I learned a lot in a great city

The quality of instruction was good and the staff are very friendly and helpful. My instructor, Unicorn, is patient, flexible and able to explain things in English.

Chengdu is very easy to get around and the local folks are helpful and nice. I have only been to Chengdu, Beijing, and Shanghai in China. But if I had to choose between the three I would choose Chengdu for its livability, great parks, neighbourhoods, and more laid back atmosphere.

Good Luck learning Mandarin and about Sichuan and China.

Pros
  • Great instruction
  • Great food and drink
  • Very livable city. I was sad having to leave.

1 month in Beihai

I've been in Beihai for a month now and have the intensive individual programme with 6 hours a day. Personally, I think that's a bit too much, but it's definitely doable. However, if you also want to explore and experience a lot outside of school during the week, then it's a bit much.
The city is very quiet and it's a lot of fun to drive around with the scouts. Of course there aren't as many sights as in Beijing, but so far I've never got bored. The staff at the school always go out of their way to find new excursions. My personal highlights so far have been colouring clothes, making lanterns and of course all kinds of eating out (you can always trust Savanna's recommendations). I made friends with the other students very quickly. Everyone is very nice and helpful.
Besides I really enjoyed my evening walks on the beach.
I am also very happy with my two teachers. Summer is always very well prepared and I think I have made good progress thanks to her. I also had a lot of fun with Vicky and practised speaking a lot.

I can definitely recommend the school!

LTL is amazing and I would recommend to anyone!

Personally, I trust reviews to help me decide on a variety of decisions, especially when travelling to new places. That is why I am writing this review to encourage you to come to LTL Taipei. I have been here for three months and truly everyday has been a joy. The staff here are a special group of people who really really care about you as a student and as a person. They work everyday day to ensure your education, your living situation, and your extracurricular needs are met in order to enjoy the experience of being a language student in another country. My teachers Willy, Tammy, Sabrina, and JuJu have been absolutely wonderful to work with. They each love teaching with their own methods, and they each know how to make class fun, interesting, and effective at any level! Overall, I am so grateful I found LTL and I will definitely be back.

I can highly recommend LTL Beijing

I stayed at LTL Beijing for a month in summer 2024 to study Mandarin

-The school was helpful throughout our experience with them, including the Visa application process, where we got a lot of support, including the Visa type and application time
-Contact with the school was very good starting from enrolment
-A lot of information was provided regarding what I should bring to China, and what apps I should install, prior to my arrival in China.
-I was able to contact LTL staff through Wechat before my trip

-Airport pickup was clear, quick and convenient
(same for Airport drop-off)

-I was informed about my accommodation address and details before my arrival

-Accommodation was very good, with a large room with a lock, a comfortable bed, Air Conditioning and a beautiful view of some of Beijing's tallest skyscrapers

-My host family was very friendly and helpful, and was able to accommodate my vegan diet

-The food, unsurprisingly for China, was delicious, both at my host family, where I had breakfast and dinner, and at the school, where food was ordered for lunch every day

-On my first day, I was shown how to get to school by my host family

-Distance from school was half an hour either by foot or by bus

-We were provided with a Beijing public transport card, with more than enough money on it for the duration of my trip

-The learning environment is really good: professional and modern-looking, with water as well as hot drinks available at all times to students

-The school is in an office building, which means there are plenty of places to get food at break, which I found convenient. However, the corridor, which I took when the elevator waiting times were too long, which is quite often, smells of cigarette smoke and is not the cleanest, but of course this is outside the school's control

-I found the lessons both challenging and rewarding, and my teacher knew well how to achieve this. She also understood the importance of speaking, and committed at least an hour a day to allow me to practise expressing myself in Chinese

-I found the after-school and Saturday trips really fun and varied, as we went to everywhere from a Hot Pot restaurant to the summer palace

-At no point in my trip did I feel unsafe- Beijing is safer than most Western cities in terms of crime- and we were accompanied by teachers on our trips

-Staff was really helpful in resolving unexpected issued, and spoke very good English

LTL school at Beijing

LTL is one of the best Chinese schools at Beijing, because first they will give you a huge selection of programs from simple classes one by one or a group to summer camps for all seasons. Second is the very cool teachers who can teach you Chinese language in few months ( by my own experience I learned Chinese from level A1 to B1 in 6 weeks , it’s incredible) Third is the classrooms and school itself, LTL is located at business center in big office. It has around 13 classes and big dining room and chill zone . Fourth is that you will 100% find friends from all over the world, like I’m now having many friends from Indonesia, America, UK , Spain, China and Russia . Fifth , if you go to summer camp , you will learn Chinese for four hours and after do activities ( it can be visiting different attractions like Great Wall or Lama temple , also you will play different Chinese games and practice calligraphy) and after all this you will have a very tasty lunch for EVERYDAY !!

So if you want to learn Chinese quickly and spend a great time you will definitely go to LTL

the twins really appreciated this experience in BJ

Linda and Manuel, just a quick message to share with you how the twins really appreciated this experience, from the very beginning till the last minute. Grateful for the professional academic team, the welcoming homestay, the international friends they met, the place they visited, the culture, the food, the whole lifestyle. They fell in love with the experience. Thanks to all the support the team gave them since the very beginning.Alex and Facundo will talk about on line classes for their next steps of the learning process.

Great experience

I really enjoyed my time in Beijing. It was a pleasure to learn together. We were a small group of five people from all age. Our teacher had always an eye on our needs and supported us in a great way. Also exploring Beijing together was great. The school was organizing events in the afternoon and on weekends to get along with Chinese colulture and history. We visited a temple and ha afterwards Lunch in a typical Chinese restaurant. It was so great. I can highly recommend LTL for everybody who want learn Mandarin!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just do it! Jump into the busy life of Beijing!

LTL, live the language

Without a doubt, my stay at LTL has been my most enriching experience abroad. Not only have I improved my chinese through a highly productive course, but I've also made new and meaningful friendship. The teaching is extraordinary in every aspect. Teachers are extremely engaging, have a thorough understanding of the language, and thanks to their indispensable support I have massively boosted my confidence and fluency in mandarin. Moreover, they are always willing to help and correct student's mistakes.

In conclusion, if you want to improve your mandarin, explore one of the world's most alluring metropolis and immerse yourself in the chinese culture, LTL is the place for you.
