The best Chinese teacher at Kunming Keats

王老师又善良又耐心帮助了我进步我的四声 我很喜欢Keats的健身房。我每天都去!!!The weather in Kunming is absolutely wonderful all year round, which is why people also call it the City of Eternal Spring. The temperature here is always mild and comfortable. There is no extremely hot summer or bitterly cold winter. The sky is often clear with soft sunshine, and gentle wind blows almost every day. I never feel uncomfortable staying outdoors, and I really love this pleasant climate so much.

Besides its nice weather, the rice noodles in Kunming are incredibly delicious and unforgettable. I have tried many different kinds of local rice noodles during my stay here. Cross-bridge rice noodles are the most famous one, filled with fresh soup, thin sliced meat, vegetables and seasonings. I have also tasted miscellaneous sauce rice noodles, beef rice noodles, chicken rice noodles and wild mushroom rice noodles. Every type has its unique tasty broth and special matching ingredients. Each bowl smells amazing and tastes rich. I enjoy exploring all these local flavors and can never get tired of eating various Kunming rice noodles. Overall, Kunming is such a lovely city with perfect weather and amazing local food that I totally fall in love with it.

Keats Kunming

Keats has a very good program, the classes and teachers are great, the school in Kunming is in a very good location and it is very easy to get around, with a train station nearby also making it easy for travelling.

Besides that, they make the stay very easy and convenient, there are also a bunch of activities during the night on weekdays and the whole day in weekends. They also listen to feedback really quickly and try to adapt to your needs.

I can easily recommend the Keats school in Kunming

An enjoyable week.

I spent a week here with my son. I am at the beginner level. my son is more advanced. the lessons were great. the most useful facet of learning for me was the active feedback and correction tondrill my tones which I found immensely useful.The school support was excellent. they helped us with all aspects of living in china from mobile phone support, getting around, payment etc. Kunming itself is great. especially the weather which is cool. though it can get warm in the pm. very worthwhile experience. the pickup from the airport was really useful and was the drop off at the train station for the next leg of our journey. on the final day Han Lao Shi the teacher brought us to the massive market by subway. what an eyeopener..she gave us a guided tour And introduced us to the locals fruits and foods. we will return for more in the future

Pros
  • great teaching
  • rooms on premises very convenient
  • great location right next to mrt

Unforgettable Keats experience in Shanghai

This was my second time choosing Keats school for an immersive Chinese program and I enjoyed it even more than the first time! This time I chose a two-week four hours per day 1-on-1 course in Shanghai. Keats really took care of everything. I was picked up from the airport by my teacher Yuki, who came over especially from Kunming, and we immediately got on very well. I really enjoyed the classes which were amazingly tailor made to my interests and likings. We discussed a range of interesting topics, all in Chinese. Every day after class we would go out for lunch together (the costs of which were also covered by Keats), explore the city together and have a lot of fun. Yuki took note of all the words I asked her during the day, and have personalised example sentences prepared the next day. In the evening, she sent me the notes from that day’s class for review. My room was comfortable and only one floor apart from the classroom, which was very convenient. The building was located in a lively area and access to a hotel gym and indoor swimming pool were provided as well. The two weeks flew by and I really felt like I had a 24/7 private guide, who helped me improve my Chinese tremendously and also felt like a friend. I would definitely want to go again and highly recommend studying Chinese with Yuki at Keats to anyone who’s up for an immersive experience!

An Unforgettable Experience at Keats School in Kunming

From the moment I arrived, everything was well arranged. They quickly sat down with me to figure out what I wanted to work on and built a study plan around that — which I really appreciated.
I stayed with a host family during my stay, which was honestly great. Really kind people, and just being around them in the evenings after class taught me a lot too. Things you just don't pick up in a classroom.
Six hours of private lessons a day is a lot, not going to lie. But it works. You're kind of forced to just go for it, and looking back that's exactly what I needed. My spoken Chinese improved way more in one week than I expected going in.
Would definitely recommend it to anyone who's serious about learning Mandarin and wants to actually make progress fast.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just go for it and don't be afraid to make mistakes. The immersion is intense but that's the whole point — embrace it, speak as much as you can outside of class too, and make use of your host family. You'll progress faster than you think.
Pros
  • One-on-one lessons fully tailored to your level
  • Living with a host family adds a whole extra layer to the experience
What other participants should know
  • Six hours of private lessons a day can be intense

Kunming school is best

It has been a very good learning experience overall. The improvement is clearly visible after continuous practice day by day. Every lesson is practical and closely connected to daily life, so what students learn is truly useful for real communication. The teachers are professional, patient and responsible. Every class is carefully planned and well prepared with rich topics, vocabulary and conversation practice. Students never feel bored during class, and they keep making progress in listening and speaking step by step.

We are staying in Kunming right now, and the city leaves all the students a wonderful impression. Kunming boasts pleasant weather all year round, with mild temperatures, bright sunshine and fresh air most days. Comfortable climatic conditions make our study and daily leisure time much more enjoyable. Today marks the final class of this study period, all learners maintained an excellent learning state throughout the whole session, and we finished targeted listening and oral practice with satisfying results. Later we will head to the local tea market to pick out tea together. This outdoor activity can not only serve as a nice ending for our whole course, but also let students experience local tea culture and practise Chinese dialogue in real shopping scenarios.

Four weeks in Kunming

I had the chance to spend for weeks at Keats in Kunming this summer and really enjoyed it.
From monday to friday, I had four hours of class in the morning and afternoons free to explore the city.
During this time, I feel like my chinese improved a lot, in particular to gain confidence to speak even if it is just short sentences to order food.
Many thanks to Ma Laoshi and Li Laoshi (李芳芳), who had patience in particular when it came to pronounciation.

Besides studying, Kunming has a lot parks to visit as well as tea and coffee to drink.
Every day there is an activity organized by Keats, with my highlights being the visit to the stone forest, and playing chinese chess.

Pros
  • Great Teachers
  • Surroundings and weather
  • Good Tea and Coffee

Learn Chinese in KEATS

I studied here for a week and i wish i did it for longer. I was fluent in basic chinese so it was easy to pick up on things but im sure if i had done it for a month or two i could reach HSK3. The teacher personalizes classes and i could see improvement real quick. Ms. Wang is the best cant wait to be back. Ms wang and claire were helpful not only during class but also beyond when i needed help with my life in Chengdu. They also have outdoor classes, where you can learn Chinese in fun way. They also have a campus in Kunming i would love to check that out too. The campus in chengdu is perfect for students its quiet but also not too far from city so you can go out conveniently after classes.I will come back again for sure. This is so worth it🥹.

KEATS Summer

The staff are all welcoming and nice. They provide snacks and a lively atmosphere. Overall I really enjoyed this experience and would highly recommend going here to study chinese.
I really love studying Chinese at this school in Chengdu. My teacher is extremely nice, patient and friendly. She always explains words and grammar clearly and encourages me to speak Chinese bravely in class. Besides regular lessons, there are plenty of fun afternoon activities every week. I joined many interesting group activities, including handcraft workshops. Making handmade works with classmates was such a wonderful and unforgettable experience. I can not only improve my Chinese skills here, but also experience authentic Chinese culture. The school environment is warm and comfortable. Every day I look forward to coming to class. It’s such a great place for foreign learners to learn Chinese and make new friends. I highly recommend this school
