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 […]

Za učenje slovnice in novih besed uporabljamo veliko iger. Imamo res dobre učitelje, zelo potrpežljive. Zelo nam pomaga. Naš razred je res prijeten in imamo ljudi z vsega sveta, iz različnih držav. V razredu pogosto razpravljamo o temah v kitajščini. Živim v študentskem domu Keats. To je zelo priročno. Ni mi treba porabiti časa za potovanja. Lahko se samo osredotočiš na učenje kitajščine.
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.
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.
Kunmingova pokrajina je zelo lepa. To je najboljše mesto za učenje kitajščine na Kitajskem. Moja najljubša metoda učenja na šoli Keats je individualno, ker je primerna za vsakogar. Moj učitelj je zelo dober, zelo skrben in prijazen. Moje življenje med učenjem kitajščine v Kunmingu je zelo dobro, vreme pa je zelo lepo. Zrak je zelo dober. Dobro je za telo starejših.
V Kunming prihajam, ker se mi zdi okolje v Kunmingu boljše, in slišal sem, da je tudi šola Keats boljša. Všeč mi je tečaj kitajščine v majhnih skupinah, ker se moji sošolci pridno učijo in so naši učitelji zelo dobri. Všeč mi je metoda poučevanja Keatsa, ker so mi všeč dejavnosti v Keatsu. Mislim, da je Yunnan še posebej lepa kitajska provinca.
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.
Vsi moji učitelji so odlični. Učitelje so usposobili zelo profesionalno. Z učiteljem se zelo hitro učim. Zelo resno jemljejo svoje učence in vem, da je vsak učitelj tak. Če iščete najboljšo kitajsko šolo na Kitajskem, vam toplo priporočam obisk Keatsa.
Mislim, da je kitajsko učno okolje tukaj odlično. Metode poučevanja so tudi zelo interaktivne in zabavne. Kar mi je tukaj še posebej všeč, je dejstvo, da se moj učitelj ne drži učbenika. Veliko časa porabimo za razprave o splošnih temah, kot so kitajska kultura, svetovne novice, tipični izrazi, ki jih uporabljajo domačini. Pogovarjamo se tudi o družbenih in gospodarskih temah.
