My daughter, a recent high school graduate, had a wonderful gap year at LTL. Director Riona was great and worked hard to help her acclimate. Teacher Juju was very helpful. Teacher Tammy was amazing and had a very positive influence on her.

I did a 4 week language course at LTL Chengdu with my teacher Presli. The school environment is great, the people are very welcoming and nice and the quality of the lessons is great. Outside of classes they also organize many optional activities that are a lot of fun. The school building is also great and has an amazing location, easy to reach and close to many nice restaurants and malls. I definitely recommend this school!

My time in Japan has truly been one of the most unforgettable and meaningful experiences of my life.
This was my very first trip to Japan, and to be honest, at the beginning I was quite nervous. Traveling to a country with such a unique language, culture, and lifestyle felt overwhelming — I didn’t know what to expect. But from the moment I arrived, all my worries started to fade.
One of the most important things that made my experience so incredible was my host family. They were absolutely wonderful — warm, patient, and always willing to help me practice Japanese. Thanks to them, I was able to learn not only the language, but also understand the everyday life and values of Japanese culture. They taught me so much, and I’ll always be deeply grateful for the time we shared together. I truly felt at home. 🏠
At the language school, the teachers were equally amazing. Each one of them had their own teaching style, but all of them were kind, professional, and attentive. They took the time to understand my level and learning needs, and supported me not only with grammar and vocabulary, but also with daily conversation practice, which really boosted my confidence. They even helped me prepare for an important exam, and thanks to their guidance, I felt much more capable and prepared.
Aside from the lessons, the school offered a variety of cultural activities that made this experience even more enriching. I had the chance to try Japanese calligraphy, participate in a tea ceremony where we made and enjoyed matcha, and explore traditional arts that I had only ever seen in books or online. Every activity was fun, meaningful, and beautifully organized.
We also went on excursions to some incredible places like Kawagoe and Enoshima. These trips gave us the opportunity to not only practice Japanese in real-life situations but also to learn about history, nature, and local traditions.
Looking back, I’m just incredibly thankful — to the school, the teachers, my host family, and all the organizers who made this journey possible.
This experience gave me not just better Japanese skills, but also a deeper understanding of the culture, and a lot of beautiful memories that I will carry with me forever.
🇯🇵

Keep studying Japanese hard and come back again next summer.
We'll do it all together again :)
I did a 12-week Chinese course with LTL in Chengdu, and I had the best time. The city itself is just awesome – friendly people, amazing food, and always something cool to check out.
As for the course, the teachers are what makes it great. My teacher, Ying, is a very open-minded and cultured person, which brought a lot of depth to the lessons beyond just the textbook. She also helped me outside of class, always ready to chat, answer questions, or even give tips on where to find the best food. But really all them, Pan Pan, Unicorn and the others, made it fun and interesting, always providing opportunities to practice Mandarin in real-life settings. Definitely recommend it if you're looking for a solid but fun learning experience in a great city

I got to spend 9 months here at LTL in Taipei. It was great the whole time. Had a blast hanging out and making friends, plus I even learned a little Chinese to boot. Shoutout to all those that made my experience what it was: Alin, Riona, Thomas, Sabrina, Tammy C, Tammy X, Ivory, Yunni, Sissi, Greta, Otty, Marine, Hannah, Sue, Sherry, Vivian, and to everyone else there who I'm sorry I may have forgot!

Thanks so much!
I had 4h every working day for 2 weeks. It was so great, I took another 2 weeks a month later on my 3 month japan trip. At this time LTL had no class rooms and no other students on my level. So in the first 2 weeks we learned 1:1 in star bucks and co. I liked this very much, beeing much more in touch to the real people/situations (ordering coffee myself for example), than in a classroom. The last hour was 'cultural program' (shrines/temples/ikebukuro...) where I spoke with my teacher as much as possible in English. This was great and the reason why we went to a different coffee shop every day. Yuki-Sama was a really great teacher and layed the fundament for talking to so much people in the small towns on my solo trip later. On the second 2-weeks I had class by Haru-Sama, another good teacher, also 1:1, but now at the temporal LTL place. In summary: Best note for LTL Tokio

I have had such an unforgettable experience at LTL Beijing! A place really is its people and here I had a magical time feeling at home with the LTL family.
Not only did I feel welcomed by everyone as soon as I stepped through the door- but even before I got to Beijing! My student advisor Ilaria and the school manager Linda patiently and diligently helped me to plan my trip and secure my visa before arrival. The school managers Jane and Linda are incredibly caring and light up the school. They would always be more than willing to give us recommendations to explore the city or help us out with anything at all like exchanging money. They would even go above and beyond to ensure we had a special experience like once we mentioned wanting to try out 功夫 and Linda would book this activity for us as a wonderful surprise.
All of the staff are incredibly patient in using Chinese and helping us outside of the classroom too! Every morning and in breaks they engage in Chinese chats with us to help us practice and brighten up our day. Sometimes they would have to repeat things or speak incredibly slowly for us and they would always do so with a smile which really helped me to learn. For instance Masako even taught us how to play Mahjong in Chinese! I also felt incredibly close to Beijing thanks to my connection Carol who would ensure I did all the things that excited me the most and made sure I always felt safe. Since I am vegetarian, I was previously worried that I would struggle but Carol took me to a fully vegetarian (and very well priced) buffet close to where I live, ensuring I didn't miss out on anything!
I couldn't be happier with my Chinese learning experience and am so lucky to have been taught by 王老师。 Lessons were so engaging, stimulating and interesting that I would remember them well and be able to incorporate phrases from class when interacting with the locals outside of class. I absolutely loved 王老师's teaching method as she was focused on ensuring we absorbed the crucial words and grammar to soar to a higher level while teaching us how to use the language as a natural 北京儿. So as well as advancing fast through the textbooks we often had activities like debates and topic discussions. 王老师 also taught us about culture as well as language- ensuring we ate like a local (with recommendations like the Durian pizza) as well as lived like one like practising our Chinese watching cinema recommendations. My friends would even ask me about my favourite times I'd had in Beijing and I would genuinely answer that lessons were one of the best!
I am forever grateful for the memories I have made here with the LTL family in Beijing and look forward to making more!

I had an excellent time at the Chengdu School. All the teachers were so welcoming, very knowledgable and went the extra mile to include you as part of their LTL family. It was well organised and suited to your needs. I would highly recommend this school to anyone!

Really glad you had a great time with us, Gaby. The team in Chengdu loved having you around and we hope you made lots of improvement with your Mandarin.
Hope to see you again soon.
I spent 4 weeks at LTL Chengdu, I loved my classmates, my classroom and my teacher!
Presli always supported me learn Chinese at a speed that suited me. Inside or outside of class she would always answer any questions and support me in my learning journey. She went above and beyond my expectations for a tutor, I am very glad to have been her student.
LTL Chengdu is a very social school, with daily lunch together and Social Thursdays every week. These were a great opportunity to practice my speaking skills with local chinese whilst also making friends. I highly recommend going to LTL Chengdu to fast track your Chinese language skills.

My experience with this program has been extremely good. The program offers a very friendly schedule with start time at nine and end time at six. This leaves plenty of time for students to be able to do whatever they want before and after such as talk to family or go out and explore. There is a perfect blend involved of learning a language and learning the culture. Not only that but you get to meet other people that come from all over the world who you can also learn from.

My weekly virtual 1-on-1 Mandarin sessions with Shayla have been great! She always expands our lesson beyond what's in the textbook - not only does she teach me related vocabulary and nuances between Taiwanese and Mainland usage, she also frequently provides historical and cultural background for phrases. Our conversations are always interesting and fun!

LTL is the second language school I have attended in China. LTL stands out because of its experienced teachers and the kind staff that is always ready to help you. After class LTL organizes many activities in which you discover Beijing, Chinese culture, and you can practice your Chinese outside of class ;). I definitely recommend this 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.

The staff is very friendly and approachable; The classes are personalized and in small groups which gives you dedicated attention and better results.

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!
