1 great week in Beijing

I had a great time in Beijing this January even though it was just a short week :)
- Teacher Alice was really great and adjusted to my short schedule so we could make it as efficient as possible.
- The school activities were also fun and made it easy to meet other students (thanks Linda & staff).
- Beijing is a great city with lots of things to do and easy to get around, but do be prepared for the cold!
Would definitely come study at LTL again and maybe try some of the other cities they offer :)

Two weeks in shanghai

I spent two weeks in Shanghai in a homestead and had an amazing time. I was doing the intensive course so six hours a day one on one teaching for two weeks and both my teachers Lina and Winnie were so fun and engaging. Lina was very good at pushing my skills in the language and Winnie helped to create a comfortable environment where I felt okay to make mistakes and improve my confidence in speaking the language. My homestay was very welcoming and not far from the school and had only one train line. Everyone at the school was really friendly and my teachers were amazing. (Love you Winnie)

32h group session in LTL-Beijing

I attended to LTL-Beijing for 32h group class session. From my personal experience, I can definitely say LTL-Beijing is a suitable place for foreigners to learn Mandarin. Teachers are totally qualified and students here are also eager to learn Mandarin. The best part was, staffs and teachers here are so kind and always trying to help, which made me feel like I made another family here in LTL-Beijing. There are also lots of activities you can join if you want, which helps you make unforgettable memories in China. Thank you Maria and Linda for helping me during the stay, and thank you Laoshi Lilia and Loong for giving awesome lectures. The memories I’ve made here will stay with me for a lifetime.

LTL-Homestay

你们好!It was the first time I went to Beijing, hence I wanted to learn Chinese I chose LTL School combined with a Homestay. First I had some doubts, going to a completely unknown City, and staying with Strangers seemed very challenging. But even my best expectations were topped. People in School are very, very friendly and helpful. The Teachers know what they are doing and encourage you. The Support you get (buying Chinese sim, introduction to Weixin, technical Issues....) is really great. All in all the perfect atmosphere to learn a Language.

It was so nice I will do it twice!

Our Month at LTL Beijing – A Fantastic Experience Together

My wife and I spent a month studying Mandarin at LTL Beijing as a couple, and it was an unforgettable adventure! The classes were small and interactive, and the teachers were amazing—super supportive and great at making learning fun. We both started at slightly different levels, but the school tailored everything so we could learn at our own pace.

We chose a homestay, which turned out to be a highlight of the trip. Living with a local family gave us daily opportunities to practice speaking and a chance to really experience Chinese culture up close. It was also nice to come home and share our experiences with each other!

LTL also organized some awesome activities, like calligraphy and dumpling-making classes, so we got to dive into the culture beyond just language. Plus, exploring Beijing together was incredible—there’s so much history, food, and energy in the city.

After a month, we both felt way more confident speaking Mandarin and left with amazing memories. If you’re a couple thinking about learning Mandarin, LTL Beijing is a perfect choice!

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
I was really nervous on my first day, before arriving, as I hadn't met anyone yet and hadn't been in a school environment for years. But my fears were quelled as soon as I walked through the door, I felt welcomed and made so many new friends (staff and students alike) over the course of the month!

Two weeks in Beijing. Great experience!

I booked a two-week beginner language course in Beijing with 6 hours/day (total 60 hours). I spent 2/3 of the time in a group of three people and 1/3 in a 1-1 class with a private teacher. Even though I didn’t speak a word of Mandarin when I arrived I had a great time in the classes and in the school in general. The teachers are very friendly and patient but also committed. The administrative staff is also great. They were very helpful if I had any questions at all. And the organized activities were a great way to connect with the other students. Overall a very positive experience, which I highly recommend!

LTL School에서 중국어를 배웠는데 3주 동안 너무 행복했습니다! - I learned Chinese at LTL School and I was so happy for the three weeks!

LTL School에서 중국어를 배웠는데 3주 동안 너무 행복했습니다! 중국어 기초도 없이 무작정 베이징에 간 거라 걱정이 많았는데, 선생님들도 너무 친절하고 직원분들도 적극적이셔서 금방 적응할 수 있었어요. 3명 정도의 소규모 클래스였던 덕분에 질문도 자유롭게 할 수 있었고, 화기애애한 분위기에서 수업이 가능했습니다! 방과후에 다양한 활동도 열어주셔서 중국 문화도 자연스럽게 많이 접할 수 있었어요. 타이치 무술도 배우고, 서예도 하고, 자금성도 다녀왔어요. 스쿨 친구들이랑 나중에 친해져서 따로 만리장성도 함께 다녀왔습니다 ㅎㅎ 홈스테이를 하다보니, 실생활에서 중국어를 사용할 일도 많았어요. 덕분에 짧은 3주였지만 중국어와 중국 문화를 정말 많이 배우고 왔습니다. 중국어 어학연수 생각하시는 분들은 LTL School 추천합니다! LTL School에서 언어 배우는 것 뿐만 아니라 좋은 사람들도 많이 만났어요. 친구들이 다음에 한국에 놀러온다고 약속도 했는데 기대되네요 ㅎㅎ 언어 배우기 뿐만 아니라 친구들도 사귀고 싶으신 분들이 방문하면 좋을 것 같아요~

English Version:
I learned Chinese at LTL School and I was so happy for the three weeks! I was worried because I went to Beijing without any basic knowledge of Chinese, but the teachers were very kind and the staff were very active, so I was able to adapt quickly. Because it was a small class of about 3 people, I was able to ask questions freely and the class was held in a friendly atmosphere! Through various activities after school, I was able to naturally experience a lot of Chinese culture. I learned Tai Chi martial arts, did calligraphy and visited the Forbidden City. I later became close friends with my school friends and went to the Great Wall of China together. Since I stayed at a homestay, I often had to use Chinese in real life. Thanks to this, even though it was only a short three weeks, I learned a lot about the Chinese language and culture. I recommend LTL School to anyone thinking of language training! At LTL School, I not only learned the language but also met many great people. My friends promised that they would come to Korea next time and I'm looking forward to it. I think it would be great for people who want to not only learn the language but also make friends to visit.

Teacher Wang is very good

Teacher Wang is very good! Her lessons are very fun and I learn a lot. The homework she assigns is very helpful for what we are studying and is good review for me. She makes the class interesting and brings in real-world examples sometimes to relate to our textbook subjects. It is very nice and she is very supportive. She answers all questions that I have and makes sure that I understand everything we have covered before moving into the next topic or subject. I highly recommend teacher Wang for this program!
