My awsome experience in Chengdu

I spent two weeks studying Chinese at LTL Chengdu, and I honestly had an amazing time. It was my second time there, and I already know that I want to come back again.

I am still a beginner, and vocabulary is the hardest part for me. Sometimes I knew what I wanted to say but could not find the right words. Panpan was always very patient and made sure I never felt bad or embarrassed about it. She helped me express myself and made me feel like a real part of the class.

I also loved that our lessons were not only about Chinese. We talked about life in China, cultural differences, geography, food and many other things. These discussions were probably my favourite part because they helped me understand China in a much more personal way. Panpan is very kind, funny and definitely the right person to be a teacher!!!!!!

One of the best moments was our trip to a small mountain city with Panpan and my classmates. It was extremely fun, and seeing the Chinese countryside was something that had been on my bucket list for a long time.

I also really enjoyed spending time with Teacher Ying, Unicorn, Alex and Stiles. They were all super kind, and I felt like I could tell them anything. I loved talking, eating and spending time with them, and they made my experience at LTL much more special.

The whole school has a very friendly atmosphere. I met people from all over the world, made new connections and hopefully some friends for life. I especially enjoyed going for lunch or dinner together after school. I was on the group class plan, so I still had at least half of the day to explore Chengdu.

I learned a lot during these two weeks, but the friendships and memories are probably what I will remember the most. For me, learning Chinese in China is definitely the most effective and enjoyable way to do it.
