I had two weeks of educational leave in Chengdu. Chengdu is a great city with many opportunities. Great food and pandas to see! The school is in the City center. A modern building. I was very impressed with the LTL School. All the staff are incredibly welcoming, very helpful, and always there for me with advice and support. I had six hours of classes daily. Four hours were group lessons. There were three of us, and our teacher, Amy, did a fantastic job. She always motivated us and gave us a lot of information. She was also incredibly patient and even got us singing. That was fun and we really enjoyed it. My private lessons were two hours a day. Unfortunately, I had three different teachers during the first week. However, during the second week, I had the same teacher, Qi, and she was simply amazing! She helped me speak, was very patient and motivating, really listened to me, and we found topics we could talk about. Thanks to her, I felt very supported and was able to improve my Chinese. My homestay was with a woman who was a little younger than me. She was absolutely lovely, a fantastic cook, and I was very surprised by her friendly nature and helpfulness. She's a wonderful woman, and we're still in touch today. I'm so incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to get to know China, that I was able to improve my Chinese, and that I made new friends.
