First rate Vietnamese language training!

was in Hanoi. The teachers are highly skilled, and the staff takes excellent care of students. In only three weeks, I have gained enough knowledge to continue learning via self-study upon my return home. I recommend both the homestay and Safari options. Living with a Vietnamese family and taking field trips with your teacher will give you cultural insights beyond the classroom. LTL gives lots of bang for the buck. My teacher, Lynette, is patient and very proficient. Manager John is very supportive of students.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Study every day. There’s a lot of material.

From Beginner to Ordering Coffee Like a Pro / Vom Anfänger zu Kaffee bestellen wie ein Profi

I am absolutely thrilled with this language school! Both the group and individual lessons were excellent. As a complete beginner, starting with a new language was initially a challenge, but my teachers Thư and Ân put in an incredible amount of effort. Their patience, dedication, and motivating manner helped me make quick progress and gain confidence.

I especially enjoyed the many small games and role-plays during class. The "Student Safari" was also a great experience! All of this made the lessons incredibly fun, even though 6 hours of language instruction per day is quite intensive.

I can warmly recommend this language school, especially for an educational leave (Bildungsurlaub)!

Original:
Ich bin absolut begeistert von dieser Sprachschule! Sowohl der Gruppen- als auch der Einzelunterricht waren hervorragend. Als völliger Anfänger war der Start mit einer neuen Sprache zunächst eine Herausforderung, aber meine Lehrerinnen Thư und Ân haben sich unglaublich viel Mühe gegeben. Ihre Geduld, Engagement und motivierende Art haben mir sehr geholfen, schnell Fortschritte zu machen und Selbstvertrauen zu gewinnen.
Besonders gut gefallen haben mir die vielen kleinen Spiele und Rollenspiele im Unterricht. Auch die „Student Safari" war ein tolles Erlebnis! All das hat dafür gesorgt, dass der Unterricht unglaublich viel Spaß gemacht hat, auch wenn 6 Stunden Sprachunterricht pro Tag schon sehr intensiv sind.
Ich kann diese Sprachschule, besonders für den Bildungsurlaub, wärmstens empfehlen!

Great time at ltl

Ich hatte eine sehr gute Zeit in der ltl Sprachschule. Ich habe in der kurzen Zeit viel gelernt. Thư war eine sehr gute Lehrerin. Durch die gemeinsamen Mittagessen habe ich viele landestypische Gerichte kennengelernt. Neben dem Unterricht gab es zusätzliche Workshops, die uns die Kultur näher gebracht haben. Neben dem Unterricht gab es die Möglichkeit gemeinsam die Stadt zu erkunden, dass hat Spaß gemacht. Außerdem hatten wir einen Einblick in typische vietnamesische Spiele für Kinder.
Vielen Dank an alle!

I spent a month in Xi'an and loved it!

I'm doing HSK3 as a hobby in my spare time, and chose to travel with LTL to Xi'an for one month during July. LTL Xi'an is an immersion location, meaning they have no localized school – which is perfect for someone like me who prefer learning through one-on-one classes and outside of a classroom! My teacher Yan was extremely experienced with language teaching, very patient and had a great sense of humour throughout my classes. She was great at varying the method of teaching, and quickly adjusted to the level and learning needs I had. I distinctly remember one day I was super tired and told her I had to leave class early and go home, she instead suggested we leave the books for a bit and learn Chinese through watching some Chinese drama – it was the perfect solution to a low-energy day! I also lived with a homestay family, where I really got to know my hostmother. She was super kind and so incredibly helpful, no matter how busy she was she always reached out to me and was there if I needed any kind of help. We bonded over breakfast, over homecooked dinners and meals at restaurants, walking in the neighbourhood, going to the mall, or just sitting and chatting at home. I was mainly practicing speaking, and will forever be thankful for her patience when listening to my broken Chinese haha. If you have a month to spare, some cash laying around, and are keen on learning Chinese while adventuring in a new city – this is the place for you!

Great Mandarin Learning Program!

LTL school has been an amazing organization. We have sent both of our kids to this program, 3 years apart, and their experience was exceptional. Riona Chen was great to work with, and this year our youngest daughter’s teacher Juju, was a delight. The homestay experience was also incredible. They stayed with Liz Hu and family and had an equally memorable and fun time. I was very impressed that all of the teachers and everyone involved with the program remembered us 3 years later! Thank you for being such a great program!

A great Language School

This is my fourth summer studying at LTL Language School in Taipei, and each experience has been truly amazing. All of the teachers—including Sissy, Kate, Tammy Xu, Anqi and Francine, whom I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know—are incredibly dedicated and supportive, and they have helped me make great progress in my language skills. Although I don’t have many opportunities to practise during the rest of the year, I notice a clear improvement every time I return to LTL. It’s a wonderful place to learn, grow, and stay motivated!

The class levels are well organised and I always felt well in my group. If your own language level doesn’t match that of the class, you can easily switch to a different level.

The admin staff – Sunny, Riona and Alin – are very friendly and help with every little thing. This starts right from the preparation for the summer course.

The social events are brilliant and give you the chance to get to know both Taiwanese culture and the other students better.

Would I recommend the LTL School? ABSOLUTELY...

A great three weeks

I really enjoyed taking one-on-one classes at LTL! My teacher, Valerie, was so knowledgeable, made the learning environment very welcoming, and taught me so much. I enjoyed the one-on-one format as I got so many chances to practice speaking and customize the learning.

There was no shortage of social and cultural events. Activities ranged from field trip to historical sites, cat cafes, Indonesian street to calligraphy, traditional games, and making traditional desserts. Sunny was amazing at being the coordinator for all the social events.

Thank you for a great three weeks!

Making Chinese Fun & Memorable! ⭐️

I’ve had such a great experience learning Chinese at this school and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to study Chinese in Taiwan! A big part of that is my teacher, Pinwei. She is incredibly funny, patient, and encouraging, and she always motivates us to keep learning, even when Chinese feels difficult. I especially love the creative ways she comes up with to help us remember new vocabulary and Chinese characters. Her funny stories, examples, and drawings always stick in my head and make learning so much more enjoyable! She also often brings little snacks for us, which makes the classes feel even more welcoming and personal. 😊

The school itself also organizes lots of different events and activities, which is a great way to meet other students, practice Chinese outside the classroom, and learn more about Taiwanese culture. The whole atmosphere is very friendly and supportive, and I always look forward to coming to class. I’m really happy I chose to study Chinese here! ❤️

Great place to learn language!

Great place to learn language!
I've been attending group class after work for 4 month, and I enjoy it so far. My teacher Pinwei is very energetic, suitable to sleepy evening classes. Other teachers and staffs are also very nice!

LTL TAIPEI!!!!

I spent 10 weeks at LTL Taipei and I cannot recommend it enough! My Chinese has improved tenfold in such a short time and everyone was extremely welcoming and helpful throughout the entire process. Big shout outs to Alin and Greta for organising everything, Riona and Sunny for the social events where I met some amazing people and a special think you to my teachers Jia Lao Shi and Wei Lao Shi! They were the best! I will definitely be back and can't recommend it enough. The social events were a definite highlight! Would recommend for solo travellers as you'll definitely meet some lifelong friends!
