Program Reviews

I had an amazing time during my time with LTL in Singapore. My teacher - Zhang Laoshi - and the program director - Margot - worked tirelessly to ensure that I had the highest quality stay and education possible. The ensured that they guided me around the city as well during my free time. Taking advantage of all the free time and immersing me deeper into the surrounding culture. I would rate the LTL experience as a 50/10 and think everyone should have this opportunity. The LTL community is one that is truly outstanding! I can not say enough great things about them!

When I was searching for a language school, I did a lot of research, and LTL turned out to be the best choice I could have made. Before arriving, I was a little skeptical because everything seemed almost too perfect. However, in the end, everything was exactly as promised, and even better!

I chose Beihai because I wanted a deeper cultural experience, and it offered the best value for a long-term program. Now, I absolutely love both Beihai and the LTL school. I’m living with an amazing homestay family who have already become close friends.

The school director, Savannah, is always there to support students and organizes incredible trips, while my teacher, Summer, helps me improve my Mandarin with a patient and friendly approach that keeps me highly motivated.

So far, I can wholeheartedly recommend LTL and Beihai to anyone who’s thinking about learning Mandarin!

LTL Singapore was an amazing place to improve my Chinese. All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They truly want students to succeed and create an environment accommodating to learners of all levels. I loved all of the immersive language activities, especially cooking dumplings and playing Mahjong. The hardest part about learning Chinese in Singapore is that everyone in the country speaks English, but studying at LTL will make you forget that by engaging you in plenty of exciting and motivating activities. I highly recommend this program!

Even though I booked my training on very short notice LTL was possible to accomodate me quite alright!

Pickup from the airport, homestay, school and teachers where all reasonably troublefree, even though it is strongly recommended to have a really good understanding of English, as the books and teachers will have to expected you to understand English explanations!

LTL offers very friendly an helpful assistance, providing at least two social activities additional to multiple shared lunches per week.

Highly recommended, and a lot of fun - even though learning can become quite intense and taxing!

My time with LTL Chinese Singapore was nothing short of magical. Staff were friendly and supportive, and although our time together was short, it felt like a family with them. They listened to what our challenges with Chinese were and helped curate the program specifically to those needs. I am grateful for the experience and would definitely learn with them again! Overall, the program helped me practice my Chinese in a real world setting with helpful teachers and buddies to provide a stress free environment

My sister and I didn’t book a course and came in the first day we wanted a lesson since we didn’t plan our trip much in advance. However, the staff helped us both and succeeded getting us each a private teacher.

The teachers were really good and we learned a lot. I started as a complete beginner and my lessons contained of a lot of new words combined with my teacher asking questions in Vietnamese and helping me answer them in Vietnamese. When I didn’t understand she wrote them up and translated the words I didn’t understand.

The first day we had lunch with the team and two other students which was really nice.

The course is definetly worth it if you want to improve your Vietnamese fast and is okay with the price. We enjoyed our week a lot.

I only have good words for LTL Taipei. Riona and Ailin are very helpful and they welcome every new student. I like the activities they organize and of course the Chinese classes, I want to mention the teacher Sissi who has been my best teacher so far. An amazing experience I recommend to everyone who wants to live in Taipei for a while and also learn Chinese. If you have any problem they help you a lot and they care about you and you don’t feel that lonely abroad. Thanks again, Riona for the time you spend with the students and how much you really care!

I studied at LTL Saigon and stayed at the homestay for 5 weeks in early 2025. I originally was only going to do 3 weeks but it was so much fun I kept extending. Everyone at LTL was so welcoming and through the suggestions from my teacher and other LTL staff I was introduced to opportunities in Saigon I wouldn't have known about otherwise. The location of the school was good and I enjoyed the short walk to school every morning from the homestay. I would definitely recommend LTL Saigon to anyone looking learn/improve their Vietnamese.

I stayed in Saigon for two weeks and learned Vietnamese to immerse myself in the culture here. I was surprised by how friendly everyone was to me, my teacher, the staff, and the host family in my homestay. I got to try many new things, including good food and new experiences, also on some short trips with my teacher. The classes are small and super interactive, which makes it easy to actually speak Vietnamese instead of just memorizing grammar. My teacher is patient, funny, and always finds creative ways to explain the tricky pronunciation and tones for me.

Highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn Vietnamese effectively in a fun, supportive environment.

I had an amazing experience studying at LTL School in Saigon. From the very first day, the staff and teachers were welcoming, professional, and always ready to help. The small group classes were ideal for improving my speaking skills and getting personal feedback from the teacher. Each lesson was well-structured, engaging, and adapted to our level, which made learning Vietnamese both fun and effective. I could see clear progress in just a few weeks. The friendly atmosphere at the school also made it easy to meet new people, share experiences, and stay motivated. I would definitely recommend LTL to anyone who wants to learn Vietnamese seriously while enjoying their time in Saigon.
