Najboljši del šole je potrpežljivost inštruktorjev in čas, ki so si ga vzeli za osredotočenje na osnove, kot je izgovorjava. Mislim, da je zelo enostavno preskočiti te stvari in se posvetiti besedišču. Ampak z učenjem izgovorjave imam občutek, da mi je to pomagalo bolje razumeti jezik.
Vloga za vizum je bila res enostavna, saj nam pri tem zelo pomaga šola Keats. Keats daje velik poudarek na pogovorni praksi, zato se naučimo veliko besedišča in načrtov za vsakdanje življenje, kar nam je zelo priročno za potovanje po mestu in pogovor s Kitajci, kar je ves smisel učenja kitajščine na Kitajskem.
Lani sem začel študirati kitajščino na univerzi. Razlog, da sem prišel sem, je ta, da se trenutno pripravljam na test HSK 5. Slišal sem tudi, da je to ena najboljših šol za učenje mandarinščine na Kitajskem. Po prihodu sem spoznal, da je Kunming precej kul mesto za življenje, in kar zadeva metode poučevanja učiteljev, se mi zdijo zelo profesionalni. Mislim tudi, da je jezikovno okolje dobro, zato sem zdaj pripravljen na test HSK 5.
Preden sem prišel na šolo Keats, nisem bil prepričan v svoje znanje kitajščine. Nisem imel dovolj samozavesti, da bi govoril mandarinščino in se pogovarjal s Kitajci. Vendar pa po štirih mesecih študija na šoli Keats postajam vedno bolj samozavesten v govorjenju kitajščine. Učenje kitajščine na Kitajskem na šoli Keats je bila najboljša odločitev, kar sem jih kdaj sprejel. V razredu je veliko iger, metode poučevanja mojega učitelja pa so zelo zanimive. Moje izkušnje na šoli Keats so spremenile moj pogled na Kitajsko in Kitajce.
Torej si v prvem tednu na Keatsu nisem upal spregovoriti niti ene kitajske besede. Ugotovil sem, da se je moja raven kitajščine od takrat hitro izboljšala. Čeprav imam na Kitajskem veliko možnosti za študij, na primer nekatere druge šole ponujajo bivanje pri družinah, sem ugotovil, da se lahko poglobim v učenje kitajščine, če bivam na Keatsu.
Prvi semester sem študiral na drugi šoli in tam je bil pritisk precej velik, ure v razredu so bile dolge, domače naloge pa precej dolgočasne. Odkar sem prišel na Keats, sem ugotovil, da imam veliko več priložnosti za govorjenje v razredu. Vsi moji sošolci tekoče govorijo in radi govorijo ter sodelujejo v razredu. Imamo odlično dinamiko v razredu.
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.
Na Keatsu sem študiral dva semestra. Zelo priporočam šolo Keats. Če vas zelo zanima tečaj mandarinščine na Kitajskem, vam predlagam, da pridete v Kunming. Prebivalci Kunminga so zelo prijazni. Vreme v Kunmingu je odlično. Zato vam priporočam, da se učite kitajščine na Keatsu v Kunmingu.
