I'm planning on studying in Konall Culture Exchange (KCE) in Shijiazhuang for a few months to learn Chinese. I've seen one forum thread on it here, but it's outdated (2006), so I'd really appreciate if I could get more recent comments on this school, specifically regarding the speed of learning progress, quality of teaching, quality of classrooms / learning facility, and teaching materials / curriculum used. Although affordable, it's pricier compared to universities and other private language schools in China, so I really want to make sure I'm investing my money in the right place. Thank you! Quote

He said that the good side was that people in the area spoke Mandarin as their main language, unlike in other areas where the language spoken was a different dialect so you couldn’t really learn by listening. The teachers were okay too according to him. He had a couple of complaints though, including that the teaching facilities were poor (not surprised though because Shijiazhuang itself is pretty poor compared to other places in China) and that it got pretty boring really fast since there weren’t many activities for the students to meet. The guy wouldn’t stop WeChatting us because he was so lonely lol. Overall though I guess it was a decent school but you can probably find better options. Quote
