Learn Chinese in China with Keats School

Go Back

What Keats Students Did on National Holidays!

October 1 is Chinese National Day and it is called the Golden Week, because there are 7 days off. Chinese people will take this chance to go traveling. It is also a good chance for Keats School’s students to explore Chinese culture and scenery. They made plans before the holidays. This week all students resumed taking lessons at the school, and they were very excited to share their experience with the teachers and classmates.

During the Golden Week, Strawberry Music Festival 2014 was held in Dali. Several students went to this festival. One student who is from Israel said “I like music, especially the live music. So I won’t miss this music feast. Actually there are many music festivals in Kunming held each year. Many famous bands, some even were foreign bands preformed in Yunnan. I knew many good bands through these festivals.” He strongly recommended everyone to take advantage of these activities.

Many students chose to travel during the holidays. Some went to Chongqing – one of the hottest cities in China. Some went to Guilin and Yangshuo – impressive landscape. A student traveled to Jianshui – an ancient town which is famous for the largest Confucius temple in China.

Some students took the train while some took the plane. A German student told us it was the first time he took a train in China. He had an interesting trip and made a lot of new Chinese friends along the road. An American couple went to Xishuangbanna. The reason they traveled there was that they would like to know more about the unique minority – Dai people, and to try very delicious Dai flavored food. They had many wonderful experiences, such as visiting plant kingdom, talking with locals, and riding the elephant. They told us, the happiest thing for them this time was they were speaking Chinese all the way. They booked the hotels, ordered foods, asked directions, and so on in Chinese. It was a really good opportunity for them to practice Chinese in a real situation, and also they could find the weakness of their Chinese, so when they returned, they could practice more.

Around half Keats students stayed in Kunming during the Golden Week. Many of them still went to school for self study because they like Keats’ environment very much. There is wifi, free tea and a teacher available who can answer their study questions. They took this chance to review all things they had learned before.  Although they didn’t go for a trip, they learned and practiced a lot.

All students shared their unforgettable experience and looked forward to future Chinese holidays as well.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

I think Keats is one of the best language schools I have ever been to. My teacher is such an amazing person. She is so good at teaching. She makes classes fun. I have learned a lot of vocabulary during my time here. I would really recommend coming to learn Mandarin Chinese at Keats School.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

I have been to Keats School to learn Chinese for 4 times now. The reason for coming back to this school is pretty much that the teachers I did work with were very good Chinese teachers. I make it a 5-year plan or even a 10-year plan to come back to this school.  All the teachers have methods of looking at what your skills are. They are aware of at what level you are. I think it is worth for everyone.

It doesn’t matter what level of Chinese you have, or even you can start from the zero level. Your teacher will prepare the lessons according to your requirements. The advantage of living in the school is that you will have your tutoring, you will have your private accommodation with your own bathroom and all the meals provided. I highly recommend everybody to actually take the whole package because you get to meet other students.

HSK Test Preparation Course

Last year I started studying Chinese at University. The reason that I came here is that currently, I’m preparing for the HSK 5 test. Also, I heard that this is one of the best schools to study Mandarin in China. After I came here I realized that Kunming is a pretty cool city to live in and with regards to the teachers’ teaching methods, I think they’re very professional. And I think the language environment is good so now I’m ready to take the HSK 5.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

I have 2 teachers, and I do 4 hours a day. So I have got Dong Laoshi and Jin Laoshi. Both of them are very good. They made the experience very nice to me. They are willing to help you whenever, so if you ever have a question here, the teachers are always there to help you whether it is visas, whether it is getting around the city. Everyone wants to talk to you.

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

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.

Judith | USA

Intensive One-on-One Chinese Classes

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.
