At that time, the emperors would call on meetings under a flag and the participants would stand around the flag listening to orders. For this […]
China is not the hometown of lions. In the Han Dynasty, Parthia (present Iran) gave some lions to China as presents.

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.
Resnično uživam v učenju kitajščine v Kunmingu na Keatsu. Učitelji so odlični in moji sošolci so čudoviti. To je bila nepozabna izkušnja zame. Imel sem tudi priložnost potovati v druge kraje v Yunnanu. Ti kraji so neverjetni in vsekakor jih morate obiskati, ko se boste učili kitajščine na Kitajskem na Keatsu.
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.
Vsi učitelji so res prijazni. Raven poučevanja na Keatsu je veliko višja. Mesto mi je res všeč. Zelo udobno se je premikati po njem. Keats toplo priporočam. To je odličen kraj za učenje kitajščine na Kitajskem. Veselimo se, da se bomo letos spet vrnili.
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.
Ne morem vam povedati, kako zelo mi je bilo všeč. Kar mi je bilo všeč pri učiteljih in metodi poučevanja, je bila velika prilagodljivost. Druga stvar, ki mi je bila všeč pri poučevanju, je bila kombinacija klasičnega učenja iz učbenikov in gibanja na prostem. Bilo mi je zelo všeč! Rad spoznavam druge učence. Vsi imajo isti cilj, in sicer izboljšati svojo kitajščino. Kunming je veliko mesto, vendar je tukaj zelo varno živeti. Druga stvar, ki mi je bila všeč pri Keatsu, je ideja, da ti ljudje tukaj pomagajo. Ne morem ga dovolj priporočiti. Mislim, da je bila to dragocena izkušnja. Veselim se vrnitve!
Moja šola je neverjetna. Priporočam šolo Keats, ker je to bolj priročen način za učenje kitajščine v Kunmingu.
Obiskoval/a sem individualni intenzivni tečaj kitajščine, ki je trajal 6 ur na dan. Pouk je zelo zanimiv. Učitelji so skrbni in vsebina, ki me uči, je primerna za mojo raven. To je preprost način za učenje mandarinščine. Veliko časa imam za vadbo kitajščine v razredu. Hrana je tukaj odlična. S tem programom v Keatsu sem izboljšal/a svojo kitajščino.
