LTL in Beijing

My stay in Beijing was better that I could have ever imagined!My homestay was very welcoming and warm, I was given the best food that introduced me to the Chinese kitchen, I even learned how to make dumplings. My teacher, Tara, helped me improve my chinese so much! I went on a few trips with them and they were so fun and I learned so much! For example we went to the summer palace and even though it was hot the atmosphere and the sights made it all worth it! We also went to the Tiananmen sqaure which was beautiful! Even though there was a long queue before, the end was so worth it, seeing the beautiful square!

What was the most surprising thing you saw or did?
I went to see the great wall of china which was a wonderful experience! It is one of the 7 wonders of the world and now I finally understand why, it is beautiful! And it stretches out so long that you cannot even imagine!

Great teachers

I sent my 12-year-old son, who speaks both English and Japanese, to study in Beijing. The quality of the teachers was excellent—their teaching skills are strong, they are very supportive, and their ability to speak English fluently made the whole experience worry-free for both parents and children. Beyond the classroom, my son also had the chance to visit historical sites such as the Great Wall, which added a meaningful cultural dimension to his learning. Overall, it was an environment where he could grow academically and personally with confidence. I truly believe this experience will benefit his future, and I am already thinking that I would like to send my children again.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
Food. There might have a better food around the school, according to my kid.
Except this, we rate this school 120%.

LTL Shanghai

I spent two weeks at LTL Shanghai, I had a great time and made new friends. The school is small but very well organized. I purchased the package that includes both interactive and fun group lessons and individual lessons. My teacher, Jamie, structured the lessons based on my level and needs, and I enjoyed interacting with her. I also stayed with a host family. I was very happy with Lina, who assigned me a room with a private bathroom. Every evening, we also had the opportunity to eat delicious food cooked by the family. The only downside is that the apartment is an hour from the city center and the school, but I think that's normal considering the enormous distances in Shanghai.

Fun and Friendly Learning at LTL

LTL is a great place to learn a language. The classes are fun and easy to follow, and you get to practice a lot. Two of the wonderful teachers here are Jamie, who is very patient and explains things clearly, and Anne, who makes lessons lively and interesting. The school also organizes activities so you can use what you’ve learned in real life. It’s a friendly and welcoming place where you can improve quickly. The friendly atmosphere at LTL inspires every student to make daily progress in learning.

Live your dreams

I have just completed 2 weeks at LTL Beijing. It was great, hard work, but a wonderful experience. My one-to-one tutor Helen, balanced encouragement and challenge so I reached my learning goals. She made all the hard work seem like fun!

The college offers a full programme of optional leisure activities to include the opportunities offered by Beijing. Linda and the whole team were friendly and encouraging. Well done! I am already planning another possible learning adventure with LTL in China!

I can recommend LTL to anyone looking for an immersion learning experience in China

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Do add the pick up and drop off packages to make the travel experience stress free.
Pros
  • One to one course option meant my needs were met
  • Studio apartment was convenient to college.
  • Choice of tutor excellent.
Cons
  • Being alone could have been isolating but other activities meant it wasn't an issue
  • Transport support part of an option that I should have signed up for
  • Wide age range could have been a problem but one to one tuition overcame that.

A great experience

I had a great time at LTL in Beijing and Chengdu! I liked the relaxed athmosphere in Chengdu and the kind and helpful teams. Unicorn was an amazing teacher who helped me learn a lot in a short time, thank you!🫶 With the surcival kit I had a smooth start of the programm and my host family in Beijing was amazing. It was really interesting to get to know some local people in Beijing and the way they live their everyday life. At the schools you can get to know many interesting people from a lot of different countries, the team makes you feel very welcome

I love Beihai!

This is my third year studying at LTL. I have been to Taipei and Beijing. This time, I came to Beihai, a small city with few foreigners. Everyone I met spoke Chinese to me, which was very helpful for my studies. I really enjoy this immersive learning environment.

I’ve been here for three weeks, and it’s been very amazing. I wish I could stay longer. I love everything here—I’ve made great friends and experienced many things I’ve never done before. I love it , I love it !

Savannah has been very helpful, enthusiastically introducing me to Beihai, arranging excellent teachers and a host family for me. While in Beihai, she took me to rent an electric bike. Renting an electric scooter is essential, as it’s the primary mode of transportation here. Riding an electric scooter allows you to explore Beihai more effectively. We went out to eat delicious local Guangxi cuisine together, visited other host families for meals, and enjoyed barbecues. We went to many interesting places, such as KTV, cupping therapy, swimming at the beach, go karting and drinking at bars. I really enjoyed these activities. There’s a special activity called Mandarin Corner, in this activity, Savannah invites locals to join us for conversations in Mandarin. This is very helpful. During the first week, we went to the beach with locals to practice Mandarin. The sunlight by the beach was so beautiful, and I really enjoyed this activity.

I really like teacher Summer‘s class. I think my teacher is great—knowledgeable and humorous. I'm taking an exam, and her class has been very helpful for my preparation. I also love my host family; they've made me many delicious meals. My host father treats me like his own son, always caring for me. I'm very grateful for their kindness.

If you want to experience a unique Mandarin learning journey, I highly recommend Beihai LTL!
