In Chinese, face refers to 2 separate but related concepts in social relations. One is Mianzi and the other is Lian, which are commonly used in everyday speech. Lian is the confidence of society in a person’s moral character, while mianzi represents social perceptions of a person’s prestige. “Losing one’s Lian” means your behavior violates […]
Chinese people are noted for their discerning eating habits. Prior to the 1980s, straitened financial circumstances prevented access of the majority to their epicurean heritage, but an improved diet was of primary importance for opening up and reform. The problem of “feeding the stomach” was, therefore, resolved 20 years ago. There is more concern now […]
Lao Zi, a thinker during the late Spring and Autumn Period, had a famous saying: “Pretending not to know when you know, how superb.” He meant that it was superb tactics to pretend not to know when one in fact knows. Chinese people follow an important rule in handling complex personal relations: be intelligent about […]

Za učenje kitajščine v Kunmingu sem se odločil, ker imam rad manjša mesta in ker mi je tukajšnje podnebje všeč. Tukaj smo se učili štiri ure na dan in moja draga učiteljica me je veliko naučila in ni nikoli izgubila potrpljenja z mano. Bilo je res čudovito doživetje in vsem, ki se radi učijo kitajščine na Kitajskem, priporočam šolo Keats in tukajšnje učitelje.
Kar zadeva učenje kitajščine tukaj, menim, da so bivalni pogoji zelo ugodni, saj je študentski dom zelo blizu učilnice. Naši učitelji resnično uživajo v poučevanju kitajščine. So tudi zelo strastni. V primerjavi z drugimi mesti na Kitajskem ima Kunming res lepo vreme.
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.
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.
Resnično jih zanima, kaj nas zanima, kakšna vprašanja imamo, kakšne zahteve imamo. Nato prilagodijo vsebino našega programa kitajščine glede na situacijo. En učitelj in en učenec, tako da je enostavno ostati osredotočen med 6 urami poglobljenega pouka mandarinščine. Zelo priročno je učiti se, živeti in jesti v eni stavbi.
Res sem užival v tečaju kitajščine na Kitajskem v Keatsu in v srečanju z učitelji tukaj in učenci. V razredu se zelo zabavamo. To je res odlična šola za učenje z dobrimi metodami poučevanja in res dobrim učbenikom, primeri in igrami ter vsem.
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.
Na Keatsu je zelo udobno študirati. Učitelji so zelo prijazni. Vabim vas, da pridete študirati kitajščino na Kitajsko na Keats.
