Hi All,
Have some plans to start learning Mandarin with the Huayang Language Academy in Lijiang, so need your help, any positive and/or negative feedback about them?

Thanks in advance.

Studying in Huayang Kunming now its very cheap and very good.

Lori is great for helping with Visas, bank accounts etc.

Could be a good idea if they implemented a Chinese language partner idea so we could all practice more

Check it's reviews. Check out Keats reviews.

Could you, please, rub my nose in those reviews, if possible, thanks?!
Since I am not like a duck to water out here maybe there are some other specific locations where I can read them.

You can rub your nose(?) here:

Caveat, I would not expect the same levels of service in smaller cities outside of Kunming, but I would expect the same culture with regard to how customers are treated.

Having gone to both schools in the past, I second the Keats suggestion.

Thanks. What is

your main criteria to second the Keats?

from my experience with them and what I've heard from other people, Huayang (at least in Kunming) is a second or even 3rd rate organisation. Keats is generally thought to be the most professional and well run. You might also consider Mei's Mandarin, I and a few friends have studied there and found it to be a nice relaxed place to learn with some good experienced teachers.

I went to Keats back in 2006. My experience was good. I had one to one classes for a year. Everyone was professional.
