Našla sem šolo Keats in zelo sem vesela, da sem to storila. Ko se v šoli Keats učiš kitajščine na Kitajskem, je zate popolnoma poskrbljeno. Moj učitelj je res odličen in postaneva čudovita prijatelja.
Mislim, da je Kunming odlično mesto, vreme je res lepo. Šola Keats mi je zelo všeč in se mi zdi zelo organizirana. Učitelji tukaj so zelo dobri. Imajo kavarno in nove učilnice, zdaj je tu tudi nov prostor za druženje, tako da se lahko sprostite s prijatelji in vadite govorjeno kitajščino z domačini. Če razmišljate o študiju v Keatsu, vam ga res priporočam. To je najboljše mesto za učenje mandarinščine in mislim, da bo to za vas odlična izkušnja.
Resnično uživam v obiskovanju tega kraja, ker je zame kot nekakšen dom. To je odlično okolje za učenje mandarinščine na Kitajskem in srečanje s čudovitimi ljudmi z vsega sveta. Vsi tukaj so izjemno prijazni. Kunming ima res lepo podnebje. Je zelo dobra mešanica sodobnega mesta in tudi veliko zgodovinske kitajske kulture. Verjetno ima najčistejši zrak na Kitajskem in morda tudi najčistejšo vodo. Vabim vas, da pridete učit kitajščino v Kunming.
Ta kraj mi je res všeč, ker imamo zasebne ure mandarinščine. Obiskovala sem 6-urni program, 4 ure zjutraj in 2 popoldne. Čeprav je to precej veliko, je pouk brezplačen. To je zelo koristno, saj sem lahko ponovila, kaj sem počela prej, in se naučila novih stvari. Moja dva učitelja sta fantastična. Živimo v šoli, zato je priročno. Zame je zanimivo spoznavati ljudi z vsega sveta.
V Keatsu sem se imel čudovito. Presenečen sem, koliko sem se naučil v zadnjih treh tednih, in res mi bo žal, ko bom odšel. Že načrtujemo naše naslednje potovanje, da se vrnemo, saj smo se tukaj imeli tako fantastično. Tečaj kitajščine resnično prilagodijo tebi in tvojim individualnim potrebam.
Tukaj sem se imel res odlično. Veliko sem se učil s svojim učiteljem, ki je bil fantastičen. Šola Keats se je zelo potrudila, da je svojim učencem zagotovila res dobre učitelje, katerih osebnost se odlično ujema. Resnično uživam v učenju kitajščine na Keatsu in se bom zagotovo vrnil.
Učitelji na Keatsu znajo brati učence in jim pomagati, da se z lahkoto naučijo kitajščine. Poznajo raven učencev. Sam se učim počasi, vendar so se uspeli prilagoditi mojemu učenju. Pouk so naredili zelo zabaven in zelo razburljiv. Vesel sem, da sem se ne le naučil kulture in jezika, ampak sem si tudi pridobil čudovite prijatelje, resnično neverjetne, kitajske prijatelje, evropske prijatelje in ameriške prijatelje z vsega sveta.
Ena stvar, ki mi je bila res všeč, je bila, da sem lahko sodelovala z učiteljem/učiteljico pri pripravi individualnega učnega načrta. Druga res lepa stvar je, da živiš v šoli, kjer se počutiš popolnoma varno. Vedno imaš skupino ljudi, ki so pripravljeni početi stvari s tabo ob vikendih ali zvečer. Postrežejo ti vse 3 obroke na dan, hrana je bila odlična.
