Talking about the Chinese Han People’s surname in ancient China, one should note the difference between “xing” and “shi”.

V Keatsu imam veliko priložnosti za vadbo naučenega. Ta šola mi je zelo všeč, ker se lahko kitajščine učim individualno, zato mislim, da je to najboljši program poglobljenega učenja na Kitajskem in moj učitelj je najboljši učitelj. Mislim, da se brez mojega učitelja moja kitajščina zagotovo ne bo toliko izboljšala. Zelo sem vesel, ker sem v Keatsu svojo kitajščino znatno izboljšal.
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.
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.
Šolo Keats sem se do zdaj učil kitajščine že štirikrat. Razlog za vrnitev v to šolo je v veliki meri ta, da so bili učitelji, s katerimi sem delal, zelo dobri učitelji kitajščine. Načrtujem vrnitev v to šolo za 5 ali celo 10 let. Vsi učitelji imajo metode za ocenjevanje vaših znanj in spretnosti. Vedo, na kateri ravni ste. Mislim, da se splača za vsakogar.
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.
To je moj drugi obisk. Lani sem bil prav tako približno 12 tednov. Tokrat sem prišel na 13 tednov poletnega programa na Kitajskem. Razlog, zakaj si še posebej želim priti v to šolo, so individualni tečaji. Tako sem lahko izboljšal svojo raven in se kitajsko naučil hitreje kot v skupinskih tečajih. Če bom imel prihodnje leto spet priložnost priti, bom zagotovo prišel.
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.
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.
