Program Reviews

The LTL school is really a great school for people to learn Chinese; their learning methods are very efficient to learn fast, basic words and sentences for everyday life. The ambience with the other students was great, and the teachers where very kind while giving good Chinese lessons. The school location is also easily accessible by metro and some restaurants and supermarkets can be found below the school’s building. I was in the teenage group, and every afternoon there were organised visits to all the major tourist sites in and around Beijing, as well as other cultural activities. It was very well organised, well supervised and very interesting. The host family was lovely, very pleasant, and I was very well looked after. What's more, even though they spoke English, discussions were often in Chinese, which allowed me to improve my level even further.

It was a very nice experience at this school, I really recommend it.

I and my sister had studied Chinese at LTL Chengdu for 5 weeks and had a great time! The staff at LTL Chengdu were very nice and friendly. I got to meet Chinese learners from multiple nations. Also, It was great learning Chinese from Ying laoshi. She was enthusiastic, patient and very knowledgeable about Chengdu. The building which LTL Chengdu is located at is very nice. It has a gym, study center and coffee shop which you can go to after class. It’s also only a few minutes away from IFS Chengdu. Would recommend learning Chinese at LTL Chengdu.

My stay in Beijing was better that I could have ever imagined!My homestay was very welcoming and warm, I was given the best food that introduced me to the Chinese kitchen, I even learned how to make dumplings. My teacher, Tara, helped me improve my chinese so much! I went on a few trips with them and they were so fun and I learned so much! For example we went to the summer palace and even though it was hot the atmosphere and the sights made it all worth it! We also went to the Tiananmen sqaure which was beautiful! Even though there was a long queue before, the end was so worth it, seeing the beautiful square!

I sent my 12-year-old son, who speaks both English and Japanese, to study in Beijing. The quality of the teachers was excellent—their teaching skills are strong, they are very supportive, and their ability to speak English fluently made the whole experience worry-free for both parents and children. Beyond the classroom, my son also had the chance to visit historical sites such as the Great Wall, which added a meaningful cultural dimension to his learning. Overall, it was an environment where he could grow academically and personally with confidence. I truly believe this experience will benefit his future, and I am already thinking that I would like to send my children again.

I spent two weeks at LTL Shanghai, I had a great time and made new friends. The school is small but very well organized. I purchased the package that includes both interactive and fun group lessons and individual lessons. My teacher, Jamie, structured the lessons based on my level and needs, and I enjoyed interacting with her. I also stayed with a host family. I was very happy with Lina, who assigned me a room with a private bathroom. Every evening, we also had the opportunity to eat delicious food cooked by the family. The only downside is that the apartment is an hour from the city center and the school, but I think that's normal considering the enormous distances in Shanghai.

LTL is a great place to learn a language. The classes are fun and easy to follow, and you get to practice a lot. Two of the wonderful teachers here are Jamie, who is very patient and explains things clearly, and Anne, who makes lessons lively and interesting. The school also organizes activities so you can use what you’ve learned in real life. It’s a friendly and welcoming place where you can improve quickly. The friendly atmosphere at LTL inspires every student to make daily progress in learning.

Perfect didactics, always helpful in day-to-day issues, not only related to the school, many additional activities are offered.

I have just completed 2 weeks at LTL Beijing. It was great, hard work, but a wonderful experience. My one-to-one tutor Helen, balanced encouragement and challenge so I reached my learning goals. She made all the hard work seem like fun!

The college offers a full programme of optional leisure activities to include the opportunities offered by Beijing. Linda and the whole team were friendly and encouraging. Well done! I am already planning another possible learning adventure with LTL in China!

I can recommend LTL to anyone looking for an immersion learning experience in China

I had a great time at LTL in Beijing and Chengdu! I liked the relaxed athmosphere in Chengdu and the kind and helpful teams. Unicorn was an amazing teacher who helped me learn a lot in a short time, thank you!🫶 With the surcival kit I had a smooth start of the programm and my host family in Beijing was amazing. It was really interesting to get to know some local people in Beijing and the way they live their everyday life. At the schools you can get to know many interesting people from a lot of different countries, the team makes you feel very welcome

This is my third year studying at LTL. I have been to Taipei and Beijing. This time, I came to Beihai, a small city with few foreigners. Everyone I met spoke Chinese to me, which was very helpful for my studies. I really enjoy this immersive learning environment.

I’ve been here for three weeks, and it’s been very amazing. I wish I could stay longer. I love everything here—I’ve made great friends and experienced many things I’ve never done before. I love it , I love it !

Savannah has been very helpful, enthusiastically introducing me to Beihai, arranging excellent teachers and a host family for me. While in Beihai, she took me to rent an electric bike. Renting an electric scooter is essential, as it’s the primary mode of transportation here. Riding an electric scooter allows you to explore Beihai more effectively. We went out to eat delicious local Guangxi cuisine together, visited other host families for meals, and enjoyed barbecues. We went to many interesting places, such as KTV, cupping therapy, swimming at the beach, go karting and drinking at bars. I really enjoyed these activities. There’s a special activity called Mandarin Corner, in this activity, Savannah invites locals to join us for conversations in Mandarin. This is very helpful. During the first week, we went to the beach with locals to practice Mandarin. The sunlight by the beach was so beautiful, and I really enjoyed this activity.

I really like teacher Summer‘s class. I think my teacher is great—knowledgeable and humorous. I'm taking an exam, and her class has been very helpful for my preparation. I also love my host family; they've made me many delicious meals. My host father treats me like his own son, always caring for me. I'm very grateful for their kindness.

If you want to experience a unique Mandarin learning journey, I highly recommend Beihai LTL!
