Student Review:
"I think Keats School has the best Chinese language program in China. My teacher at Keats was the best one I have ever had (in 3 years).

She is able to modify her language level to my language level- this is the most important thing for me, because I feel encouraged to use Mandarin more...

Everything is available in the Keats School building. It is conveniently located; all of the staff are warm and friendly. I like the way that we are always encouraged to speak Chinese."

Konall Culture Exchange, Shijiazhuang

Located in Shijiazhuang (just 2 hours by train south of Beijing), KCE offers fully-accredited, intensive one-to-one programs in the Mandarin language, Chinese culture, and history. 

Shijiazhuang is the capital and largest city of North China's Hebei Province, and is an ideal location for total Mandarin immersion due to a lack of foreign influence which has resulted in an undiluted culture and language environment.

KCE specializes in providing customized Mandarin instruction, and our programs are the most comprehensive and robust available.

Our instructors are hand-picked and fully certified. Our students often comment that they love the family atmosphere around campus.

"My stay at Konall Culture Exchange (KCE) was everything that I expected. The teaching was really good, and the teachers care about their students.

By the end of three weeks of intensive classes (about 15 days of four hour classes) I was having short conversations with people in Mandarin. That came only after hard, frustrating work in class, and bold practice outside of class, but it was exciting.

I am convinced that the best way to learn a language is what KCE does best: intensive, one-on-one, daily immersion in a distraction-free environment at a highly competitive price."
