Third time's a charm!

This is the third year I have attended LTL in Taipei.
Every year I come for eight weeks of immersion into mandarin.
I enjoy interacting with the teachers and then with all the students in after-school activities and going out to eat.
I felt my mandarin improved especially in the one-on-one classes where my teachers taught me at my level and speed and encouraged me to speak mandarin.
My classes consisted of a mix of conversational speaking, reading text, learning grammar and writing new characters.

What would you improve about this program?
Could use more Karaoke.
Pros
  • Small classes, sometimes one-on-one.

Thank you!

Thank you very much for the wonderful experience! I've loved learning Mandarin at LTL Taipei. People have been incredibly kind and generous and it was a real delight! I've always wanted to learn Mandarin and doing so in a relaxed yet hardworking environment was truly a blast!
If you love eating and studying in a joyful and stressless environment, Taipei is the place to be!
The experience is one in a million and I truly hope everyone can get to see the natural beauty of Taiwan as well as the friendliness of Taiwanese people and the delicious food.

LTL Shanghai school is a wonderful place where to learn Chinese.

My teachers Jamie and Rey are both fantastic, they helped me and my group to improve a lot from 0 knowledge of Chinese language.

The lessons are very entertained and you never feel you are not learning, they help you with any questions and doubts you find during your learning process.

I definitely recommend them and without hesitation!Thanks very much!

LTL Experience

I've overall had a great experience studying Mandarin at LTL language school! I came in with a pretty solid foundation in Mandarin, but in the last couple months I've have noticed significant improvements in my speaking ability which allow me to communicate much more effectively than I ever could before. Sabrina has been an excellent teacher for me, and Riona and Alin have been very helpful managing the front desk and organizing activities! There are activities nearly every day, most of which occur after class at the school but also including field trips to various locations around Taipei.

Come to LTL

I’ve had a really great experience at this language school and would absolutely recommend it to anyone considering studying here. From the very beginning, everything has felt welcoming, well-organized, and genuinely focused on helping students improve quickly.

One of the things I’ve really enjoyed is how easy it is to build a routine here. For example, my teacher Jamie and I got breakfast before class to practice ordering… just a short walk from the school. The location is very convenient and makes daily life simple and enjoyable.

The teaching quality has been excellent. Jamie is especially great at explaining vocabulary in a way that really sticks, and she often incorporates mock scenarios into lessons so we can practice real-life situations. This has helped me feel much more confident using the language in practical contexts. Winnie is also fantastic—whenever we have extra time, she introduces fun and useful topics like LGBT slang, which adds a unique and inclusive dimension to the learning experience.

The staff overall are incredibly helpful and supportive. You can tell they genuinely care about the students and are always willing to assist if you have questions or need guidance.

Another big advantage is the small class size. I’m currently in a group with just one other A1-level student, which means we get a lot of personalized attention. Because of this, I feel like I’m learning very quickly and making real progress every day.

As for accommodation, I stayed in a studio apartment arranged through the school. It was okay—nothing amazing, and the kitchen wasn’t very well equipped—but it was convenient and within about 30 minutes of the school. That said, I would recommend staying in school housing initially and then looking for your own place after about a month. This gives you time to get familiar with the area and can help you save money in the long run.

Overall, my experience has been extremely positive. The combination of great teachers, supportive staff, small classes, and a convenient location makes this school a fantastic choice. If you’re thinking about learning a language here—just do it. Come to LTL!

Feel like I got a good foundation even with only a short stay

Just completed my first week at LTL with teacher Jamie and Ray and they are both doing a great job teaching the language but also explaining a lot of interesting things about the culture. Lessons never get boring and even though it is hard sometimes to implement everything you just learned, it always stays fun and the atmosphere is very nonjudgmental and supporting! I really like that they adapt to the groups needs and sometimes go off topic to explain something we were curious about and then still manage to teach us everything we had planned for the day.

LTL Chengdu Fang ying juan tang

Had a very warm welcome and the teachers Fang ying and juan tang were always very helpful and tried to teach me as much as possible. Thank you guys for everything. I completed the A1 course for a week, which gave me enough time to understand the basics. Everyone here is very helpful and there are many people from around the world, who will be very helpful. They will not only teach you the language but also help you to understand the culture better as well as the meaning behind the words. All in all a great course

Great flexibility and instructors!

I had such a great experience with LTL Taipei! I took small group classes for 4 weeks, with 1 week of extra 1-1 class. My instructors Sissi and Tammy were amazing. They were very professional, patient, and good at pacing the class according to our needs. The lesson plan felt very personalized. My group class was only me and one other student, which was ideal for balancing speaking and listening practice. My language skills definitely improved. The environment was quite international and intergenerational, and very friendly. I am longgg graduated from college, so it was nice to be in a learning environment that had a mix of undergradate, graduate, and post grad students.
