became very important for his trip to the Yuantong Moutain and helped him record to the beautiful moment. The teacher and the student were amazed by the sakura everywhere once they entered the park. Isi was trying to practice his Chinese with other Chinese people while appreciating the amazing scenery. Isi loves kids and always shows his friendliness to the Chinese kids and take pictures with them.

Isi enjoyed his experience at the Yuantong Moutain and recommended it to other students. Keats teachers arrange outdoor lessons every week or every two weeks to let the students put what they have learned in classroom into practical situations. If you are in Kunming now or plan to visit Kunming in spring, don’t forget to go to the Yuantong Mountain to celebrate the “Sakura Season”.

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.

The place is very cool. I am with a great group of people in my class, so coming to classes is very enjoyable. It is fun, we have a lot of discussions, games, activities. Our teachers are also very good, very supportive. Learning Chinese is intimidating at the start because you have so many questions. But I would advise coming to Keats because the atmosphere for learning is great. It is very relaxing. I would recommend the school.

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 found Keats to be very good, teachers are excellent and really take the students seriously. Kunming is the best place to learn Mandarin in China. The environment is awesome, no pollution. The air quality is great, good weather. The people here are very friendly. I come to take classes every day. I feel comfortable studying Chinese at Keats. I learned so many things, although I only studied at Keats for 2 months. I am really satisfied with my teacher. For us foreigners, Keats is the best Chinese school in China. Therefore, I would highly recommend Keats to all of you.

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.

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.

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.
