I should get in touch with an old colleague but I never knew his e-mail address, maybe any of you language teachers is working with him these days. His English name is Jed Li.
I worked with him in 2011 at YunDa, it would be great if you could pass on his e-mail in a private message.
Thanks a bunch!
Hi,
I would like to learn Japanese or Korean while in Kunming. I've seen ads for language schools around town. Has anyone ever tried them?
My Chinese is good enough that I would be able to understand Chinese instructions. So I'm not worried about that, I am worried about the quality of education. (We've all met shabby local teachers of the English language.) Did your teacher speak decent Korean or Japanese? Are there schools that teach the real spoken language rather than how to pass the test?
If you've taken classes in another language (like Thai, Khmer or Burmese) I'd be happy to hear your experiences too.
here is some more info on the court and their rules.
The address: 昆明市环城西路42号
It's opposite the sports hall with the pointy roof, walk past the outdoor exercise area and the parking lot until you see a vine covered 壁球馆。
You should wear shoes with white soles, if you don't have any you can rent them for 5 kuai an hour.
Yes, Ben81, they have rackets. Rent is free, but you need to put down a 300 kuai deposit for a pair. One racket is also 300. They're strict about this.
A court is 30 an hour with a discount card, 35 without. If I'm there we'll use mine, you can buy your own if you're planning to play a lot.
Their number is 5323024, they're open from 8 in the morning to 10 at night.
We're playing tonight (Wednesday the 11th) at 8, I can play Saturday afternoon too (after 3:30).
