LTL Language School 

My life in Beihai was a fairly interesting one. I went and stayed with a generous family. The school organized this home stay for me before my arrival after asking me questions about my preferences and any special considerations I may have. An added benefit was that the home was only 20 minutes away from the school by electric scooter. They did this and gave me a good teacher as well. The school had a small feel as there were only a few students there. However, it felt like there was little stratification or cliquishness with the students present. We would have activities frequently, typically the activities involved food and would happen on a weekly basis. My only critique that was not anyone's fault was that I got switched around between a few different teachers. Experiences may vary, as I heard this was an exceptional circumstance. Overall, this was a school that gave me the chance to learn Chinese in a setting where I felt the most freedom to express my thoughts in Chinese and learn vocabulary in an engaging way.

Hi there,
I had a great experience at LTL Beijing.
The staff is very friendly and approachable; The classes are personalized and in small groups which gives you dedicated attention and better results.
They also arranged my accomodation and were able to receive me on Saturday morning at 5 am in a Bank Holiday weekend. Talk about royal treatment ;)

If you are thinking about studying Chinese I defo recommend you to come to this school ;)

Flexi Classes are awesome. I have been studying with Yoyo Chinese for several months, and although my Chinese has improved, my speaking seemed stuck. With Flexi Classes I get to speak more, learn at a faster pace, and compliment my Yoyo classes. Moreover, all of my teachers have been really kind and patient.

Had a great experience studying at LTL Taipei for the last month! Teachers Tammy and Shu 老師 were great and I got to learn/practice a lot of vocabulary, grammar, and speaking. I also got the opportunity to take a few one-on-one classes where I was able to customize my learning to topics related to my interests. The Taipei leadership were very communicative and organized lunch for the group at few times/week. I felt a strong sense of community with the other students as well as with the program leadership. Would highly recommend to people with any level of Chinese!

Great experience. Would recommend for any level.

I had a great time learning Mandarin at LTL in Beijing. Our teacher was always helpful and patient, and encouraged us to speak a lot during classes, which I really enjoyed. The afternoon activities were also great to see more of Beijing, enjoy Chinese food and learn about Chinese culture.

I had such a great time over my 3 weeks in Seoul!! My teacher was lovely and really helpful, and there were only 2-3 people in my class so we could get very focused teaching. After classes we could go out for lunch together, which was a great opportunity to try new food and get to know students from different classes. I was paired with a really lovely homestay family about 30 minutes from the school who took care of me so well and cooked delicious meals. It's something a lot of people say, but I genuinely wish I could have stayed for longer than 3 weeks. All the staff and students were so kind, my homestay family truly became my friends, and overall it was such a welcoming environment. Thank you!!

I had a great time at the LTL! Tri and Tram were very lovely teachers, super friendly and supportive. There were also lots of fun activities outside of class, and I felt really welcome from day one.

Even as a near native speaker, I learned a lot, especially in reading and writing. Everyone speaks excellent English, so communication was easy. Definitely recommend!

I started my Korean classes 6 weeks ago at LTL in Seoul, and I’ve had an amazing experience so far.
All the teachers I’ve had were amazing.
Grammar, writing, listening, speaking everything is designed to give you useful skills and confidence.

Classes are held in small groups, which allows you to easily ask question and speak.
Every day, the staff takes you out to lunch, so you can socialize with other students. They also organize some evening activities.

The staff is genuinely caring, they regularly check in with you and are always here to help if you need anything.

Considering everything they offer, the prices are more than fair.
I highly recommend this school to anyone learning Korean!

I recently completed the 1 week 30 hour intensive course with LTL Beijing. I had a great teacher that tailored the program for my needs. Chinese is difficult to learn and the team was helpful, friendly and organized daily activities for students to immerse and converse in Chinese, making the learning fun.

TL Chengdu highly recommendable

I spent two months on a Chinese language course (intensive one-to-one lessons) at LTL Chengdu. My teacher was very strict and precise as regards pronunciation, translation and character writing (which helped me a lot, as an absolute beginner). She had a subtle understanding of semantic nuances, and she was very good at analysing and explaining syntactic structures. She had a rich knowledge of Chinese cultural contexts and backgrounds - and, last but not least, a fine sense of humour. Great! These two months provided me with a solid foundation for my further studies at home.
The administrative and organisational staff at LTL Chengdu are a rare combination of organisational efficiency, creative imagination in planning leisure as well as cultural activities and friendliness. Thank you so much! Chengdu as a (mega-)city is very stimulating, with a great variety of cultural attractions, furthermore providing multiple insights into everyday life in China. I can recommend Chengdu (and its LTL!) unreservedly in every respect.

The experience here has been amazing. The teachers, the staff, the environment. I love how it feels like a family and you dont feel judged. I have learned so much and made lifelong friends. My homestay was the best, we are even planning a visit to my home country. I loved everything, definitely recommend!

I’ve been taking Chinese Mandarin classes at LTL for years (4 years) now and I am 100% satisfied and 100% recommend it to every single learners or Chinese mandarin. The teachers are the best, they support our studying and focus on the acquisition and production of the language. The classes are 100% in Chinese which create the perfect environment for immersion, allowing the student to have a feel of what it is to be in a 100% chinese-speaking environment. There are course materials available on the website for free (script+audio) to prepare before class and also review everything afterwards. I bought a 12hours/month subscription and thinking about leveling up to 24 hours/month at some point. It fits my schedule as I am working and barely have enough time to focus on my language studies.

Thank you LTL for such and amazing opportunity, this platform makes everything possible for us learners who don’t live in China (yet 😉)

Wide variety of classes and offerings. Perfect for my busy schedule. And affordable!

The staff, teachers and students at LTL were great.

I believe that people make or break and experience and they really helped elevate my experience in Seoul.

You can tell the staff here genuinely care about you as an individual. My favorite part of the experience was that they would take us to lunches and would sometimes also host activities in the afternoon/evening (usually 1/week).

My class size was small enough that I got to ask questions and get 1:1 attention from the teacher. Even though other university language classes say they keep their class size small, there are usually over 10 people. I think that would've been too much. My teacher was very attentive, understanding, patient, and fun. She answered all my questions, and I really appreciated her focus on what is useful to know about speaking the language and not just what is "academic" to know about it.

Good. I’ve been enjoying my learning experience

Really good choice! I enjoyed my time there and had a good time. The team was so helpful with any request I had. 5 days Korean (A1) was definetely just a start- but I enjoyed the course in a small group. There was plenty of time for our questions.

I was at the ltl language school in Beijing for two weeks and it was great! The classes were both intensive and fun, the teachers good and motivated, and after class, they offered some interesting activities. Almost everything went smoothly and if it didn’t, the super nice and helpful staff solved the problem very very quickly. So there was nothing to worry about and I was able to just enjoy my time there and focus on exploring the city and studying. The location of the school is also great for having lunch nearby after school and then doing some sightseeing.

I've just finished my short course in Beijing and I'm absolutely delighted with my experience. The school managed my arrival smoothly, I was placed in a small group according to my level of chinese. I loved my classes time, which were fun and challenging at the same time. Our teacher Lilia was just perfect and very energetic. Our director of studies Linda handled all questions very smoothly.
The classes were held from 8 AM to 12 PM, followed by after-school activities, including sightseeing and cultural discoveries. The school office is cool place to be, it's also well located, a lot of restaurants and food stalls just downstairs. A very special word to my host family, a real cultural immersion and a lot of kindest. Can't wait to come back!

Our 8 year old son Gordon has been doing daily 1 hour Chinese lessons (Mon-Thurs) with Wei Wei (Fiona) through the Beijing office of LTL for about 5 months and is making good progress. She is a great teacher, always enthusiastic, and following a clear curriculum to build his foundation in Mandarin. LTL has been easy to deal with and transparent.
