Forums > Study > Long term self-study in China: what are my visa options?

If you're not familiar with China my advice would be to sign up for school. Then spend a semester finding a language school you would like to teach at. There are plenty of non-native speakers who teach English here. If you speak English well you'll find work once you're here.

Keats is a small private language school. They traditionally did very expensive one-on-one Chinese classes. Then recently they had a promotion for small language classes for 2700 RMB a semester. Last I heard the price for their small classes was around 4,000 RMB, or maybe a little less. I don't remember exaclty.

I enjoyed my intermediate classes at KMUST in the north, but other students said their beginner classes were no better or worse than most places.

My workmates said they enjoyed Keats. I've heard their tuition went up, and the classes are more crowded than before, but they said they were still much better than other private schools.

80 to 100 RMB is on the low side, but it's plenty to live on if you're not a party animal. It's more than plenty to live on if you don't eat out.

A nice 3 to 4 bedroom apartment was around 2,000 to 3,000 RMB a month. Last I checked smaller ones were around 800 to 2,000 depending on how new it was. That was around a year ago though. Inflation is crazy.

Don't teach large classes unless you have no choice. By large I mean more than 15 students. Once you get to know people it's fairly easy to be tutoring 4 or 5 students in small classes on your own and making more money, and most importantly stress free.

I'd say 80% of public schools and private language schools treat their teachers like robots, and it will burn you out.

Huh? How is Yunnan distinctive from rural areas in any other country with a centrally controlled economic system(which is pretty much any "modern and developed" country today)? How is The Brother's Jiang expanding everywhere in Yunnan different from Starbucks trying to expand in Yunnan?

Do you think Iowa has lost its distinctness because of all the Mexican and Chinese restaurants that have opened up? Oh wait, even though they almost all serve the same food, and their suppliers are almost all the same... it's so much better because they all have a different name... cripes, it's just marketing.

You can go to any city in Yunnan and you will see the same products being sold in all of them. What does it matter if the name of the store is in Chinese or in English? Does this somehow prevent you from speaking to the people who work there? Does it stop you from taking your time? It's just a marketing symbol, get over it.

Cheese tasted great. Much better than other pizza joints.

Excellent salad bar. Hamburgers are usually ok. The fancier dishes were a little lacking.

Giving it a 4 stars for the salad bar. If you were going there for "fine dining" then probably best to go somewhere else.

The store also has some nice imported food(though obviously Metro is cheaper for some things). The freshly baked goods are nice too.

Seems to be pretty hit or miss. First time I went there the pizza and hamburgers were great. 2nd time the pizza was terrible, and the hamburger was ok. 3rd time the pizza was ok, but people were smoking inside by the time we left. Guess the no smoking policy is not enforced.

Not bad. Pretty much what you would expect, but expensive for China.

Expensive, but decent bread. Other places are better, but not bad if you're in a hurry.
