LTL北京让我收获满满 - Beijing has given me a lot of gains

我在北京校区待了五周,可以轻松地说,这是我人生中最好的经历之一。我受到热情的欢迎,有机会认识了很多来自世界各地的朋友,他们让这次经历变得非常特别。学校最大的优点是它多元和友好的环境,这让我不用担心在世界另一边的城市感到孤单。课程非常灵活,每天都能在城市里实践课堂上学到的内容,比如点餐或购物,这让我进步很大。每周的活动也是一个认识朋友和探索城市的好机会。我也很高兴能和老师成为朋友,我们甚至会一起唱卡拉OK或吃早餐!谢谢你,Tara!谢谢你,LTL北京!

English Version:
I spent five weeks at the Beijing campus, and I can easily say it was one of the best experiences of my life. I was warmly welcomed and had the good fortune of meeting so many fantastic people from around the world who truly made the experience special. The strength of the school is definitely its multicultural, welcoming environment, which helped me avoid what I was most nervous about—feeling alone in a city halfway around the world. The lessons are highly customizable, and having the chance to test what I learned every day, whether by exploring the city or simply ordering food, was an incredible boost. The weekly organized activities provided a great opportunity to bond and explore the city. I was also pleasantly surprised by how friendly the relationship with the teacher was; we even found ourselves singing karaoke together or having breakfast! Thank you, Tara! Thank you, LTL Beijing!

我在LTL北京的学习经历 - My study experience at LTL Beijing

在LTL北京的学习体验非常好!我交了很多新朋友,大家一起参加了很多活动,比如去KTV唱歌、爬长城、参观颐和园、景山公园、北海公园,甚至去了环球影城。每天我都吃到不同的美食,最喜欢的是北京烤鸭、馄饨汤,还有各种面条。

学校的气氛很好,学生和工作人员都很友好,交朋友很容易。我的一对一老师特别棒,不但帮助我提高听力和口语,而且让课堂很有意思。第一周我们还一起学了打麻将,后来麻将成了我最喜欢的游戏之一,我还买了一副带回家,哈哈!

总的来说,这次体验真的很特别,推荐给每一个想要试试的人!如果你喜欢中国文化,想多练习中文,LTL是非常好的选择。

English Version:
My study experience at LTL Beijing was fantastic! I made a lot of new friends, and we joined many activities together, like singing at KTV, climbing the Great Wall, visiting the Summer Palace, Jingshan Park, Beihai Park, and even going to Universal Studios. Every day, I got to try different foods, and my favourites were Beijing Roast Duck, Wonton Soup, and various noodle dishes.

The school had a great atmosphere; both the students and staff were very friendly, so it was easy to make friends. My one-on-one teacher was amazing, not only did my teacher help me improve my listening and speaking skills, but they also made each class interesting. In the first week, we even learned to play mahjong together, and it quickly became one of my favorite games. I even bought a set to bring home, haha!

Overall, this experience was truly special, and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to give it a try! If you love Chinese culture and want more practice with Chinese, LTL is an excellent choice.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
If you want to immerse yourself in Chinese, this is a great way for you to do so. Remember to plan everything in advance as the lifestyle is completely different. Speak to the school or see YouTube guides to help you on your way.

在LTL北京的精彩一周A wonderful week in LTL Beijing!

我在LTL语言学校度过了难忘的一周,从第一天开始,工作人员的关心和支持就让我感受到了他们对学生的关注。我的老师非常准时,每堂课都按时开始,这让我们的学习既高效又愉快。无论是课堂上的细致指导,还是课后的支持,都让我感到非常满意。

每天上午的课程结束后,我们会一起外出吃午饭,不仅可以品尝地道的美食,还能在轻松的氛围中练习中文。此外,我特别喜欢太极等课外活动,这些文化活动不仅有趣,还让我更加深刻地体验了中国的传统。

学校的校长和团队对我在这里的每一个细节都非常关心,从学习到生活的各方面都给了我很多帮助。这次的学习体验让我非常充实。如果你打算在北京学习中文,我强烈推荐LTL,这是一所教学出色、活动丰富且充满人情味的学校,让我的这一周成为了难忘的回忆!

在国外短暂居住并旅行是一种非常棒的体验。对于我来说,无论是作为个人还是作为专业人士,了解亚洲国家的情况都是一次非常棒的经历

English version:
I had an unforgettable week at LTL Language School. From the first day, the care and support of the staff made me feel that they cared about the students. My teacher is very punctual and every class starts on time, which makes our learning efficient and enjoyable. Whether it is the detailed guidance in class or the support after class, I am very satisfied.

After the classes in the morning every day, we will go out for lunch together. Not only can we taste the authentic food, but we can also practice Chinese in a relaxed atmosphere. In addition, I particularly enjoy extracurricular activities such as Tai Chi. These cultural activities are not only interesting but also allow me to experience Chinese traditions more deeply.

The principal and team of the school are very concerned about every detail of my time here and have given me a lot of help in all aspects from study to life. This learning experience was very fulfilling for me. If you plan to study Chinese in Beijing, I highly recommend LTL. It is a school with excellent teaching, rich activities, and a human touch that made my week an unforgettable memory!

Living and traveling abroad for a short time is a great experience. It was a great experience for me, both as a person and as a professional, to learn about the situation in Asian countries.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
我会呆更久

Great Experience at LTL Beijing

Being at LTL was an amazing experience. I met many new friends at LTL. The teachers were all great and they even taught me how to play Mahjong. The out of class activities that were organised by the school are great opportunities to meet new people and bond with them.
My tip: choose the lessons in the morning, so you can attend the activities and spend more time with your friends. In my experience most people go for morning classesI highly recommend it to people who want to improve their Chinese or want to get started on their Chinese learning journey.
Thank you LTL for having me.

Great school :-)

I highly recommend studying at LTL language school. I had two weeks in October 24 at the Chengdu school. I only wish my stay with the school was longer. My tutor Dawn was outstanding, and despite the limited amount of time helped me make some significant progress, and further ignite my interest in learning Mandarin. She is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to study with. Thank you Dawn! There are many good social activities with the other students and tutors suggested and organised by Mandy, the Chengdu administrator, who creates a very warm and welcoming environment, alongside all of the other staff and students. All in all a great school! Furthermore, Chengdu itself is an amazing city. For me ambling along the riverside was a particular joy, night or day, and provides a great way to explore further than the usual (and still great) tourist activities.

5 week program in Chengde

I just spent 5 weeks in Chengde with LTL.
I organised my stay within 2 weeks. The service was quick, friendly, and concise. All my classes, my homestay, and welcome packages organised within days of inquiry. Truly great service.

Chengde is a quaint and beautiful city. Surrounded by mountains, imperial palaces and temples - you will never be short of things to do in your free time - whether it be cultural or outdoor activities. Beautiful city, lots of fun things to do, and only 1 hour on the fast train to Beijing, close to other tourist attractions in North-east China, Inner Mongolia and Hebei itself. LTL will also help you organise other activities such as traditional paper cutting, or painting, which will leave you with plenty of souvenirs to take home with you.
Throughout my time I had 3 teachers, who were always patient with me, and grew to become my friends. Thanks Jack, Ida and Mike! Thanks to you, my confidence in my Chinese has exploded! the classes are tailored to your needs, whether you're a beginner, intermediate, or advanced – In my case, I came to Chengde to focus purely on vocabulary and conversational skills. We found my best method was watching western cartoons I had already watched on Bilibili (chinese streaming site) and studying the new vocab together and using these new words in our conversations. Some days we had outdoor classes, and other days we went out shopping together!

My homestay was definitely the highlight of my stay. They truly welcomed me into the family and will made me feel very welcomed. Healthy Chinese meals every day, help with my language practice, and a once in a lifetime experience into Chinese home-life. I will miss my Chinese Mum, Dad, LaoLao, little brother, and little sister so much. I will definitely come back!

My Chinese level has improved so much, I made life-long friends, and my immersion into real Chinese culture was a once in a lifetime experience. As soon as I have another opportunity to come back, I’ll be reaching out to LTL immediately.

This is by FAR the best way to improve your Chinese quickly!

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!
