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 […]

Moram reči, da je zelo zabavno. Tukaj sem že dva tedna. Ker nisem vedel, kako bo, sem bil več kot presenečen, kako super je. Učitelji so odlični, razumevajoči. Imajo program kitajščine, ki ustreza ravno tebi. Lokacija je idealna za učenje kitajščine na Kitajskem.
Od prejšnjega semestra smo začeli študirati kitajščino na Keatsu. To je bila najboljša odločitev, kar smo jih kdajkoli sprejeli. Je res dobra šola. Pouk je zelo zabaven, veliko se naučiš, a je zelo interaktiven, zato se veliko pogovarjaš, kar pomeni, da ne gre samo za knjige in pisanje. Kunming je res prijetno mesto za življenje, še posebej, če ga primerjamo z drugimi mesti na vzhodu. Če radi potujete, če se radi učite kitajščine na zabaven način, ima Keats najboljši program kitajskega jezika za vas.
Imam dva učitelja in delam 4 ure na dan. Torej imam Dong Laoshija in Jin Laoshija. Oba sta zelo dobra. Zaradi njiju je bila izkušnja zame zelo prijetna. Pripravljena sta ti pomagati kadar koli, zato če imaš kdaj vprašanje, so učitelji vedno na voljo, da ti pomagajo, pa naj gre za vizume ali za prevoz po mestu. Vsi se želijo pogovoriti s tabo.
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.
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.
Zelo priročno je priti v Kunming iz Tajske. Zelo mi je všeč tečaj kitajščine in moja kitajščina se je v nekaj mesecih zelo izboljšala. Učenje kitajščine ima veliko prednosti. Najboljše, kar mi je všeč pri Keatsu, je to, da je v Kunmingu, mestu večne pomladi. V Kunmingu je toliko za videti in to mesto boste vzljubili, ko boste prišli tja.
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.
Moja šola je neverjetna. Priporočam šolo Keats, ker je to bolj priročen način za učenje kitajščine v Kunmingu.
