Unforgettable experience at LTL Beijing! The team is lovely, and the teachers are qualified and dedicated. The school is very well located and easily accessible by subway.
The atmosphere is relaxed and family-like. Cultural activities are organized every week with the students! I loved my stay there, and I highly recommend this school without hesitation!

I spent 4 weeks at LTL Seoul and had a great time! My teacher Minji was amazing and I feel my Korean, especially my speaking skills, have improved a lot even in a short time. The activities organised by the school were also great for connecting with other students, engaging more in Korean culture and exploring the city. I highly recommend LTL Seoul if you want to learn Korean.

Had the most rewarding three weeks learning Korean in Seoul at LTL. My instructor, Minji, and the staff (Manuel, Hyunyoung, Lio, and Hailey) were super supportive and an absolutely pleasure to be around. Not only did my Korean improve, but I got to connect with other students and explore the city through the variety of after school activities. Can’t wait to be back! Thank you LTL Seoul!

I had a productive 1-to-1 session at LTL Mandarin's Beijing school for one week. It fully met my expectations. The instructor (Alice) has years of experience, and it showed. She provided interesting content that matched my language level, included "pronunciation drills" which were very helpful (but not excessive), and I had ample opportunity to clarify issues. Perhaps other language schools also have similarly qualified instructors, but I particularly appreciate LTL Mandarin's flexibility in terms of timing, number of days and hours per day. I hope to return next year for another week of 1-to-1 learning with LTL Mandarin (if the price is reasonable)!

I have just spent three great weeks at LTL Language School in Beijing
The LTL school staff are all very friendly and extremely helpful. Thanks to the numerous cultural activities organised by the school I visited some of the key landmarks in Beijing and participed in a number of activities such as traditional Chinese music and tai chi – these activities greatly enhanced the whole experience. A special thanks to my teacher Ava with whom I have thoroughly enjoyed studying and exchanging. I do believe this school has it all - good teaching, a variety of cultural activities and a great atmosphere. Bravo to all the staff members!

The teaching at LTL Chengdu is top notch. I want to thank my wonderful teachers Fang Ying and Pan Pan. You really feel that both teachers care about their students.
Both were patient with me, but also demanding, depending on the situation, which pushed me to the next level. I am very thankful for the intensive, but also fun classes.
The whole LTL Chengdu staff is incredibly welcoming and helpful. They also have a Chinese buddy program, so you have the chance to meet Chinese people and apply your newly acquired Chinese skills.

I stayed for 7 weeks at the LTL school in Beijing. It was an amazing experience! I took group classes in the class of teacher Alice. She was an amazing teacher with a lot of patience. She always explained new words very clearly and also talked about the local life of students. Apart from my teacher the other staff at the LTL were also great! They were very kind and supportive, especially when I felt homesick at times. I met amazing people there and did a lot of the cultural activities, further expanding my knowledge of Chinese culture. During those 7 weeks, I stayed at a host family, ms. Wang was an incredible host mother. Because their family did not speak any English, i was forced to communicate with them in Chinese, so i would even learn new words outside of school. Every single part about this program was just amazing. I am definitely returning sometime soon!

I had a very good experience studying at LTL language school in Beijing. The lessons were well organized, and the teachers were great. I made steady progress with my Chinese and met several nice classmates. When I got sick, the staff assisted me in finding a doctor and made sure I was okay. I can fully recommend the school to anyone interested in learning Chinese in Beijing. I felt very well taken care of because everyone at the school is so friendly.

Great Experience Learning Korean with 주희 at LTL Language School Seoul
I had the pleasure of learning Korean with 주희 at LTL Language School. She is a highly prepared, patient, and engaging teacher, with excellent communication skills. She is also very flexible and adaptable, always adjusting her lessons to suit my learning needs. In addition to teaching the language, she offered fascinating insights into Korean culture, which made the classes both enjoyable and enriching.

I did a two-week intensive 1:1 Chinese course in Chengdu with Ying, and it was such a great experience. Ying was super kind, funny, and patient. She always took the time to explain things clearly and made sure I really understood everything before moving on.
What I really liked was how flexible she was — she even offered help outside of class and made sure I felt comfortable and welcome in Chengdu. You can tell she truly cares about her students.
The lessons were interesting and fun. I’d recommend studying with Ying if you want to learn Chinese in a supportive and friendly environment.

I studied for four weeks in October at the LTL Japanese school in Tokyo. It was an absolutely wonderful experience! They developed a program for me based on my specific needs and interests.
I especially enjoyed the extracurricular activities which gave me a chance to meet other students from the school, and explore all that Tokyo has to offer.
The teachers and support staff were great, and the school is in a great faciity in a convenient location - close to two stations on the Yamanote line! I hope I can return soon!

This is my second time in Seoul within two months, and I've been attending private lessons for a week each time. The second time around, my teacher, Dasom, was also very patient with me, and I learned a great deal. Since we only communicated in Korean during class and only used the translation app in difficult situations, I was able to understand much more afterwards than before.
I highly recommend this school! I will definitely book another one-week private course during my next stay and try out the online courses until then. Many thanks again to the great team.

I spent two weeks at LTL Seoul with German Bildungsurlaub, and it was amazing. Although two weeks of intensive classes was demanding, my learning output was great! The team at LTL Seoul is very supportive and customer-oriented. My two teachers, Kyle and Hyeri, did an absolutely amazing job, and I wouldn't trade the world for anybody else. Both knew their students, class, and content outstandingly well and did an amazing job with the learners. The school is VERY conveniently located in Seoul itself but also in Hongdae. As prices for private language classes and language schools tend to be high, I would definitely always choose LTL, as their student-centered services are exceeding on all levels.

We have just returned home from a six week stay in Beijing where we attended language classes at LTL Beijing. This was our first visit to China and we decided that we would base ourselves in the city and get to know it as well as learn Chinese. My husband is also Chinese and though not born in China, his late parents came from north China and Hong Kong. For him, our trip to China was very much one of heritage and our time in Beijing did not disappoint us.
We chose LTL Beijing based on the good reviews the School had received from satisfied students. However, as an older couple, we also had some initial reservations that the student community at the School would be much younger and may not want to mix. The School assured us that our ages would not be a problem and they were right. The international student community at the School could not have been more friendly and welcoming to us. We soon felt very much at home in their company and have made some good friends. It was such a positive experience to meet and get on with people from different countries.
The language lessons themselves were well-structured and informative. Our teachers, Lilia and Alice, were very friendly, approachable and very patient particularly when answering our queries about grammar and Chinese culture. Both are very committed and dedicated teachers. In the lessons, they would encourage us to create our own sentences in Chinese; correct our pronunciation and use of tones when we spoke; and explain particular aspects of grammar. For my husband who has some knowledge of Cantonese but not Mandarin, his progress was impressive. By the end of our six week stay, he could manage a basic conversation in Mandarin which gave him the confidence to even make jokes! His teacher was Lilia and my husband felt he gained much from her insightful and supportive teaching. My teacher was Alice. Her lessons were very engaging and as the days passed, I found that I could understand more when she spoke to the class in Mandarin. Alice was very encouraging about our use of tones and would ask us to repeat words and phrases until she was satisfied that we were getting a feel for the spoken words.
The staff at LTL Beijing were just great! They were very friendly and helpful if we had any queries. The staff were happy to answer our questions and were very cheerful. They made us feel very welcome. Both Ilaria, the School’s Student Advisor, and Masako taught us mahjong which we would play in the breaks between our lessons. My husband became pretty good at it and won several games but I have yet to experience that!
The School’s events programme for the students was varied but not mandatory. The choice was left up to the individual if they wished to participate or not. Getting involved in the events was a great way to socialise more with our fellow students and to find out more about Beijing. The School’s Director, Linda, had put a lot of thought and planning into the variety of activities and events for the students. We attended a tea ceremony, pottery sessions, had a chance to dress in period costumes from the Qing Dynasty, visited the Drum Tower and a highlight for my husband was a visit to the Great Wall. Ilaria was responsible for the evening events and these were well planned and very sociable occasions. We did some karaoke at KTV which was great fun and also attended a Beijing Opera event which was interesting but not to everyone’s taste.
For our accommodation, we opted for a home-stay as we were keen to live with a Chinese family so we could speak more Mandarin and as this was our first time to Beijing, the family could help us to get to know the city more. We stayed with a lovely couple – Shi Zhong and Fang Fang – and had a great time with them. They were so helpful particularly at the beginning when we were experiencing issues with Alipay and WeChat.
In all, we had a fantastic time in Beijing. It is a challenging yet vibrant city with a fascinating history. Our time at LTL Beijing was very enjoyable and both of us feel we have gained a lot in our language learning. We felt very welcomed at the School and have made some lovely friends. Thanks LTL Beijing for all your support and we plan to return one day.

I recently studied Vietnamese in Hanoi with Thuý Hiền (Jasmine) through LTL Language School, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish.
Although LTL doesn’t yet have a physical campus in Hanoi, the school runs its operations there extremely smoothly. The LTL team was incredibly organized and supportive—they helped arrange my airport transfers, taught me how to use the Grab ride service (Vietnam’s version of Uber), and placed me with a wonderful Vietnamese host family. Their attention to detail made my stay easy and enjoyable, so I could focus entirely on learning the language and culture.
My teacher, Thuý Hiền, was exceptional. She’s patient, engaging, and knows exactly how to help students build confidence in speaking Vietnamese. One of the highlights of my course was participating in what LTL calls “language safaris”—teacher-guided field trips around Hanoi to explore cultural and historical sites while practicing Vietnamese in real situations. These safaris were fun, educational, and a great way to apply what I’d learned in class.
I highly recommend both LTL Language School and Teacher Thuý Hiền (Jasmine) to anyone serious about learning Vietnamese. Studying in Hanoi was an unforgettable experience, and I can’t wait to return!

My 3-week program at LTL was incredible, and a huge part of that was my teacher, Panpan. She made learning Chinese not only effective but also really fun. Her patience and clear explanations gave me the confidence to pass the HSK 1 exam. 很高兴 !
Outside of class, the Chengdu Safari was a highlight. We got to explore amazing parts of the city, which was a fantastic and immersive cultural experience. It was the perfect way to practice what we learned in class.
I can't recommend Panpan enough. Tā shì zuì hǎo de lǎoshī! If you're thinking about studying at LTL, you should definitely do it
