Omeida Chinese Academy

This was my second time coming to study at Omeida, and I had a wonderful experience again. I had daily private classes, which were tailored to my specific needs and were exactly what I needed (focus on conversation). Thanks to my teacher and the rest of the school staff, I could delve deeper into Chinese culture and life in China. The school atmosphere is uplifting and inspiring, it’s a joyful place to be in. The accomodation the school provided was new, modern and clean. They helped me set up the scooter, gym membership, etc. There’s plenty of yummy and cheap food options around. You can completely immerse yourself in the language, which is harder in the big main Chinese cities. I have no complaints, and I can’t wait to come back!!!

Terrific teachers, staff, accommodation, and overall experience! Omeida is more than just a language school - it's a vibrant, supportive community that truly cares about your progress. The teachers are not only skilled and professional but also incredibly friendly and patient, making it easy to ask questions and stay motivated. The staff go out of their way to help with anything you need, both in and outside the classroom. The accommodation was clean, comfortable, and conveniently located just minutes from the school. I also really appreciated the cultural activities and language partner program, which gave me daily opportunities to practice Chinese in real-life situations. The setting in Yangshuo, surrounded by breathtaking karst mountains, made the experience even more memorable. I'll definitely be back!

The month I spent in Yangshuo and as a student at Omeida will forever stay in my heart. I can really say that I lived one of the most healing, self-caring and fun times of my life so far. It was amazing to realize that I am not the only language nerd who will happily spend time doing Chinese class homework and enjoy it. The staff at Omeida, the teachers and the students make the place as magical as it is, a picturesque dream. The staff is so lovely, thank you Lucy for all the great weekend activities and being our helpful good fairy for any possible questions, thank you Rachel for guiding me so well from the registration to the visa and the arrival, thank you to Anya for organizing so many extracurricular student group trips! Thank you Echo laoshi, you were an amazing teacher with a rich toolbox of methods.. you kept us engaged, curious and even adjusted your teaching to the different levels of individual students. I am grateful that I chose to do this experience and can even confidently say that my Chinese improved quite a lot! :) If you're looking to escape your daily routine at home, your job or just want to mix language learning, meeting new friends and exploring the beautiful nature around Yangshuo, this is the right choice for sure!

I couldn’t be happier with my month at Omeida and plan to return in the near future.

The staff is super helpful, accommodations are clean and quiet. Instruction is top-notch. Social activities really generate a sense of community. My teacher in a class of four was quite demanding, but I appreciated it because we are often not demanding enough on ourselves. The month gave me insight into my weak spots. And the beautiful setting of Yangshuo was perfect for study breaks. Work hard. Play hard. Fun. Definitely will return at the first opportunity.

I haven’t been in a classroom in decades and was a little apprehensive. But from the moment I contacted the staff at Omeida they took care to ensure there were no bumps in my language and culture learning experience. The faculty are very knowledgeable about the challenges of language learning. The classes I was in were very small — 2–4 students. Individual attention is the norm. If you get stuck the teacher has the flexibility to stop and ensure that your problem is resolved. I’m celebrating my growth in Mandarin fluency. Hooray for Omeida Chinese Academy!
