Chinese people like to eat together; this tradition can be traced a long time ago. It reflects the Chinese notion of union versus division—round tables, round dishes, and round bowls all symbolize union and perfection. Dishes are usually placed at the center of the table so that everyone around the table can share them. A […]

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.
To je bilo opazno, ker sem spoznal veliko ljudi, ki sem jih prvič srečal lani, da so se letos vrnili v Keats. Poučevanje je bilo fantastično. Učitelji skrbno pripravijo vsako lekcijo. Mislim, da je ta individualni pristop res odličen način za hitro izboljšanje vaše ravni kitajščine ter povečanje vaše samozavesti in tekočega znanja jezika.
Kunming je odličen kraj za učenje kitajščine na Kitajskem, saj na ulici ne govori veliko Kitajcev angleško. Keats je bila odlična šola zame in veliko drugih tujcev, ki so študirali na Kitajskem, mi jo je priporočilo. Mislim, da so vsi v redu. Metoda učenja tukaj je res strukturirana. Učenje kitajščine je zaradi njih zelo enostavno. Prav tako je veliko kulturnih in naravnih krajev za obisk.
Ni pomembno, kakšno raven kitajščine imate, lahko začnete celo od ničelne ravni. Vaš učitelj bo pripravil lekcije glede na vaše zahteve. Prednost bivanja v šoli je, da boste imeli svoje inštrukcije, zasebno nastanitev z lastno kopalnico in vse obroke. Vsem toplo priporočam, da dejansko izkoristijo celoten paket, saj boste lahko spoznali druge učence.
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.
Že en mesec sem na šoli Keats v Kunmingu, kjer poučujem kitajščino ena na ena z dvema različnima učiteljema. Resnično uživam. Oba učitelja sta zelo prijazna in potrpežljiva. Resnično sta mi pomagala izboljšati kitajščino, tako pri branju kot pri govorjenju. Zelo uživam tudi v učenju kitajščine v Kunmingu. To mesto je res lepo, vreme je lepo, zrak čist. Je eno najboljših mest na Kitajskem za učenje kitajščine.
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 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.
