La mia esperienza a Chengdu

Un’esperienza fantastica ! Organizzazione impeccabile e supporto costante . Lo consiglio vivamente a tutti . 5 stelle meritatissime! Chengdu è una città molto pulita, il posto migliore che abbiamo visitato è stato “ people’s park “, con tutti i fiori, cibi locali e tradizione. La scuola è luminosa è molto vicina alla metro e quindi si trova in una posizione molto favorevole. Le insegnanti aiutano e danno assistenza per qualsiasi cosa. Vengono offerti pasti buoni e tradizionali .

A fantastic experience! Impeccable organization and constant support. I highly recommend it to everyone. 5 well-deserved stars! Chengdu is a very clean city, the best place we visited was "People's Park", with all the flowers, local foods and tradition. The school is bright and very close to the subway, so it is in a very convenient location. The teachers are helpful and offer assistance with everything. Good, traditional meals are served.

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!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Siamo andati a vedere il loro tradizionale spettacolo teatrale. È stato bellissimo soprattutto la rapidità con la quale cambiavano le maschere.

La mia esperienza a Chengdu

Chengdu é una città molto bella, molto poco turistica quindi é facile sentirsi una persona del posto. Assolutamente da vedere sono: Twins Towers, Bamboo towers e il parco dei panda. Il posto più interessante che ho visitato fin’ora sono le Twins Towers perché i giochi di luce mi hanno affascinato. La scuola é molto comoda dato che si trova all’interno del campus. Il corso a cui ho partecipato era in gruppo e molto dinamico e interattivo. Gli insegnanti sono sempre disponibili! Ottima esperienza la consiglierei!

English:
Chengdu is a beautiful city, not very touristy, so it's easy to feel like a local. Must-sees include the Twin Towers, Bamboo Towers, and the panda park. The most interesting place I've visited so far is the Twin Towers because I was fascinated by the light displays. The school is very convenient as it's located on campus. The course I attended was in a group and very dynamic and interactive. The teachers are always available! Excellent experience, I would recommend it!

Pros
  • Esperienza unica
  • Gruppo unito
  • Insegnati disponibili

La mia esperienza a Chengdu

Chengdu è una città molto bella e molto interessante, in una settimana abbiamo visitato molti posti interessanti e molte bancarelle su cui provare cibi tipici. La mia esperienza preferita sarà ovviamente quella di andare a vedere i panda nello zoo!! La scuola di keats è molto bella, tipica del posto e con tutte le conformità possibili. Grazie alla scuola fatta dalle insegnanti di keats sono riuscita ad imparare cose nuove e ripassare quelle su cui ero più incerta. Esperienza stupenda che vorrei tanto rifare.

English:
Chengdu is a beautiful and interesting city. In a week, we visited many interesting places and many stalls where we could try typical foods. My favorite experience will obviously be going to see the pandas in the zoo! The Keats School is very nice, typical of the area, and with all the necessary standards. Thanks to the school run by Keats' teachers, I was able to learn new things and brush up on what I was most uncertain about. It was a wonderful experience that I would love to do again.

What was your funniest moment?
il momento più divertente è stato durante la lezione di kunfu fatta con la mia classe

My experience in Chengdu

The experience was amazing. The course very good and useful for review old grammar verbs and Chengdu is a wonderful city. Teacher were always available and kind and was really nice eat the typical Chinese food instead of European food in the canteen of the campus. The activities were funny but useful to go deep in the Chinese culture. With grammar lessons, i really improve my Chinese-skills. For me its a must experience if you study and like Chinese and their environment and I really recommend it!!!

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
the most unfamiliar thing that i ate was surely the chicken feet and for an italian it was really strange

2週間の1on1留学体験

2週間、1日4時間の1on1レッスンを受講しました。忙しい方や、すぐにでも学習を始めたい方に自信を持ってお勧めします。申し込み手続きは非常にスムーズで、学校の場所の選択と入金を済ませれば、3日もあれば準備が整いました。

行く前は日本人の口コミが少なく少し緊張しましたが、実際は非常に信頼できる学校で、安心して過ごすことができました。成都の寮は3食の食事があり、コストパフォーマンスも非常に高いと感じます。学校周辺はとても落ち着いた環境ですが、徒歩5分ほどに駅があるためアクセスも良好です。都心までは電車で片道30分ほどなので、静かな環境で学習に集中することができました。

授業では、会話・文法・発音をバランスよく組み合わせていただきました。先生は私のたどたどしい中国語をいつも根気強く聞き取り、熱心に指導してくださったおかげで、常に高いモチベーションを維持できました。教室の雰囲気も明るく、リラックスして学べる環境です。

これまでは特に明確な理由なく勉強してきましたが、この2週間で中国語に対する気持ちが大きく変わりました。先生の素晴らしいレッスンを通じて「もっと話せるようになりたい」と強く思うようになり、今では中国語を学ぶことが大好きです。本当にありがとうございました。

English:
I took 4 hours of one-on-one lessons per day for 2 weeks. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is busy or wants to start learning right away. The application process was very smooth, and once I selected a school location and made the payment, I was ready to go in just 3 days.

Before going, I was a little nervous because there were few reviews from Japanese people, but it was actually a very trustworthy school and I was able to spend my time there with peace of mind. The dormitory in Chengdu provides three meals a day and I feel it is very cost-effective. The area around the school is very quiet, but the station is just a five-minute walk away, so it's easily accessible. It's only about a 30-minute train ride to the city center, so I was able to concentrate on my studies in a quiet environment.

The lessons were a balanced combination of conversation, grammar, and pronunciation. The teacher always patiently listened to my halting Chinese and enthusiastically taught me, which helped me to maintain a high level of motivation. The classroom atmosphere was bright and relaxed, making it a great learning environment.

Until now, I had been studying without any clear reason, but these past two weeks have completely changed my feelings about Chinese. Your wonderful lessons have given me a strong desire to be able to speak more, and now I love learning Chinese. Thank you so much.

Keats Chengdu

I’m really glad I got to spend my time here at Keats in Chengdu. Learning Chinese for a week while experiencing the local life has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve made.

I love both the school and the city. The private lessons are comfortable and very enjoyable, and the people here in Chengdu are so chill and kind. The foods are also delicious! The weather is also nice here during spring.

I will definitely recommend both the school and Chengdu to others. Thank you so much for having me! 🤍

Pros
  • Ask local about the good foods
  • Go to flower market
  • Hanfu photoshoot

A Very Good Review

KEATS is a great program that I would recommend to anyone who wants a in-country Chinese language program. Before I signed up, I saw several good reviews online and perused the school’s very professional website. The only aspects with which people said they were dissatisfied were the food and some of the accommodations. I saw no criticism of the Chinese program from former students, and since this was my main priority, I signed up and I wasn’t disappointed. (For what it’s worth, in my opinion that the food and lodging were very nice.)

My teacher, Ms. Zhou was very informative and helpful in every way. From the beginning of the course, I wrote some example sentences with the new vocabulary, and she was always willing to read through whatever I had written and offer corrections, which helped me learn a lot.

Keats’s Kunming location is an ideal place to take a Chinese language course not only because of the city’s year-round spring weather but also because of the school’s proximity to the city’s greatest attractions. Keat’s is conveniently situated in the middle of the city, right next to a subway station and is close to lots of different attractions, including a teahouse that I had the pleasure of visiting. They had an abundance of flavors that would entice anyone, many different teas and a peaceful atmosphere.

I visited the local night market several times just to buy things and to see the nightlife. The night market has lots of different kinds of food and tea. I would recommend it to anyone. I made friends not only with other students in the program but also a few Kunming locals, and the impression they made will stay with me for a long time.

The art gallery in Kunming has some really beautiful artwork, including big murals and some highly realistic oil paintings.

Really, Keats is an excellent program that I woul recommend to anyone with an interest in Chinese language. If you want to learn Chinese in a good, exciting environment, Keats is the right place.

Keats school experience

I had an excellent experience at Keats Chinese School. From the moment I arrived, the entire staff was welcoming, professional, and always ready to help with anything I needed. Their support made settling in easy and stress-free. Peng Laoshi and Lei Laoshi are truly outstanding teachers. They created a positive and encouraging classroom environment where I felt comfortable speaking Chinese, even when I made mistakes. Thanks to their patience and guidance, my confidence improved significantly, and I became more motivated to keep learning. My only regret is not staying longer to continue progressing. I sincerely hope to return in the future for more study and another enriching. Thank you so much for everything guys!

Individual Classes and Encouraging Environment

Everything was organized perfectly. I had not to worry about anything from the arrival on forward to departure.

The lessons were made for one's needs and no standard procedures. We could talk a lot to improve listening and speaking Chinese. Also got an insight on Chinese Culture.

I can also highly recommend a homestay, as my host family was the sweetest and also suitable for adults, as they did not limit me in my plans but always gave me advices.

The food offered by the school was also tasty :)

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would stay longer🥹
Pros
  • Vegetable Food after request
  • Organization perfectly (you can also order online to the school)
  • Very nice people
