Starting at the end of summer harvest, the festival lasts for about two months till the arrival of autumn. It is considered as “the longest carnival in the world”. The annual festival consists of collective activities […]
The Hezhe nationality mainly lives in Heilongjiang Province. The Hezhe people speak Hezhe, a language with no written form, which belongs to the Altaic language family. According to the historical record, the Hezhe minority may date back to more than 6,000 years ago, when it was called “Sushen” in the pre-Qin period, “Heishui” in the […]

People had other ways of choosing a wedding day. For example, in the old times, people preferred to hold weddings in the spring. There are explanations for this in “Comprehensive Discussion in the White Tiger Hall” (complied in the 1st century), “spring is the time for plants to grow and for animals and humans to […]
There seems to have been more taboos about the year of a wedding than about the auspicious days. In the Chinese lunar calendar, the 1st day of spring may fall before or after the Spring Festival. If the 1st day of spring is before the Spring Festival of a year and the next first day […]
Even after the wedding day had been chosen, it might still undergo unexpected changes. For example, if a family member died during the engagement period. The wedding would be postponed. One reason was to show respect for the dead; the other was to avoid being affected by this unlucky event. There were occasions when the […]
As to the origin of “méi pó”, a Chinese term for matchmakers, there is a popular folktale in Shaanxi Province. Long time ago, people from the two banks of the Wei River seldom communicated with each other, lat alone forming marriage alliances. One year, a young man coming from the north of the Wei River […]
A matchmaker is important in three ways. Firstly, as Confucianism gradually attained a dominant position in social ideology, people began to impose heavy instructions on the contacts between unmarried men and women. Since parents wished to arrange their children’s marriages based on comparable conditions in social status, physical appearance and betrothal gifts/dowry, a matchmaker would […]
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.
Na Keatsu sem študiral dva semestra. Zelo priporočam šolo Keats. Če vas zelo zanima tečaj mandarinščine na Kitajskem, vam predlagam, da pridete v Kunming. Prebivalci Kunminga so zelo prijazni. Vreme v Kunmingu je odlično. Zato vam priporočam, da se učite kitajščine na Keatsu v Kunmingu.
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.
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.
To je bilo opazno, ker sem spoznal veliko ljudi, ki sem jih prvič srečal lani, da so se letos vrnili v Keats. Poučevanje je bilo fantastično. Učitelji skrbno pripravijo vsako lekcijo. Mislim, da je ta individualni pristop res odličen način za hitro izboljšanje vaše ravni kitajščine ter povečanje vaše samozavesti in tekočega znanja jezika.
Prvi semester sem študiral na drugi šoli in tam je bil pritisk precej velik, ure v razredu so bile dolge, domače naloge pa precej dolgočasne. Odkar sem prišel na Keats, sem ugotovil, da imam veliko več priložnosti za govorjenje v razredu. Vsi moji sošolci tekoče govorijo in radi govorijo ter sodelujejo v razredu. Imamo odlično dinamiko v razredu.
Moje ime je Sarah Fish. Stara sem 81 let. Ko sem prispela, sem znala zelo malo kitajščine. Kako naj bi preživela dva tedna intenzivnega tečaja kitajščine? Zdaj se moram smejati, ko pomislim na to. Kakšna pozitivna izkušnja je bila to! Resnično si želim, da bi lahko bili tukaj še malo dlje. Učitelji so izjemno spodbudni, najprej ocenijo, koliko nekdo zna, in nato začnejo od tam naprej.
