Program Reviews

Underwent a three week program here with the homestay and safari package included and can confidently say this has been the perfect place to improve my Mandarin skills. The staff are wonderful people to work with and the work is rigorous but can be accomplished and I have seen a noticeable improvement since starting here. The safari package is a wonderful addition because it gave me the chance to get out of my comfort zone and use oral communication in real life scenarios that had me appreciating the numerous vocab we learned. I also appreciated the class style that allowed me to hone in on my bad habits and clean up my communication to ensure my point was understood. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone. You will not be disappointed.

LTL Online Flexi Classes is a fantastic way to study a variety of languages from the comfort of your own home. I have taken several courses in both Japanese and Vietnamese and in both courses, the teachers have been encouraging and knowledgeable about their respective subjects. I particularly like the amount of speaking practice that students receive, as that is often difficult to achieve when studying at home. It is also incredibly helpful to have access to the class materials prior to the lessons so that you can preview what you will be learning, along with being able to save the materials as notes for later. Overall, I would definitely recommend these lessons to anyone who wants to learn a language without breaking the bank.

Learning Mandarin in LTL Shanghai was incredible! Three months ago, I was basically lost in class. Everything was in Chinese, and I could only understand maybe 20% at best, but thanks to my amazing teacher (Ms. Evelyn and Ms. Anne), I'm now up to 80% comprehension!

My teacher's teaching style were super chill, but their teaching was on point. They explained everything super clearly, even the tricky grammar stuff, and were always patient with my (probably) super basic questions. Plus, they totally tailored the lessons to what I wanted to learn - in my case, listening comprehension.

Besides, learning Mandarin wasn't just about the language, it totally boosted my confidence! In three months, I went from barely understanding a word to following along in conversations pretty smoothly now. That's a huge jump, and it feels amazing.

The whole experience was awesome. Not just the teaching, but the people too! I met so many cool classmates from all over the world. It was amazing connecting with people from different cultures while we all struggled (and succeeded!) with Mandarin together. If you're looking for a fun, friendly language program in Shanghai with superstar teachers, this is the place! You'll learn tons, make awesome friends, and have a blast while doing it. Definitely recommend!

Learning Mandarin at LTL Taipei was a just what I was hoping for. Their flexible scheduling meant I could fit classes around exploring the city, and their teachers were incredibly supportive in creating a program tailored to my needs. Thanks to LTL, I not only improved my fluency but also rediscovered the joy of learning Chinese while experiencing living in the heart of Taipei.

I am very thankful for the teachers that invested in my learning experience. I felt very taken care of and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future! Thank you LTL for making this such a special and memorable time.

I really enjoyed the experience with LTL.
First of all, the student advisor and the coordinator were always there, making sure I didn't have any problems and whenever I had a question they were ready to answer and help me.
The teachers are so friendly and welcoming, everyone is always ready to have a chat with each other. You can understand a lot of the culture and everyone is willing to help you whenever there is a problem. The activities are always fun and I found them really helpful because you can meet with the other students and make so many friends.

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.

Highly recommend the LTL team; I have been taking both intensive individual and Safari classes for 6 weeks now and have greatly improved my vocabulary and comfort with the language. The instructors and staff are attentive and accommodating and mend the teaching style to beat fit your individual needs.
As an active duty Army Major, Foreign Area Officer, the curriculum was tailored to both my diplomatic requirements as well as daily living and practical application.
Exposure training has boosted my confidence in not only the language but in understanding of the culture and understanding of Vietnamese lifestyles.

This was my first time in China. I decided not to go to a hotspot place like Beijing or Shanghai. It was a good decision.
The places are very local and there are not many places for foreigners. That means that the population of Beihai speaks less english. This is important to know.
On the other hand the people of Beihai are very warmly and welcoming. The daily things like buying in a supermarket could be fun because the people help if you can not handle some things.
The language school is a small school. I had a 1 to 1 course. It is intensiv and in my opinion you learn in another intensity.
The director of the school, Savannah, organized some activities and she help always. If there is a technology problem or general questions.
In conclusion you have to decide on yourself if you want to go to a big city and in a big school. Of course, there are some reasons which speak in favour.
But learning the way of life of the Chinese people in a good way and not in overcrowded places you should visit this nice place in the south of China. Located directly on the beach.
