LTL Language School || The Ultimate Chinese Immersion Program

The Chengde program is a full immersion one. There is no English and your entire social life will be Chinese. The town is vibrant and the people are friendly so I learned a priceless amount of Chinese language and culture. I’ve danced, I’ve sang I’ve played ping-pong, met a lot of very different people and made friends I hope I keep for a long time.
To fully take advantage of what the program has to offer, I suggest you already have a survival level of Chinese before going.

I had an amazing time at LTL Language school undertaking an intensive language course as well as a homestay with family for 4 weeks. All 4 of my teachers were very knowledgable and offered variety in strengths and experiences. My overall experience was well managed by Mandy who was very attentive to my experience and questions and needs.

My Homestay family I was placed in was exceptional, providing meals every day, friendly, attentive to my whereabouts and movements and lovely and accepting children. They provided extra curricular cultural experiences on weekends and weeknights.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this school and experience to anyone.

I really loved studying at LTL. I think that I got one of the best teachers. Presli was always kind to me. We have improved my Chinese much. I developed my listening and speaking skills. Presli took me to lunch every day and other events where we could practice Chinese and immerse into Sichuan culture. We have visited QingCheng mountains where we found many picturesque views for taking breathtaking photos. I really loved this place. Despite this is the mountains, this place is very urbanised and you can get, for example, fresh water almost every 150 meters.

Learning Chinese in Beihai for two months was an enriching experience! In the first few weeks, I have learned the basics of Pinyin. Not only that, the structured lessons coupled with practical applications in daily interactions facilitated my rapid progress. Moreover, the welcoming and supportive community of friends and teachers fostered a nurturing environment where cultural exchange flourished, enhancing both my language skills and personal connections. Overall, my time in Beihai was not just about learning Chinese, but also a holistic immersion into the authentic China experience.

I have been with LTL Shanghai now since mid of 2020, when I was living in Shanghai. Starting with f2f with our teacher in 2 on 1 session. Since I continued on my own, I chose to have the 1 on 1 session, which I now have online due to I moved back to Germany in August 2022. Very satisfied with my teacher, which is the same one since day one and the staff at LTL is also great. Quick feedback if you have any question. Keep going like that, LTL!
Really appreciate your program and it really helped me a lot to improve my Chinese.

I am writing this review to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible experience I had at your Mandarin school and for the opportunity to immerse myself in the vibrant culture of your city.My time at LTLwas truly enriching. The dedication and expertise of the teachers, coupled with the engaging curriculum, made learning Mandarin a exciting journey. From mastering basic greetings to confidently holding conversations, I have acquired valuable language skills that will undoubtedly stay with me for a lifetime. The supportive environment made by the staff made my classes enjoyable and productive.

Beijing is a very beautiful city and the teachers and administrators at the Beijing campus were very professional and they helped me a lot. I was not used to Beijing at first, but Linda and Jane invited me to participate in all kinds of activities, which helped me to adapt to the life in Beijing. Beijing is definitely a city worth exploring, with many parks and attractions, all full of Beijing flavor. I especially recommend the Beijing roast duck, which is an absolute must-see when you go to Beijing.

Beyond the classroom, exploring Beihai’s beautiful scenery, savoring its delectable cuisine, and experiencing its rich history and traditions have left a mark on me. From the fascinating landmarks to the hidden gems tucked away in its alleys, every moment spent in Beihai was a delightful adventure. I am grateful for the warm hospitality extended to me throughout my stay. Your dedication to providing an amazing educational experience, combined with the warmth and friendliness of the local community, made my time in Beihai unforgettable. Please convey my deepest appreciation to the LTL team for their hard work and dedication. I am immensely grateful for the transformative experience I had, and I will cherish the memories of my time spent learning Mandarin and exploring Beihai. Thank you once again for everything.

P.S a special thank you to Savannah for all the help in Beihai.

My time in Beihai was simply great. I would have loved to stay longer because it was so much fun. The language school looks after you really well and you always have someone to talk to if you have any problems. If unexpected situations do arise, you can always turn to someone from the team for help. No matter whether you are trying to cancel a Didi trip or need new accommodation. No matter what language level you have, the stay is absolutely recommendable. In 4 weeks, I feel that my Chinese has already improved and I am much less afraid to speak to locals. The only thing you should take in mind is that Chinese standards are different from western culture. But you can get used to that. You will meet a lot of awesome people and will share the best time of your life with them :)
I can only recommend LTL.

Although I only spent two weekends in Beihai, life here is really great. I was warmly welcomed by the Beihai team, thanks to Savannah for helping me when I needed it, and my host family brought me to meet very interesting people. I've met a lot of interesting people here and seen a lot of interesting new things.The food in Beihai was delicious and the Cantonese morning tea was very good, I loved it.I highly recommend the snacks in Beihai. Lastly, I love the beaches of Beihai, the sand is fine and soft!
