We often get asked by hopeful Keats students what the best way to learn Mandarin is. While there are many different ways to learn to speak Chinese, the absolute best way is to live abroad in China and study Mandarin at a Mandarin language school.
So, you’ve decided that you’ll be studying Mandarin in Kunming, China, but have you decided what you want to see while you’re in Kunming? Kunming is a beautiful city and is the capital of China’s southern province of Yunnan.
Applying for a Chinese student visa is one of the biggest processes in terms of studying abroad. Not only does the China study visa requirements change throughout the years, but the process does take a bit of time.
Yunnan is a province in southwestern China known for its beautiful landscapes and diverse citizens. The province is situated in a mountainous area with high elevations in the northwest and lower elevations in the southwest. More than 45 million people called Yunnan home.
By now you’ve probably heard that Mandarin is the most spoken language in the world and is the top language you should learn as a professional.
There are many Chinese language course scholarships available out there, it’s about finding the right one for you.
Saving money when you’re studying abroad is a must. We know that it’s already expensive to pack up your life and move across the world for your education.
When picking your A+ Mandarin language school in China, there are a lot of things to consider. Where’s it located?
One of the biggest fears about studying abroad is feeling homesick and missing your home comforts. At Keats, we understand this is a huge factor when it comes to applying to study Mandarin in China.
Homesickness is the distress caused by being away from home. It’s when your thoughts fill up with memories from home, loved ones and nostalgic memories.
All my classmates stay together for one year and we improved so much! The teachers at Keats are all very great. They like to organize a lot of activities to help us learn Chinese. I like Keats! I like Kunming!
I found Keats School and I am so glad that I did. When you learn Chinese in China at Keats, you are fully being taken care of. My teacher is really great and we become lovely friends.
I can’t tell you how much I liked it. The thing I liked about the teachers and the teaching method is that there is so much flexibility. The other thing I liked about the teaching is the combination of classic textbook learning and going outside. I loved it! I like getting to know other students. Everybody shared the same goal and that’s making their Chinese better. Kunming is a big city, but it is very safe to live here. Another thing I liked about Keats is the idea that people here help you. I can’t recommend it enough. I think it was a valuable experience. Looking forward to coming back!
I come to Kunming because I think the environment in Kunming is better and I heard that Keats School is better.

I’ve had an amazing time at Keats. I am amazed at how much I’ve learned over the last 3 weeks and I will be really sad to go. We are already planning on our next trip of coming back because we had such a fantastic time here. They really tailor the Chinese language course to you and your individual needs.
I think the Chinese learning environment here is great. The teaching methods are also very interactive and fun. What I particularly enjoy here is the fact that my teacher does not stick to the textbook. We spend a lot of time discussing general topics, such as Chinese culture, world news, typical expressions used by local people. We also discuss social and economic topics.
I really enjoy studying Chinese in Kunming at Keats. The teachers are great and my classmates are awesome. It is an unforgettable experience for me. I also got the chance to travel to other places in Yunnan. Those places are amazing and you definitely need to visit these places when you study Chinese in China at Keats.
