Amazing First Time in Mainland China

I have been taking online classes with Keats for over 5 years, and have spent well over 2 years with Pi-laoshi. i was so happy to finally meet her in person and truly experience life in Kunming. Our lessons are always fun, relevant, and challenging. Additionally, Pi-laoshi was always available for questions related to navigating daily life as a foreigner in mainland China. At her recommendation I visited Cuihu lake, the Botanical Garden, Heilongtan, and a number of beautiful cafes and bookstores, all of which I was able to visit with the language skills she helped me develop to ask for directions, make small talk with locals, and navigate the public transit system.

Additionally, the extracurriculars and events at Keats make our learning experience even more meaningful. Keats offers living accommodations as well as daily meals for all of their students, which is not only thoughtful but fosters student camaraderie. Kunming is such a beautiful city and for anyone who is interested in visiting while also learning Chinese I highly recommend the Keats school program.

Thank you Pi-laoshi and thank you Keats school for this wonderful experience. I only wish that we could have shared more time together!
