Two months of immersion in Yangshuo

I stayed at Omeida for two months, in September and October, and I really loved my lessons there. I learned a lot during my time at the school. The classes offered plenty of opportunities to speak Chinese, which helped me significantly improve my level. Of course, not every teacher’s teaching style will suit everyone, but whenever I wanted to adjust something about my lessons, the staff was always happy to help and quick to resolve any issues.

Besides the classes, there is so much to do in and around Yangshuo. I rented a scooter for the two months I was there, which really allowed me to explore the area easily and go wherever I wanted, so I would definitely recommend doing that (besides joining the school activities of course!) It was also so fun to meet the other students, there are people from all over the world of all different ages, so there are always people around to hang out with, to explore, or to play games with at school.

The language partner program that the school offers is also great. My language partner helped me out a lot in the beginning, not just with practicing my Chinese but also by showing me around Yangshuo and introducing me to her favorite restaurants and other places.

All in all, I definitely recommend going to Omeida to study Chinese. And last but not least, shoutout to the lovely little café in the student lounge :)
