Two months' study at Keats School in Kunming

My time at Keats School in Kunming was a genuinely immersive and focused language experience. Living and studying in the same place made daily life extremely convenient and allowed me to structure my time entirely around learning. The single-room accommodation was comfortable and quiet, making it easy to rest, review material, and stay focused throughout the program.

The teachers were highly dedicated and very good to work with. One-on-one lessons were closely tailored to my level, weaknesses, and learning goals rather than following a fixed syllabus. Teachers were patient, attentive, and consistently responsive to feedback, with a strong emphasis on actively using new vocabulary and sentence structures in conversation. This approach significantly improved both my accuracy and confidence.

Kunming is an ideal place to study Chinese. Unlike larger cities such as Shanghai or Beijing, English is far less commonly used, which created a more authentic immersion environment. The city’s relaxed pace and liveable atmosphere made daily language practice feel natural and rewarding.
