Study at Keats

I had a truly satisfying experience attending Keats School in Kunming. I highly recommend this school for three reasons.

First, the urban environment of Kunming is excellent. With mild weather year-round and clear air, it is an optimal place for studying. The surrounding scenery is beautiful, and the infrastructure is well-established, making it easy to enjoy leisure time. The stable and comfortable atmosphere greatly aids in learning.

Second, the teachers are outstanding. They possess professional knowledge and explain lessons in an easy-to-understand manner. They carefully monitor students' learning progress and kindly answer questions. Their genuine interest and encouragement boost my motivation to learn.

Third, Keats School's facilities and operations are well-organized. Clean classrooms and high-quality learning materials are available. The curriculum is substantial, and student management is thorough. You can steadily improve your skills in a comfortable school atmosphere.

Overall, it is a top-tier language school, so I highly recommend it to anyone looking to learn a language.

쿤밍에 위치한 키츠 학교에 다니면서 정말 만족스러운 경험을 했습니다. 세 가지 측면에서 이 학교를 강력 추천합니다.

첫째, 쿤밍 도시 환경이 매우 좋습니다. 사계절 날씨가 온화하고 공기가 맑아서 공부하기 최적의 장소입니다. 주변 경치가 아름답고 생활 인프라가 잘 갖춰져 있어 여가 시간을 즐기기 쉽습니다. 안정적이고 편안한 분위기가 학습에 큰 도움을 줍니다.

둘째, 학교 선생님들이 매우 훌륭합니다. 선생님들은 전문적인 지식을 갖추고 수업 설명을 쉽게 해줍니다. 학생의 학습 상황을 꼼꼼하게 살펴보고 질문에 친절하게 답변해 줍니다. 학생에게 관심을 많이 가지며 격려해 주어 학습 의욕이 높아집니다.

셋째, 키츠 학교 자체의 시설과 운영이 체계적입니다. 깔끔한 교실과 양질의 학습 자료가 준비되어 있습니다. 수업 커리큘럼이 알차고 학생 관리가 철저합니다. 편안한 학교 분위기 속에서 꾸준히 실력을 높일 수 있습니다.
전반적으로 최고의 어학원이므로 언어를 배우고 싶은 사람들에게 적극 추천합니다.

Keats review

I think that this program was both very educational and fun. The lessons were well structured and also included fun games to improve your chinese. We visited a lot of cool places in Shanghai and Zhangjiajie which were really nice and beautiful. We also try to speak as much chinese as we can and when we go out we try to speak Chinese with the locals, for example when you order your food! The teachers are also really nice and try to make your experience as fun and comfortable as possible. Whenever you had a problem with something you could just call them and they will come and fix it. For example me and my family had a problem with calling a taxi and they taught us how to.
Overall this was a really fun experience and I would recommend to everybody.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
The most surprising thing I did was go to the Zhangjiajie geological park where I realised I am at the place where the film “Avatar” was filmed!
Pros
  • Intense chinese learning for a couple of hours everyday
  • Visiting fascinating places
  • Getting to learn chinese cultures

Good experience

Thanks to you, I had the opportunity to come to Kunming, enjoy its wonderful weather, study Chinese, and travel at the same time.

When I first started, I had some vague worries and uncertainties, but time flew by and I truly enjoyed every moment here.

I would love to recommend this program to my friends and people around me so they can share the same valuable experience.

I sincerely appreciate the teachers who dedicated themselves to the classes and all the staff members who supported me throughout my stay.

Thank you very much for making this experience so meaningful and memorable.

Excellent Chinese Language School

I wanted to improve my Chinese language level, as I had not used it regularly for many years. As an older student In the workforce I didn’t have the time or inclination to try to find my own accommodation, so The Keats school in Kunming was ideal, as very good accommodation and all meals Monday to Friday are included in the tuition fee. I chose 4 weeks one on one intensive lessons (4 hours a day, 5 days a week). A lot of ground was covered but there was always time in the classes to explore in more detailed points of language which had been raised. The classes are very well structured and extensive class notes are provided. The teaching methodology includes listening, speaking reading and writing, as well as multimedia materials and out of class excursions (eg to the market or a library etc). I was impressed with the quality and experience of both my teachers, who have obviously been well trained in teaching Chinese to foreigners. I had prior to signing up expressed an interest in studying the traditional Chinese characters as part of the lessons and I was pleasantly surprised to find that this was incorporated into my lessons, so that for any new word the traditional character was also given where it differed from the standard mainland character. I can highly recommend this school.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I wish I could have stayed longer!
Pros
  • Excellent teachers
  • Very good accommodation and most meals provided
  • A very convenient option in a great city.

Highly recommended!

Great experience learning Chinese with Wang Laoshi! She has equipped me with many suitable chinese words & phrases for traveling in just 2 weeks. We had outside classes so I can practise what I've learned. The school location is very central and the facilities as well as activities are at high quality. The meals are provided so it's quite convenient. There are also many restaurants around if you want to try. You still have time for yourself to study and explore the city after 4-hour at class.Highly recommended!

A wonderful experience with Li Laoshi at Keats!

Li Laoshi made learning fun and interesting. I came in with very little ability to speak Chinese. After two weeks of classes, both my comprehension and speaking ability improved a lot. Kunming is a lovely city to be based in. There are many interesting markets to visit, as well as beautiful parks. I highly recommend going to the mushroom market, flower market and at least one of the wet markets. I really enjoyed exploring the city during my free time, and joined in with people dancing in the parks! My daughter also studiend at Keats, choosing to stay with a host family. They were incredibly friendly, and invited me to join them on several activities. I felt very safe exploring the city, and met many local people who were kind and friendly. Kunming also makes a great base for starting further travels in China. I'm heading to Guizhou, Hunan, and Jiangxi next.

Keats is the best school to learn Chinese in China

I used to study in Keats Chengdu for 3 weeks. Honestly, the result was completely 10/10. Firstly, in here, i can study certain topics that i want to focus on, and all teachers are enthusiasm, full of energy making you feel better.
I took 1:1 classs and i have to admit that this course help me improve a lot. Improve my confidence when opening my mouth speaking, remembering ability, i deeply understand how to live with Chinese.
My three teachers are Wang laoshi and Li laoshi, Claire laoshi. I felt they put into their job dedication, positive energy and deliver determination to keep going on.
Secondly, i am really greatful for the study enviroment that Keats gave me, giving me a chance to communicate with international friends. We both spoke English and Mandarian at the same time, we hang out together and laoshi took us to some nice places.
And thirdly, Keats gave students great accomodation with many pieaces of furniture which were new and good.Of course, delicious food and water were included.
I will miss the days in Keats so much, and i highly recommend those who are looking for a place to study Chinese while enjoy amazing things in a beautiful city like Chengdu.

What was your funniest moment?
At every meal at the school, I had the chance to eat together with my teachers and classmates. We shared delicious food and had cheerful conversations, which made our learning experience even more enjoyable and heartwarming.
Pros
  • High quality
  • Accomodation
  • Studying enviroment

Kenneth New Keats Review

This is my second time coming to Kunming to learn Chinese in Keats. It was as fun as the first time, if not better. So if you’re looking for a friendly environment to speak Chinese but you’re not too confident, then Keats School is for you. There are lots of opportunities to speak while practicing Chinese here, whether by talking to locals or teachers.

Moreover, there are new activities every week, where we would go to different places. Kunming is a beautiful city with beautiful places, such as Dwarves Empire, Stone Forest, Dounan Flower Market, Yunnan Nationalities Village, Daguan Park and Farmer Market, and more night markets. There is a special reason why Kunming is called Spring City, for its suitable climate and temperature, and even some beautiful flowers.

Not only do I get to learn Chinese, but I get to learn more about Kunming, China as whole, and even Chinese culture and food. The teachers are also very friendly and very nice, they are always ready to help you to learn.

Keats Kunming review

The design of the program is very well made. You will not only study Chinese, but also explore various locations, arts, culture, and history of China. The program let you explore many cities and towns in China, and study at the same time. The way they plan the program is very good. Definitely recommended for people who want to study Chinese, and also want to explore Chinese culture at the same time.
Teachers are great too. There are countless opportunities to practice your spoken language. Also, there are culture nights and activities on weekends. Definitely recommend weekend activities.
But other than this thing, it is 5/5

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
bugs
Pros
  • immersive
  • great way to explore as study
  • locations

Great teachers, staff, and immersion

I was at Keats Kunming for 7 weeks doing 1:1 immersion for 6 hours a day and felt my Mandarin level improve drastically. I had great teachers who were flexible and adaptive to my specific needs and learning goals. Keats also has wonderful staff and activities to participate in everyday, so there are always things to do. Keats also helps a lot with travel logistics and settling into China, which I found really useful, for example setting up WeChat and Alipay or getting a Chinese mobile sim. The students I met at Keats were also wonderful.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
The speed at which you improve your mandarin, while aided by excellent teachers, is also determined by your hard work to improve. I suggest asking for homework, going out of the school, and talking to locals.
Pros
  • Immersive opportunity in China
  • Helpful and attentive staff
  • Best teachers
