Chengdu italian group

Chengdu is wonderful and I am very grateful we were able to live it fully while also learning chinese. The lessons with Rose laoshi are very interesting and the places we visited were beautiful and fun to walk around. Activities are very fun, food is great and the rooms are very comfortable.
This Chengdu program gave me such a fantastic experience! We visited the Giant Panda Base and Dujiangyan, both were breathtaking and left me with great memories. The Chinese classes were really enjoyable and well-paced. The teacher was kind and helpful, making learning Chinese fun and easy. I learned a lot while having a wonderful time here. Totally recommend this program to anyone interested in Chinese language and culture!

My first time in Chengdu!

I had already spent one week in keats school in Kunming, so when I got to beautiful Chengdu my expectations were already pretty high.
Now, that my time here is almost over, I can say that the experience was even better than I could ever imagine!
The structure was really good.
My friends and I really enjoyed the balcony on the last floor, we had the best talks there!
It’s not in the city centre , but it’s near a tube station from which you can go basically everywhere.
Talking about the classes, I was in the advanced class with Willow 老师.
She’s THE BEST, our lesson were always interesting and we always had a lot of fun with her.
She’s smart, prepared and always ready to help you out without making you feel uncomfortable.
I feel like I’ve learnt a lot without ever getting bored.
And what can I say about the city?
Simply Stunning.
From the modern Chunxi Lu to the ancient alleys, all the way to the Panda Reserve.
It’s a city that takes your heart and never lets it go.
I would recommend this experience to everyone as it has left a deep mark in me.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Definetly the panda reserve!
Since I was a little girl, it was my biggest dream to see this stunning animals, so my dream really came true!

Chengdu summer camp

During these two weeks I found myself living an unforgettable experience in the city of Chengdu: the guided visits weren't limited to giving us a simple taste of the city, but the program included unique and varied places, ranging from the most modern and youthful spots to the most traditional temples. I decided to book this summer camp both to deepen my knowledge of the language and to see the giant pandas, the symbol of the city, in person—so I would have preferred the visit to the Chengdu Breeding Center to take place in the morning, so as to find the animals more active, since they spend their afternoon away from the public. As for the lessons, the experience was more than satisfying, largely thanks to our teacher, who made the lessons very interactive and offered a very innovative and interesting teaching approach, paying particular attention to each individual student, showing great humanity and professionalism.

Original:
Durante queste due settimane di permanenza mi sono ritrovata a vivere una esperienza indimenticabile nella città di chengdu: le visite guidate non si sono limitate a darci un semplice assaggio della città, ma nel programma sono stari inseriti posti unici e di vario genere, passando dai luoghi piu moderni e giovanili fino ai templi piu tradizionali.Decisi di prenotare questo summer camp sia per approfondire la lingua che per cedere dal vivo i panda giganti, il simbolo della città,quindi avrei preferito che la visita al chengdu breeting centre si fosse svolta la mattina in modo tale da trovare più attivi gli animali, i quali occupano il proprio pomeriggio lontano dal pubblico. Anche per quanto riguarda le lezioni, l'esperienza è stata più che soddisfacente, soprattutto per merito della nostra insegnate che ha reso le lezioni molto iterattive e proposto un approccio di insegnamento molto innovativo e interessante, prestando particolare attenzione ad ogni singolo stidente, dimostrando grande umanità e professionalità.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
Skyscrapers, food, temples

My experience in Chengdu

My experience in Chengdu, as a first time traveler in China, was really amazing! They were very organized and showed us so many beautiful places. Even if I wished I had more free time, I still managed to visit almost everything worth-seeing in Chengdu, along with really outstanding views.
The thing I loved the most though was the lessons with professor Rose. The classes with her were easy to understand, fun and super interesting. Definitely helpful to learn chinese.
I will forever be grateful for this experience and the friends I made along the way!

Enriching experience

Hello everyone! My name is Luca and I come from Rome.

This is my second time studying in China at Keats School, after an amazing experience in Kunming last year. Choosing it again in Chengdu was the best decision I could make. The school provides a vibrant and stimulating environment, hosting students from all over the world who share the same passion for Chinese.

Whether you prefer group classes or one-on-one lessons, the school tailors everything based on your current proficiency level. Both times, I decided to join the group classes and I found them well-organized.

What makes the classes truly special is the incredibly relaxed atmosphere where you are completely encouraged to speak Chinese without any pressure, even when you make mistakes. The teaching methodology is varied and dynamic; we often play games with the language, which turns studying into an engaging activity.

My teacher was Willow, who handles the advanced group (HSK level 3 and above). She is young, qualified, and always knows how to keep the lessons interesting.

Beyond the classroom, my program included afternoon activities, such as exploring the city and using Chinese to interact with local people, which really transforms the language into a practical tool for action in everyday society.

Chengdu itself is a beautiful city: of course, besides visiting the famous Panda Base, Sanxingdui Museum is a must-see and you sholud go watch a traditional Sichuan Opera performance (川剧). When it comes to food, diving into the local hot pot is a must-try experience that completes the whole adventure.

To sum it up, if you are looking to study Chinese while having an authentic and memorable experience, Keats School is hands down a top choice.

CHENGDU, ITALIAN GROUP

È stata una bellissima esperienza!
Chengdu è una città meravigliosa e abbiamo visitato molti posti interessanti.
L'insegnante Rose è preparata e coinvolgente, gentile e simpatica.
Mi piacerebbe tornare qui per studiare il Cinese con lei e conoscere altri posti fantastici!
Imparare il Cinese insieme a lei è davvero divertente. Il suo metodo è efficace e mai noioso. Le lezioni sono interessanti e gioiose, c'è una bella atmosfera rilassata e non si ha paura di sbagliare perché la Laoshi Rose ti rispiega tutto bene quando non capisci senza farti sentire a disagio.
我很喜欢学习中文给她!
谢谢,老师!!

Studiare e vivere Chengdu

Translation:
I recently finished my course, and it was a wonderful experience. It was my first time studying at Keats School, and I had a fantastic time; everyone was very kind and welcoming.
The lessons were interesting and never dull. The best part was that we didn't just study in the classroom—we also visited various iconic landmarks around the city. It was a fantastic way to learn and explore the city.
The teachers are excellent, friendly, and always ready to help.
I had Willow as my teacher, and I can confirm she is highly knowledgeable—just like all the other instructors. She taught us Chinese through games, explaining vocabulary and showing how to apply it to everyday life.
It was truly a great experience. I recommend it to anyone looking for a school that is both professional and fun!

Original:
Ho finito da poco il mio corso ed è stata un'esperienza bellissima. È la prima volta che studiavo presso la Keats School e mi sono trovata benissimo. Tutti sono stati molto gentili e accoglienti.
Le lezioni erano interessanti e mai noiose. La cosa più bella è che non abbiamo solo studiato in classe: infatti, ci hanno fatto visitare i vari luoghi simbolo della città. È stato un fantastico modo per imparare e scoprire la città.
I professori sono molto bravi, simpatici e sempre disponibili ad aiutarti.
In particolare ho avuto la professoressa Willow, posso confermare che è molto preparata, come tutti gli altri insegnanti, ci faceva imparare il cinese tramite giochi, spiegandoci le parole ed applicandole alla vita quotidiana.
È stata davvero una bella esperienza. Raccomando questa esperienza a tutti quelli che cercano una scuola seria ma anche divertente!.

What would you improve about this program?
Realizzerei alcune escursioni la sera, in maniera da far vivere la magia della città anche di notte.

Best study experience

We had a really great and fun course, we tried different methods of study, from actual grammar, to games, and watching content in our target language. The teachers was always supportive and didn't put us under any type of pressure. The only negative side is the fact that my course lasted only 10 days, because I will miss my teacher and course, but even with the little time the teacher made it worth it, the lessons we're never boring. Especially with the task we had to do everyday where we had to use the language we are studying. So in a nutshell I really loved the experience and would do it again

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I would have booked more days

My second stay with Keats - Chengdu

This was my second time attending a Chinese class with Keats School, and as always, they don't miss.
The location is spectacular, two minutes from line 2 of the metro, which allows you to reach the heart of 成都 jiffy quick.
With these types of courses it often occurs that the level might not be perfectly calibrated, however this year I've had a perfect experience with Teacher Willow, whose teaching has not only made this further step in learning Chinese fun but also very effective.
With games, anime, music and much more, every class has been simply lovely, and we were very excited to come.
The food is traditional and very good tasting although less spicy than average in 四川, which for many is a something to treasure.
Overall I would recommend to everyone approaching Mandarin Chinese or Chinese culture in general to give Keats school and their teachers a try!

What was your funniest moment?
One of my favorite moments was discovering that everyone got the same running joke. I kept quoting 牛来 from this film, and it just stuck with me throughout the course. Everyone knew it. My classmates, the teachers, people I'd known for ages and people I'd just met, they all got it and started riffing on it too. It became this hilarious thing that just made everyone laugh, this little shared reference that connected us all.
Pros
  • People I met
  • Teacher Willow's preparation
  • The location of the school
