If I choose a 2-week Chinese course in Kunming + 1-week tour, how is it organized? Course before, trip afterwards?
You can design your own Chinese language course + Tour program. For example, you can do a 2-week course and then a 1-week tour, or you can do 1-week course, and then 1-week travel, and then 1-week course, and then 1-week travel (still 2 weeks of course + 2 weeks of travel). You can do the combination at your preference.
For the Chinese language course, you can choose to study for 4 hours/day or 6 hours/day of intensive one-on-one Chinese immersion classes from 1 week to 52 weeks. For the tours in China, you can choose multiple tour packages. You can decide when to take the tours during the program.
Is it learning Mandarin while touring or is it one week learning and then touring after?
The Chinese language course + Tour program is a program that combines the intensive one-on-one Chinese course with trips, but you are not taking them together. You can choose to study Chinese in Kunming or at other locations with 4 or 6 hours per day of Chinese lessons, then you can take a 1-week tour after the Chinese language program finishes. The Chinese lessons and the tours are separate, but you can decide when to take the tour. For example, if a student takes a Chinese language course for 8 weeks + 1-week tour, he/she can decide when to take the tour. For example, he/she can take the tour after 4 weeks of Chinese lessons, then take another 4 weeks of lessons after the tour, or he/she can take the 1-week tour after 8 weeks of one-on-one Chinese lessons.
We offer multiple 1-week tour packages, so you can also choose to do multiple tours if you to travel to all these places.
I don’t know when to take the tour, does Keats have some suggestions?
If you are a short-term student who studies less than 4 weeks, you can take the 1-week tour after you finish your one-on-one Chinese lessons in Kunming or at other locations. In this way, you can practice what you have learned in the classroom during the trip because you will be accompanied by a Keats Chinese teacher during the trip.
If you are a long-term student who studies for more than 4 weeks, we can arrange the tours during the middle of your Chinese program. Now you can have a break from your Chinese lessons by taking wonderful tours in China. The tours will make you refreshed and re-energized and get you ready for your second part of Chinese lessons. Here is a sample schedule:
Chinese lessons for 10 weeks –> Tour for 1 week –> Chinese lessons for another 10 weeks –> Tour for another week
Are the meals included?
The 3 meals a day are offered Monday to Friday when you take Chinese classes at Keats Kunming Campus.
The price includes breakfast when you travel. The price does not include lunch or dinner when you travel because you will have many options to choose from.
