One week intensive Chinese classes

I did a one-week intensive Chinese course at Keats and honestly had a great time there. It’s a very focused and intensive program, but it never felt overwhelming. You’re surrounded by Chinese all day, and you can really feel yourself improving as the week goes on.

I had classes with Su laoshi and Wang laoshi, and they were both excellent. They explain things clearly, are very patient, and adapt quickly to what you need. They also make you feel comfortable speaking Chinese, even when you make mistakes. Having two teachers with different teaching styles was actually a big plus.

What I also really liked about Keats is that it’s more than just classes. The food was good, the organized activities were fun and a nice way to practice Chinese in real-life situations, and the Friday dinners were a highlight — relaxed, social, and a great way to connect with teachers and other students. The advisor teachers were also very helpful and supportive, and you really feel that the school cares about your overall experience, not just your classroom hours.

After just one week, my speaking confidence improved a lot, and I learned more than I expected in such a short time. Everything is well organized, and the one-on-one teaching makes a huge difference.

If you’re looking for an intensive but enjoyable way to seriously improve your Chinese, I would definitely recommend Keats.
