Very flexible school, very supportive staff

After having been at LTL Taipei before in spring, I returned a second time for 4 weeks in autumn.

As my initial group class seemed to be not advanced enough for me, I brought it up to the director of studies, Alin, after a few days. She was very helpful and arranged for me to transfer to a more advanced class which was more suitable for me.

The school manager Riona was very supportive and gave me advice on all sorts of things I asked her about life in Taipei, whether it was where to find some services or cultural questions.

A lot of activities were organized during my stay. These included Mahjong sessions as well as playing laser tag. I personally enjoyed the brush painting and calligraphy activities a lot.

Most of my classes were instructed by teacher Anqi / Angela, who answered all sorts of Chinese-related questions I asked in between even if they were not related to the current lesson. l learned a lot (including very specific expressions that you won't find in the text book) and at the same time it was always fun.

I also want to stress that other teachers from the school who gave different classes from mine always gave me opportunity to practice speaking Chinese with them in between classes and activities.

I would recommend LTL Taipei to anyone who needs a flexible program, wants to try different activities, and enjoys a supportive & positive environment.
