LTL Language School || Learn Chinese in Taipei

This was my second time back at LTL, and it did not disappoint! Everything is run so well. The administrative staff is friendly and welcoming. The teachers are knowledgeable and patient. I had Sissy as my teacher, and she was incredible. She really took the time to get to know us and kept the lessons interesting. She always found a way to relate each topic back to our lives, which kept me from dozing off during class.

Not to mention, LTL is in Da'an, right between Taipei 101 and Da'an Park. If you've never been to Taiwan before, this is the perfect location — easy access to both metro lines, and it's just a fun, lively place to be.

I highly, highly recommend studying at LTL. I'll absolutely be going back again.

Honestly such a brilliant experience! I have been here for five weeks and have five more to go and I am thoroughly enjoying my time here. Everyone is so inviting and inclusive and there is a really good atmosphere to learn while having fun! I have two wonderful teachers, as-well as other staff that that are super kind who organise awesome events! I was not sure what I was going to expect coming to the centre, but I honestly could not rate it higher. I would definitely consider coming back for another stint.

I stumbled upon this place while visiting Taiwan and decided to spend a couple of weeks working on my Chinese (after getting frustrated that everyone seemed to speak English in and around the hotel I was staying at). It turned out to be a great decision; really welcoming staff (shout out to Greta, Alin and Riona), lots of social activities with friendly students of various ages, levels and backgrounds and an immersive teaching environment, which was absolutely what I needed to give my faltering Chinese a much-needed push. I'm really grateful to both of my teachers, Jessica and Jack, who were both knowledgeable and engaging and were able to adapt my one-to-one time with them to suit my specific language learning needs. I'll definitely pay the Taipei LTL school another visit next time I'm in the country!

I studied for approximately three months at the LTL program in Taipei, taking one-on-one lessons. My teacher, Wei Wei, was a fantastic teacher and would always tailor the lessons to my interests and learning goals. I learned so much from her and am very impressed by the quality of teaching overall.

LTL is special because of the amount of social activities organised by the team. Essentially every day, there was a lunch or social activity / excursion, which allowed students to get to know each other and form community bonds. The atmosphere of the school was very welcoming and happy!

I’ve just spent 2 weeks learning Mandarin with LTL language school in Taipei. I am a returning student having attended classes in Taipei as well as Shanghai. What I love about the school in Taipei is its ability to balance language classes with extra-curricular activities allowing students to experience the local culture. Riona Chen is very good at engaging with students and, among other things, organizing lunches in surrounding areas allowing us the opportunity to try the local delicacies. Meanwhile Greta is there to make sure that the registration process goes smoothly and is always ready to answer any emails promptly. Same with Alin, on site, who is always available to guide you to the right place. With such a team in place along with other members of staff, I always felt welcomed, acknowledged and well cared for. LTL manages to create a sense of belonging and, in offering opportunities to go out in groups, renders the process of connecting with other students easier. While in Taipei, I had two weeks of classes with different teachers: Wolfgang Wu and Shihwei Huang in the first week, Yawen wu and Jialin Wang in the second. In my view, this concept worked well and made the experience very enjoyable and diverse as every tutor would bring in their own style of teaching peppered with their own knowledge and experience of Taiwanese culture. That way, you don’t get bored and get a more rounded view of Taipei and more generally Taiwanese traditions. I really enjoyed my time in the school and feel my Mandarin skills have improved a lot. Being on site allows you to put into practice what you learn in class as soon as you step outside the school. It doesn’t get better than this !!!

I started part-time group classes in April 2026 at beginner level. The material taught is super valuable and immersive! I have always been shy when speaking mandarin, but my teachers Pinwei and Jasmine are boosting my confidence with every lesson. Although my classes are only twice a week, I have learned and retained more material than when trying to study alone without being enrolled in classes!
I absolutely love the social events that happen every week, it’s an easy way for introverts like myself to make new friends and create memorable experiences! Everyone i’ve met here is extremely welcoming and lovely to talk to. I 100% recommend taking classes at LTL Mandarin School in Taipei!

I had an amazing time learning Chinese at LTL Language School in Taipei, and I honestly can’t recommend it enough—especially if you’re a beginner like I was.

I started as an absolute beginner, and the combination of group classes and one on one lessons was perfect for me. The group classes were motivating and fun, and it was great to learn together with others. The 1 on 1 classes really helped me focus on my own pace and personal weaknesses. Looking back, I’d probably go for only 1 on 1 classes in the future, because I feel I’d benefit even more from that level of personal attention.

All the teachers are fantastic. Wolfgang 老師 is just incredible when it comes to Chinese characters—it genuinely feels like he knows everything about them. He explains things in a way that actually makes characters make sense, instead of just asking you to memorize them.

Vivian老師 is super fun and instantly gets you talking. After just a few minutes, you find yourself speaking Chinese, which is incredibly encouraging and makes the lessons feel light and enjoyable rather than stressful.

Jia老師 is full of energy and very persistent—in the best possible way. Her teaching style is absolutely sensational. After the very first day, I already understood how the Pinyin system works, which felt like a huge win. Her classes were intense, motivating, and extremely effective.

Yawen老師 is also a really fun teacher and puts a strong focus on practical, everyday Chinese. Her lessons are incredibly useful for daily life in Taiwan and help you feel more confident using the language outside the classroom.

Behind the scenes, there are the amazing people who really make everything work: Alin, Riona, Greta, and Cherry. They are honestly the magic of LTL. Whenever you have a question or a special request, they always try to make things possible. Everything runs so smoothly because of them, and you always feel well taken care of.

I especially want to highlight Greta, Alin, Riona—they were incredibly quick to respond whenever I needed additional documents or official papers. Whether it was forms, confirmations, or extra paperwork, they just provided everything promptly and clearly, which made the entire process stress free. That kind of efficiency and reliability really takes a lot of pressure off, especially when you’re abroad.

On top of that, LTL organizes lots of fun activities like group lunches, mahjong, and other cultural events, which make learning Chinese much more social and enjoyable. Having lunch with Riona and Cherry was always great—they help students practice real life Chinese, whether it’s ordering the right food, asking the lǎo bǎn for more tea, or getting a little push to ask for the bill 😄.

One thing I really learned during my time at LTL is how important the right environment is when trying to overcome the challenge of learning a new language. Chinese can feel intimidating at first, but being surrounded by supportive teachers, motivated classmates, and a well structured learning setup makes a huge difference. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, you feel encouraged and capable of pushing past mental barriers.

Because of this environment—and the way the program is structured—I made progress much faster than I ever expected. With the provided setup, clear guidance, and consistent practice, I was actually able to finish an entire textbook within just two weeks. That alone shows how effective and focused the learning experience is.

I also chose the homestay package, and it was perfect for me. I was matched with a wonderful family. We talked a lot during dinner, laughed a lot, and simply had a great time together. Living with them taught me so much about daily family life in Taiwan and made the whole experience feel even more special and authentic.

By the end of my stay, I felt more confident speaking Chinese, more comfortable navigating daily life in Taiwan, and genuinely motivated to continue learning.

All in all, LTL Taipei isn’t just a language school—it’s a place where you learn, connect, and grow. With great teachers, an incredibly supportive team, and a motivating learning environment, it’s an ideal place to study Chinese. I’d 100% choose LTL again without hesitation.

Studying at LTL in Taipei is an amazing experience! The teachers are very nice and my Chinese has a lot improved over the past few weeks. I love that we have a lot of activities here: I attended calligraphy, qipao and cooking workshops, and it was really fun and interesting. I also find it nice having lunch together, it is very fun and I discovered so many delicious restaurants!

Everyone at the school is very helpful and I know that I can ask practical questions and advice if I need to. I would recommend LTL!
