Jeg kan ikke si hvor mye jeg likte det. Det jeg likte med lærerne og undervisningsmetoden er at det er så mye fleksibilitet. En annen ting jeg likte med undervisningen er kombinasjonen av klassisk læreboklæring og å være utendørs. Jeg elsket det! Jeg liker å bli kjent med andre studenter. Alle delte det samme målet, og det er å gjøre kinesisken deres bedre. Kunming er en stor by, men det er veldig trygt å bo her. En annen ting jeg likte med Keats er ideen om at folk her hjelper deg. Jeg kan ikke anbefale det nok. Jeg synes det var en verdifull opplevelse. Gleder meg til å komme tilbake!
Siden forrige semester begynte vi å studere kinesisk ved Keats. Det var det beste valget vi noen gang kunne ta. Det er en veldig god skole. Timene er veldig morsomme, du lærer mye, men veldig interaktive, så du snakker mye, noe som betyr at det ikke bare er bøker og skriving. Kunming er en veldig hyggelig by å bo i, spesielt hvis du sammenligner den med andre byer i øst. Hvis du liker å reise, hvis du liker å studere kinesisk på en morsom måte, har Keats det beste kinesiske språkprogrammet for deg.
Alle lærerne er virkelig hyggelige. Undervisningsnivået på Keats er så mye høyere. Jeg elsker virkelig byen. Det er veldig behagelig å komme seg rundt. Jeg anbefaler Keats på det sterkeste. Det er et flott sted å studere kinesisk i Kina. Vi gleder oss til å komme tilbake igjen senere i år.
De bryr seg virkelig om hva interessene våre er, hvilke spørsmål vi har og hvilke krav vi har. Så justerer de innholdet i det kinesiske språkprogrammet vårt etter situasjonen. Én lærer og én elev, så det er enkelt å holde fokuset i løpet av de 6 timene med mandarin-undervisning. Det er veldig praktisk å studere, bo og spise i én bygning.
Jeg liker meg veldig godt på dette stedet fordi vi har privatundervisning i mandarin. Jeg tok 6-timersprogrammet, 4 timer om morgenen og 2 timer om ettermiddagen. Selv om det er ganske mye, er undervisningen gratis. Dette er veldig nyttig fordi jeg kan repetere det jeg har gjort før og lære nye ting. De to lærerne mine er fantastiske. Vi bor på skolen, så det er praktisk. Det er interessant for meg å møte mennesker fra hele verden.
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.
Jeg har studert ved Keats i to semestre. Jeg anbefaler Keats School på det sterkeste. Hvis du er veldig interessert i å ta et mandarinkurs i Kina, vil jeg foreslå at du kommer til Kunming. Folket i Kunming er veldig vennlige. Været i Kunming er flott. Så jeg anbefaler at du studerer kinesisk ved Keats i Kunming.
Så i løpet av den første uken min på Keats turte jeg ikke å snakke noen kinesiske ord. Jeg fant ut at kinesisknivået mitt raskt hadde blitt bedre siden den gang. Selv om jeg har mange muligheter til å studere i Kina, for eksempel tilbyr noen andre skoler vertsfamilier, fant jeg ut at jeg kunne fordype meg og fokusere fullt ut på å lære kinesisk ved å bo på Keats.
