Bildungsurlaub - German Educational Leave

Great introduction into Chinese culture and the Chinese Language. My favorite thing was the attentiveness of the teacher, the small group class, and the fitness studio on the campus.

I had been doing Duolingo for over 1 year, and still started as a total beginner. I had a decent vocabulary, but my teacher really helped focus on my weaknesses (which was pronunciation).

I’m sure there are cheaper schools to go to, but Keats school offers many things for westerners to get acclimated. They have also curated a nice learning atmosphere of curriculum and culture.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Getting up an reading in front of the class in Chinese was really scary at first. But great practice for real life communication.

my experience in Keats

Hii my name is Lisa and I decided to take the Keats language program this year which was the best experience of my whole life. Referring to the classes my teacher Su laoshi was the best. Her teaching strategies and skills were awesome and helped me a lot by improving my language learning process. She was super super kind and so wholesome and helpful every lesson. I have never had a teacher before which taught me a language this good in this short term period. I'm so glad she got to be my teacher and I would love to have classes with her again!!! Thank you so much Su laoshi!!!
I don't have any bad criticisms about this school I can only say everything was literally perfect the people auntis, advisor, teachers everyone is sooo welcoming and friendly it just feels like a tamily when you stay there .
They help you with everything right away considering any type of question!
Claire is such a warm hearted person and became my friend during the stay I really will miss you claire you are the best advisor and became my friend during the stay I really will miss you claire you are the best advisor and friend I could've ever imagined to have .I will forever keep the experience in Keats in my heart, this 4 weeks changed my life for the best and I consider myself coming back again!

Keats school is a good Chinese study school

I think Keats School is an excellent Chinese language school in China. Everything here is great. The school has a lovely environment and fantastic teaching quality.
The teachers are wonderful and patient. My teacher is Ms. Jiang. She is diligent, kind and very patient. She has helped me a lot with my Chinese studies. I feel my Chinese has improved greatly since I started studying here. I am satisfied with everything. I also like Kunming very much.
The classes are lively and well-planned. Teacher always makes Chinese lessons interesting and easy to understand. She encourages me to speak more and never gets upset when I make mistakes. I really enjoy my time at Keats School. I would highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn Chinese well.

Would recommend

I really enjoyed my time at Keats in Kunming. I’ve studied at other language schools before, so I had some idea of what to expect, but Keats genuinely took me by surprise in the best way.

The teachers were incredibly helpful and made me feel very comfortable from the beginning. I learned a lot during my time here, but it never felt overly stressful or intimidating. I felt very much at ease in class, which made it easier to speak, make mistakes, and actually improve my Chinese.

I also really liked the community at Keats. I met lovely people, had a lot of good laughs, and the whole atmosphere felt friendly and welcoming. The food was good too, which was definitely a bonus

I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a Chinese language school in Kunming

What was your funniest moment?
One of the funniest moments was going to a Chinese bar with everyone, having a really good laugh, and then ending the night at karaoke singing together. It was such a fun and memorable evening.
Pros
  • Good community
  • Learning to speak Chinese
  • Supportive environment

Keats: fantastic experience

My experience at Keats is fantastic! There are a lot of lovely people: teachers and classmates. Teacher Jiang is professionale, funny and she help us with everything! The school is beautiful, the room very clean. The food served in the canteen is good. You feel always like at home! The center of Kunming is at 10 minute a on foot and it's very beautiful! Keats is the best choice for studying Chinese. I arrived without knowing any Chinese and far from home, and now I’m leaving having made many friends, found a place that feels like home, and learned to speak Chinese. I hope to find the time to come back here!

My personal experience in Keats Chengdu

I came to Chengdu to study Chinese for two weeks. My experience was shaped by my teacher. She was understanding, patient, and attentive. She cared not only about my language progress but also about my comfort in the city, helping with logistics beyond her duty. She made class enjoyable and helped me understand difficult basic concepts. She checked my homework and guided me to correct mistakes. I would highlight three points: teachers, cooks, and cozy atmosphere. The food was incredible; the cooks were exceptional, so I did not need to eat outside. Hygiene was excellent. The academy was not overcrowded. There were cultural activities, and the environment was calm, friendly, and cheerful. Other teachers talked with students during meals, encouraging us to practice Chinese. Overall very good. If I return, it will be because of my very good teacher and the excellent cooks.

What would you improve about this program?
I will like to have more uptions for even more intensive learning experience.

STUDY IN BEIJING

Questo viaggio di studio a Pechino è stato ricco di piacevoli sorprese! Partecipare al programma mi ha permesso non solo di imparare il cinese, ma anche di immergermi nella cultura cinese, così ricca e variegata.

Gli insegnanti di cinese sono stati pazienti e premurosi: non si sono limitati a insegnarci la lingua, ma si sono presi cura con attenzione anche delle nostre esigenze quotidiane. L'itinerario è stato pianificato meticolosamente, con un'organizzazione impeccabile di pasti, trasporti e visite turistiche. Le lezioni si sono concentrate sul cinese parlato pratico, aiutandoci a migliorare gradualmente le nostre abilità di ascolto e conversazione. Oltre alle lezioni di lingua, il programma ha offerto svariati laboratori culturali che ci hanno permesso di cimentarci nell'artigianato tradizionale, andando ben oltre la monotonia dello studio sui libri di testo. Preparare i ravioli è stata l'attività che ho preferito: abbiamo collaborato tutti alla loro realizzazione per poi gustare il frutto del nostro lavoro una volta cotti.

Le escursioni con i miei compagni di corso mi hanno lasciato un ricordo indelebile. Abbiamo messo in pratica il cinese appena appreso visitando i celebri luoghi storici di Pechino. L'intero viaggio è trascorso in un'atmosfera rilassata e piacevole, offrendoci l'opportunità di ammirare i paesaggi dell'antica capitale e di vivere in prima persona l'autentica cultura cinese.

studio beijing

Ho partecipato a un campo estivo di cinese della durata di dieci giorni a Pechino. Il programma delle lezioni è ben organizzato e ho imparato molte espressioni quotidiane in cinese. Gli insegnanti ci hanno accompagnato per tutto il periodo, sono gentili e divertenti e ci hanno aiutato a praticare la lingua nella vita reale. L'alloggio è vicino alla scuola e l'atmosfera è confortevole. Nel laboratorio artigianale ho realizzato un martello da massaggio della medicina tradizionale cinese, che mi aiuta ad alleviare la stanchezza e mi ha permesso di conoscere la cultura della MTC. Poter parlare e contrattare con la gente del posto in cinese è un'esperienza unica. Spero di tornare a Pechino e visitare altre città della Cina.
