Best 3-week Mandarin Study

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.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
As part of practicing oral communication, I had to interview strangers in Mandarin and I was super nervous to do so. The people I asked though were super helpful and helped improve my confidence in speaking the language.
Pros
  • Accessible
  • Affordable

LTL Online Flexi Classes is a fantastic way to study a variety of languages from the comfort of your own home.

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.

What was the most unfamiliar thing you ate?
I came across something called chou tofu, also known as stinky tofu. The name is pretty accurate - the smell can definitely be...interesting! But as you discovered, the smell doesn't tell the whole story. Once you take a bite, the strong smell disappears, and it actually tastes quite good! So its a lesson dont judge a food by its smell/looks, go for it to try! hahaha
Pros
  • Good teacher
  • Made a lot of new connections
  • Activities every week
Cons
  • A bit pricey
  • Homestay house can be a lil dirty

I felt well taken care of and given personalized 1:1 treatment.

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.

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I loved all of the small "safari" trips we did in the city. It was such a great way to get to know Taipei and the other class mates. It was always easy to show up to the school and find out what you would explore the next time!
Pros
  • individualized tutoring and programs
  • clean and well taken care of facility
  • group lunches and other relationship building experiences
Cons
  • I wish the school was a bit bigger (more class rooms)
  • The lunch table was a bit too small, if a group was playing a game there you could not easily sit as well
  • I wish they had a bit more video content online to better show what the program would be like

The experience I was looking for

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.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just enjoy the experience and wherever you go just try to get lost without looking at the maps on your phone, you will discover so many interesting places

Amazing Experience in Beihai

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.

Intensive Individual and Safari Classes

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.
