LTL Language School || Learn Chinese (11 Cities)

I studied just 2 week in Shanghai. The staffs were super friendly and willing to help for everything, Lina was my teacher when she was explaining everything she made every doubt clear. Everyone was so friendly and kind. The homestay was so kind and she was willing to give recommendations to go, every food she gave us was so good. She took us to do a lot of activities like going to karaoke.
I would definitely recommends this experience i had, to everyone who likes Chinese colture and mandarine learners

LTL Shanghai is a great program! I was looking for a place to be immersed in mandarin to improve my speaking ability for work. This was exactly what I needed. My teacher Anne, Evelyn, and Wei Wei understood my language level and challenged me to go beyond that. The rest of the staff is also incredible here and helped organize events to learn and explore! Each week I spent a lot of time in the classroom but we would normally have one to two optional group activities. This helped a lot to start applying some of the principles I was learning with the teachers close by to critique and help expand what I was trying to say. Overall great experience!

The time in Beihai (China) was amazing since the city itself is (for Chinese conditions) not too big and very well located at the sea. Old town and swimming can be perfectly combined with chats with locals and the intense single or group language sessions improving your Chinese up to the next level.
Courses are very flexible and can be designed by students as well as teachers depending on individual needs. Learning material is provided and topics follow either a course program or individual wishes, especially depending on the level of language skills

My time with LTL's online course has exceeded all expectations! Not only were the classes engaging and well managed, but my teacher was and is amazing! When I started my Chinese learning journey from scratch in 2020, LTL arranged a teacher for me who could not only speak English, but was also extremely good at teaching Chinese as a secondary language, namely Shen laoshi (Anne Shen). I have learned so much because of how patiently Shen laoshi has taught me this oh so difficult language, and as a result my chinese has improved tremendously in the years i spent with my flexi online classes. I highly recommend the one-on-one classes for the best learning enhancement. My teacher Shen laoshi was and is an excellent teacher, going above and beyond for her students. She has been so extremely helpful in helping me prepare for my university exams as I am currently working on my BA in Chinese Language and Culture, and without Shen laoshi I probably wouldn't be able to keep up with my lectures.

I had a really great time studying at LTL Shanghai and learned a lot in a short period. Both my teachers Anne and Alice were amazing and helped me get a grasp of this complicated language. Next to explaining everything really well they also gave us feedback on pronunciation and useful phrases for the everyday life in China. The organisation was also great from start to finish and Alex and Brandon were there to answer all my questions and helped with navigating the not so easy burocracy in China. All in all I can only recommend the school.

A great school and super nice and supportive staff! Me and my teacher bonded over 1 year of lessons :) Anne was very flexible and always had an answer to my grammar questions 🤓 we always had laughs together. The course was online as Anne lives in Shanghai and I lived in Beijing, that did not make a difference though. We met once a week - and even on weekends she was free. We did the entire content of HSK 5 and also spoke about local language and culture- Anne has many stories about Shanghai to tell!

Summary: Studying at LTL Tapei is a fantastic experience that will improve your Chinese and give you a memorable and meaningful time in Taipei.
I spent two weeks at LTL Taipei doing an intensive 4-hours/day 1-on-1 classes and have only good things to say about the teachers, staff, and other students.
First, the program provided me with a huge amount of flexibility. Although most students work from textbooks, LTL Taipei was happy to provide me with a customized learning plan to meet specific objectives, even though this required additional work and some creativity from my two teachers, Vivian and Thomas. This was extremely helpful and resulted in me getting just what I needed out of the program from a learning perspective.
Second, both of my teachers were fantastic. Thomas and Vivian are extremely good at breaking down Mandarin concepts in a way that is a perfect fit for my language level. They are both also awesome people and when I left I knew that I had made two new friends.. At my request, they also provided me with 3 ‘Safari Classes’ that took place in interesting parts of Taipei and allowed me to practice my Mandarin in a real environment while learning more about Taipei and Taiwanese culture.
Last, the staff created a strong sense of community. The other students were an eclectic mix of ages, nationalities, backgrounds, and mandarin levels. The staff hosted numerous events, including a daily lunch, mahjong tournament, and a group calligraphy lesson that created an environment for bonds and friendships to form. Even though I was taking 1-on-1 classes, I did not feel isolated from the other students. Special mention goes to Riona, who sets the tone for LTL Taipei. Riona is a natural leader who brings people together while also making them feel at ease. Alice, Ai Lin, Rushi, Manuel, Tammy and Octavia were all also awesome and made me feel at home at LTL Taipei.
At this point I am looking at options to get back to LTL Taipei for a longer period. LTL Taipei is a uniquely fantastic experience and I give it my strongest recommendation.

I had an absolutely fantastic two weeks at LTL Shanghai! Alex was amazing organizing everything and helping fix my mistakes, and the teachers were excellent. Their explanations were very clear and easy to understand, and the lessons were truly tailored to what I was looking for. Evelyn in particular took the time at the beginning of our private lessons to ask what I wanted to get out of lessons, and make sure she understood what I was looking for before we started. If you’re looking for a short-term study program, you can’t find one better than LTL’s!
