Lezioni Individuali

I first studied with LTL in 2012, in Beijing. My aunt’s friend is a travel agent and I found LTL through her.

I enjoyed my time at LTL, but I was eager to try out a different city this time around. I’ve heard good things about Shanghai. When I arrived in Shanghai everything was smooth and easy, within two days I already knew where things were, and who to ask.

I stayed in a homestay, the location was very convenient and my homestay mother was a very nice person. It was a very welcoming, and friendly atmosphere and I was told to just relax and feel at home. They were always willing to help me out with anything.

My classes were great. I loved how I would have conversations with the teacher at the start, and then we would learn and review words based on this conversation. All in all I had four different teachers and they were all great. The more you get to know them the easier the learning becomes. With 1 on 1 classes you really get to know your teachers which makes learning easier. I really learned a lot during my time at LTL.

Overall I had a great time at LTL, the social life was amazing, I always felt welcome, and Shanghai is just an amazing city.

I originally studied in Beijing, but have been there for 3 times already, so I wanted to go to a different place. I haven’t been so much to Shanghai and I heard it’s an interesting place so I wanted to try it out. LTL could offer Individual classes, as well a flexible schedule and a Homestay, which were all important to me.

I signed up for the “Discover Shanghai” upgrade, which was nice, especially if it’s your first time in Shanghai. We went to the Oriental Pearl Tower, Xintiandi, Nanjing East Road Shopping Area, The Yu Gardens, The City God Temple and The Bund.

Before coming to China I didn’t like Chinese food, so I was nervous that I might not like the food of the Homestay family, but I found it was actually delicious. Best Chinese food I ever had!

I had the Intensive Individual classes. I had really good teachers. Everyone was very patient and accommodated my learning.

I want to come back to China to study even more Chinese, and maybe do an internship. We’ll see.

My name is Stuart, I’m from Australia but my parents are from South Korea. I studied medicine in university, and wanted to go with my friends to China to do a Chinese study program Chinese. While Googling for places to study, the LTL website popped up. Me and my friends decided to search up a bit more, and found that LTL had like a lot of reviews! One amazing review site listed some 25 reviews with really high ratings. I then called up the school and talked with the school director, and I was really impressed. The guy seems like he really knew his stuff, not to mention he also sounded very interested in helping me learn Mandarin, regardless of coming to this school or not. That’s always a good feeling : )

When I arrived to Shanghai, after organising the program with LTL, we started classes and they were really great! My teacher was amazing, we really clicked! We were having an Individual 1 on 1 program, which was organised really well, and my teacher also hung out with us after class, so it was really easy to make friends with her. The environment of the school was really great. We had a lot of fun LTL dinners, and the social presence of the school director really rocks! The atmosphere was very casual, which felt very welcoming, and I enjoyed hanging out and talking with the staff after and in-between classes.

I can say that originally I didn’t want to go to Shanghai due to the higher costs of living and the high foreign population, and I was a bit unsatisfied about this until I came anyway. Shanghai didn’t win me over, LTL did!

I definitely want to come back and study again at LTL if I’m able to, or at the least, will definitely visit.
