A Very Good Review

KEATS is a great program that I would recommend to anyone who wants a in-country Chinese language program. Before I signed up, I saw several good reviews online and perused the school’s very professional website. The only aspects with which people said they were dissatisfied were the food and some of the accommodations. I saw no criticism of the Chinese program from former students, and since this was my main priority, I signed up and I wasn’t disappointed. (For what it’s worth, in my opinion that the food and lodging were very nice.)

My teacher, Ms. Zhou was very informative and helpful in every way. From the beginning of the course, I wrote some example sentences with the new vocabulary, and she was always willing to read through whatever I had written and offer corrections, which helped me learn a lot.

Keats’s Kunming location is an ideal place to take a Chinese language course not only because of the city’s year-round spring weather but also because of the school’s proximity to the city’s greatest attractions. Keat’s is conveniently situated in the middle of the city, right next to a subway station and is close to lots of different attractions, including a teahouse that I had the pleasure of visiting. They had an abundance of flavors that would entice anyone, many different teas and a peaceful atmosphere.

I visited the local night market several times just to buy things and to see the nightlife. The night market has lots of different kinds of food and tea. I would recommend it to anyone. I made friends not only with other students in the program but also a few Kunming locals, and the impression they made will stay with me for a long time.

The art gallery in Kunming has some really beautiful artwork, including big murals and some highly realistic oil paintings.

Really, Keats is an excellent program that I woul recommend to anyone with an interest in Chinese language. If you want to learn Chinese in a good, exciting environment, Keats is the right place.
