Great experience

Good place to learn Chinese. Location is very good and quiet, subway station close by, the city offers a lot to visit. Support from the school in all matters was excellent, the room good for the purpose, and specially the food just superb. My teacher had a great attitude and addressed all topics in a fantastic way, I did learn a lot. I feel it was the absolutely right decision to choose this school. I also appreciated the chance to meet students from other countries and Chinese language levels, a great opportunity to share experiences and improve your learning process.

2nd Keats experience

This is my second time doing an extended trip to Kunming and participating at the Keats institute. As you can probably tell I came back because I thoroughly enjoy studying through Keats. All the services they provide, the friendly attitude of all the respective staff, even the free food is very enjoyable. My teacher everyday really put in effort and helped me according to my own needs - and we shared a lot of our own personal experiences using Mandarin, which I actually finds helps me remember it more rather than just doing boring textbook based learning. She really went above and beyond, as did the rest of the staff, to learn my needs and habits and assist me as best she could to unlocking my language learning potential. I now feel confident in speaking to strangers and enjoying authentic Chinese culture where Mandarin is used. I highly recommended Keats for any student wanting to increase their knowledge of Mandarin and Chinese culture as a whole

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Be open to all the new experiences and take it slow. If you do you won't regret it. Learning a new language takes time but the more you just enjoy the experience the easier it is

My Experience in KunMing Keats School

I studied Chinese at Keats School from September to November. It was a long period and I learned a lot. Keats School is located in Kunming, Yunnan Province. The environment in Kunming is very nice and the air quality is good. There are many beautiful places. On weekends, you can also go to nearby places like Dali and Lijiang. Everyone lives a relatively relaxed life here. Keats School is in the center of Kunming, and it's very convenient to go anywhere. After class every day, I would go to the gym in the city center to exercise. The school also provides good services. There are different activities every day and you can participate according to your interests. There are also activities on weekends. My teacher, Miss Pi, is a very good teacher. I learned many interesting new words in her class. My Chinese has improved a lot in these three months. She also took me to many famous places in Kunming during outdoor classes and recommended many delicious foods. The food she recommended was really delicious! In general, I recommend coming to Keats to study Chinese.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
In  KunMing, we can ride public bikes with ease and convenience. This is a fun and suprising opportunity for all students and tourists here
