Omeida Chinese Academy

As it was my first time being in Yangshuo and in Guilin, it was fun for me to tour around town and go riding on a scooter to discover the place. Being surrounded by mountains and mingling with the locals were a wonderful experience. I’ve been living and working in China for more than 12 years; yet Yangshuo still offered a unique experience for me. It was also an educational experience to be able to learn Chinese at Omeida and admin staff members were very helpful in attending to my needs. The head teacher, Twelve, was very quick to offer me additional resources to help me improve my language skills. Anya, the manager, was also quick to answer any big and small questions that I had prior and during my time at the school. In future I hope to have more productive sessions with language partners so as to improve my communication skills. I also hope to have more speaking practices during lesson time when or if I decide to continue my studies at Omeida. Thank you!

Yangshuo has it all: stunning scenery and Omeida language academy. I loved my three weeks here and wish I could extend my trip. My teacher created classes that were fun, engaging and had the right amount of rigor. (I loved our class field trips and outings together). Outside of class, the community in Omeida is so welcoming and friendly. I especially loved my time volunteering through 1:1s to meet students learning English and adventuring around with my language partner and new friends. Studying at Omeida in Yangshuo was an incredibly rewarding experience and I would loved to return.

I was looking for a Chinese language school in China, and Omeida turned out to be one of the best decisions I could have made.
From the moment I arrived in Yangshuo, I was amazed by how beautiful the town is. Surrounded by incredible mountains and breathtaking landscapes, it feels like a place straight out of a painting.
What makes Omeida special is not only the quality of the Chinese classes, but also the people. The staff is incredibly friendly, supportive, and genuinely cares about your experience. They organize trips, cultural activities, and events that allow you to learn more about China while meeting people from all around the world.
One of my favorite parts of Omeida was the community. You'll meet international students from many different countries, as well as Chinese students learning English. It's a great environment for making friends, exchanging cultures, and practicing languages every day.
I came to China to learn Chinese, but I left with much more than that: unforgettable memories, new friendships, and a much deeper understanding of Chinese culture.
I would highly recommend Omeida to anyone who wants to study Chinese in China. In fact, I'm already thinking about coming back in the future!
Thank you, Omeida, for such an amazing experience :)

The people here are genuinely so friendly and helpful you feel welcome the second you walk through the door. I only stayed for three weeks but I wish I could stay for months. They are partnered with many other programs so they can get you a discount on music lessons, rock climbing lessons, cooking lessons and more. I took 2 guzheng lessons a week for my time here and it was so much fun. The teachers are really nice and accommodating around your level, so there is no concern about being ahead or behind.

I am retired and decided that I wanted to to see a little of China and learn of the culture. I decided to enroll at Omeida Chinese Academy. I was there for three months and it was a great experience. The teachers and the admin staff were competent, supportive and attentive. The teaching was fun and interactive. Yangshuo is located amidst the Karst mountains, so the daily scenery was amazing. The social and cultural activities were really interesting and I enjoyed being there during New Year and Spring Festival. I was comfortably set in one of their apartments, quiet and clean. My fellow students were great and it was fun to not only learn Chinese but get a little insights in other peoples cultures and motivation for coming. And Omeida Chinese school being associated with its sister school, Omeida English School for Chinese people made it perfect for interaction and making Chinese friends.
