Keats school top

At Keats school in Kunming learning is carried on in a very well organized structure, teachers are very skilled, environment very amicable and helpful and highly professional. The city is beautiful and clean and well served by public transport services. Furthermore the school is very near to city center. I underline that Chinese people very polite and available. Bank and hospital are in sight of school building, so are metro stations. Good library/bookshops in Chinese style (mix of library/bookshop/cafeteria) nearby.

What was your funniest moment?
Every chinese lesson at Keats school could be funny and definitely is highly effective. Teachers are exceptionally skilled and well adressed to maximize study proficency. Organization is perfect and personnel is always available to solve logistic and question. I’d like to cite opration director willow and teacher Ma Rui for endless efforts respectively in managing strutture and putting great skills in teaching.
Pros
  • Verry skiled teachers, i must mention teacher Ma Rui for hard working and exceptional skills in teaching
  • Very good organization. Willow is very skilled and always available to fulfill students needs
  • Very good food
Cons
  • None

Il mio studio a Chengdu

Il viaggio a Chengdu è stato bellissimo, ho visitato moltissimi luoghi interessanti e mangiato cibi molto tipici.

Il luogo migliore è stato per me People's Park, dove ho potuto camminare tra i giardini fioriti di crisantemi e osservare i bonsai bevendo thè caldo.

Il corso della scuola di cinese è stato istruttivo e ho imparato nuovi caratteri e frasi grazie agli insegnamenti della professoressa, che è stata molto gentile e disponibile nei nostri confronti.

Consiglio questo viaggio a tutti e spero di poter vivere esperienze simili in futuro!

English:
The trip to Chengdu was wonderful; I visited so many interesting places and ate some very traditional food.

The highlight for me was People's Park, where I could walk among the blooming chrysanthemum gardens and admire the bonsai trees while drinking hot tea.

The Chinese language school course was instructive, and I learned new characters and phrases thanks to the teacher, who was very kind and helpful.

I recommend this trip to everyone and hope to have similar experiences in the future!

LA MIA ESPERIENZA A CHENGDU

È stata un esperienza inaspettata per me. Mi sono trovata benissimo con il mangiare nonostante non sia abituata a mangiare così speziato. Abbiamo conosciuto tutte persone gentili con noi. Ci hanno fatto vedere, nonostante il poco tempo, le cose più tipiche di Chengdu(museo, spettacolo teatrale, street food, la riserva naturale dei panda…). La mia insegnante di corso Kiki é stata molto carina con noi, e ci ha insegnato moltissime cose. L’unico problema è stata la lingua ma alla fine sono venuta qui ad imparare e sicuramente mi è servito. Grazie Keats!

English:
It was an unexpected experience for me. I enjoyed the food, even though I'm not used to spicy food. We met all the people who were kind to us. Despite our limited time, they showed us the most typical things to see in Chengdu (museum, theater show, street food, the panda reserve, etc.). My teacher, Kiki, was very kind to us and taught us so much. The only problem was the language, but in the end I came here to learn, and it definitely helped. Thanks, Keats!

la miaesperienza a Chengdu

Sin da quando ero in Italia, il programma della scuola mi ha colpito per la sua organizzazione precisa e la quantità di attività proposte . quando siamo arrivati le professoresse si sono subito rese disponibili e carine nei nostri confronti , esaudendo ogni nostra necessità . abbiamo organizzato anche uscite aggiuntive la sera e il mio posto preferito è stato Jingli Ancient Street, dove abbiamo mangiato tante cose buonissime e tipiche . inoltre le lezioni mi hanno fornito un livello di cinese molto buono , con la professoressa abbiamo approfondito molti aspetti grammaticali utili e abbiamo svolto lezioni interattive.

English:
Ever since I arrived in Italy, the school's program has impressed me with its precise organization and the variety of activities offered. When we arrived, the teachers immediately made themselves available and kind to us, fulfilling our every need. We also organized additional evening outings, and my favorite place was Jingli Ancient Street, where we ate so many delicious, traditional dishes. Furthermore, the lessons provided me with a very good level of Chinese. With the teacher, we explored many useful grammatical aspects and had interactive lessons.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
ho sempre avuto l’interesse di provare tutti i cibi “strani” cinesi , e un giorno ho mangiato le radici di loto che non mi ispiravano affatto , e invece mi hanno sorpresa !
Pros
  • migliora il tuo livello di cinese
  • cibo in abbondanza
  • tante attività

My experience

È stata davvero una delle esperienze più uniche e indimenticabili che abbia mai vissuto. Ho passato una settimana piena di attività super interessanti, educativi e intrattenenti che hanno abbracciato Chengdu e la cultura cinese; inoltre volevo ringraziare particolarmente la nostra professoressa Amber che ci ha seguiti durante il nostro percorso di studi ma anche durante le attività fuori dalle lezioni ed è sempre stata molto carina e disponibile durante tutto il viaggio, rendendo questa esperienza ancora più unica!

English:
It was truly one of the most unique and unforgettable experiences I've ever had. I spent a week filled with incredibly interesting, educational, and entertaining activities that embraced Chengdu and Chinese culture. I also wanted to especially thank our teacher, Amber, who supported us throughout our studies and during our activities outside of class. She was always so kind and helpful throughout the trip, making this experience even more unique!

La mia prima esperienza in Cina

Personalmente ho appezzato tutto ciò che la scuola ci ha fornito e le attività pomeridiane che ci ha proposto. Per quanto riguarda la nostra insegnante e guida, Amber, è stata veramente gentile e premurosa. Durante tutto l’arco della lezione ci ha seguito attentamente e cercando di farci capire a pieno ciò che stava spiegando. Mentre quando uscivamo ci aiutava nella traduzione qualora dovessimo comprare qualcosa. Ho amato Amber dal primo fino all’ultimo secondo, ritornerei solo per farmi fare lezione da lei.

English:
Personally, I appreciated everything the school provided and the afternoon activities it offered. Our teacher and guide, Amber, was truly kind and thoughtful. Throughout the lesson, she followed us attentively, making sure we fully understood what she was explaining. As we left, she helped us translate if we needed anything. I loved Amber from the first to the last second; I would return just to have her teach me.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Che a Chengdu a prescindere da dove uno si trova, girandosi intorno troverà sempre qualcosa a tema panda
