Program Reviews

I only stayed 1 month in Omeida, but it was one of the most interesting and thrilling experiences of my life.

I chose Yangshuo because I thought that it could be easier to get involve in real chinese life in a small town, and I was right. I felt safe, welcomed and with a whole new world in front of me to be discovered.
And Omeida was the perfect school to complete my adventure. Excellent teachers willing to help you in every aspect of your learning process, competent staff always available, friendly colleagues to practice, and most important, chinese colleagues studying english looking forward to sharing experiences with you.

I met fantastic people for all over the world, learnt some chinese and gather amazing memories for several lifetimes :-)

The staff was very helpful. Yangshuo is a great place to learn Chinese but do not want to spend hours commuting in a polluted city to get anywhere. I met a lot of other very friendly students, with whom I often went out in the evenings or for excursions (bike riding in the beautiful countryside) on the weekends. The school also has an English section, and you can have language exchanges with the students there. Whether you have more contact with them will depend on you and your language partner.
I have already booked another course there!

After finishing my short-term contract in a hotel, I decided to leave Spain for three months in order to learn some mandarin (my biological parents language). That was my first adventure out of home; and alone! I was quite scared of what would I find in a place with such a different culture and language and which wasn't popular as big crowded cities like Shanghai or Beijing. After coming back I can just say one thing: that was the best choice I could have ever done :) I came across with amazing teachers, amazing people and amazing surroundings (not amazing weather, though). Teachers will become your friends as well as your language partner and other people from all over the world who is having the same experience as you. I will definitely repeat it and hope to be back there within a year!!

我学过两次在Omeida，第一次我学过一个星期，第二次我学过一个月.
阳朔是一个很帮的地方. 在Omeida，学生和老师可以一起去玩，很有意思. Omeida的餐厅有很好吃的中国猜. Omeida的学生可以住在宿舍还是自己的卧室. 我很高兴认识Omeida. 谢谢Omeida :)

- I have been to Omeida twice, the first time I studied for one week, the second time, I studied for one month. Both times I was satisfied fully. Yangshuo is an amazing place, and Omeida helped me appreciate it. The food is not bad and you can chose your accommodation from living with a roomate in the dormitory to a private accommodation.
I am glad to have been to Omeida, Thank you Omeida :)

- J'ai étudier le mandarin à Omeida deux fois, et J'ai été completement satisfait les deux fois. J'y ai passé une semaine pour la première fois, puis un mois pour la deuxième. Yangshuo est magnifique, et Omeida m'a aidé à l'apprécier. La bouffe n'est pas mal et tu peux choisir le logement du dormitoir à l'appartement privé.
Je suis ravi d'avoir été à Omeida, merci Omeida :)

- He estudiando Chino a Omeida dos veces. La primera vez, he pasando allí una semana. La segunda, un mes. Me quedé completamente satisfecho en ambas ocasiones. La comida no está mal, y usted puede elegir su alojamiento. Me alegro de haber estado allí. Gracias Omeida :)

Omedia Language College is set in the beautiful landscape of Yangshou Karst mountain peaks. The staff and students are very helpful and friendly. Most weekends are packed full of fun and adventure. You can easily make friends and the students can help you practice your Chinese. The lessons are great and the teachers are adaptable to your learning needs.

I started studying Chinese with a survival Chinese course in April 2010. It was a great experience, and it let me decide to continue studying Chinese at Omeida. In the meantime I've been to Yangshuo (Guilin) more than ten times. Teacher's teaching method and patience have helped me to pass the Chinese proficiency exam HSK 3, and my next challenge is HSK 4. I'm very glad to have found this academy, and I'll not stop learning there. The beautiful environment, friendly and helpful teachers and Omeida staff, all this let me feel happy when being there. At the same time I've known more about Chinese culture and way of life. Calligraphy courses, learning Chinese songs, how to prepare Chinese tea, paper cutting, and much more is offered - of course at no addtitional fee.
If you want to know more about my experience with Omeida, don't hesitate to contact me using Omeida's address. I'm German native.

I spent 2 weeks in Yangshuo at Omeida and it was really a very good time. I will for sure come back there. All the teachers are qualified, very friendly and helpful. I can say that during those two weeks we really became friends. There were a lot of opportinities to speak chinese: not only during classes but also in the afternoon and in the evening. The school gave me not only simple chinese classes but I also had the opportunity to learn a lot about Chinese culture, Chinese food, Chinese way of living. Two years ago I studied Chinese in one of Beijings schools - there is nothing to compare. Omeida winns in all aspects. Everyone who wants to learn Chinese, meet nice people and make chinese friends should go there. Thank you Omeida.

I have been going to Omeida Chinese Academy to learn Chinese in Yangshuo for a coupe of years now. I started going on Saturdays for three hours a week when I was training at a local Taiji school then in 2013 I took on a 6 week course and then followed that with another 6 week course in the spring of 2014. So I am a bit of a regular. One thing I would say is that the staff are amazing and extremely helpful. Its also very social and you can spend time with the staff and other students outside of class time. In fact Yangshuo there are plently of things to do from restaurants to cycling, climbing, canoeing the list is endless. But importantly, and the main reason i go back there is because the standard of teaching is very high and the staff personalise the lessons for you. For example, I am an awkward customer since I don't want to lear characters just yet. None the less they accomodate this desire and we work soley on oral Chinese/ I would throroughly reccomend Omedia Chinese Academy to anyone seeking a live in school to study Chinese.
