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.
Torej si v prvem tednu na Keatsu nisem upal spregovoriti niti ene kitajske besede. Ugotovil sem, da se je moja raven kitajščine od takrat hitro izboljšala. Čeprav imam na Kitajskem veliko možnosti za študij, na primer nekatere druge šole ponujajo bivanje pri družinah, sem ugotovil, da se lahko poglobim v učenje kitajščine, če bivam na Keatsu.
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.
V intenzivnem individualnem tečaju kitajščine lahko izberete metodo učenja, ki vam je všeč. Tečaj kitajščine v majhnih skupinah na Kitajskem v Keatsu poteka po učbeniku HSK. Učitelji pogosto zbirajo povratne informacije od učencev, poslušajo naše zahteve in mnenja. Občutek imam, da je moja ustna raven boljša kot prej.
Lani sem začel študirati kitajščino na univerzi. Razlog, da sem prišel sem, je ta, da se trenutno pripravljam na test HSK 5. Slišal sem tudi, da je to ena najboljših šol za učenje mandarinščine na Kitajskem. Po prihodu sem spoznal, da je Kunming precej kul mesto za življenje, in kar zadeva metode poučevanja učiteljev, se mi zdijo zelo profesionalni. Mislim tudi, da je jezikovno okolje dobro, zato sem zdaj pripravljen na test HSK 5.
Mislim, da je Keats ena najboljših jezikovnih šol, v katerih sem kdaj bila. Moja učiteljica je neverjetna oseba. Zelo dobro poučuje. Pouk naredi zabavnega. Med bivanjem tukaj sem se naučila veliko besedišča. Resnično priporočam, da se učite mandarinščine v šoli Keats.
Ena stvar, ki mi je bila res všeč, je bila, da sem lahko sodelovala z učiteljem/učiteljico pri pripravi individualnega učnega načrta. Druga res lepa stvar je, da živiš v šoli, kjer se počutiš popolnoma varno. Vedno imaš skupino ljudi, ki so pripravljeni početi stvari s tabo ob vikendih ali zvečer. Postrežejo ti vse 3 obroke na dan, hrana je bila odlična.
Vsi moji sošolci ostanejo skupaj eno leto in zelo smo se izboljšali! Učitelji na Keatsu so vsi zelo super. Radi organizirajo veliko dejavnosti, ki nam pomagajo pri učenju kitajščine. Všeč mi je Keats! Všeč mi je Kunming!
