Study Abroad Programs

My course was a good mixof revision for grammar and language that I have known already from my school and also many useful informations about how I can teach the language to others. It is a clean website and has many extra bonus learning resources.

Today I finished my 4 week study program in Kunming and i must say it really exceeded my expectations! The city itself is very relaxed, the temperature is comfortable and the scenery here is stunning. Aside from that the LTL staff as well as Host family I have stayed with made a positive impression on me and I am really satisfied. My 1 on 1 teacher 董老师 proved herself to be very competent. I had achieved my set language level easily within the time frame. She seemed to always know what I my strengths and weaknesses are and created a personalized learning program for me. I‘d also like to thank Savannah and Alex K. for taking care of me and my wellbeing throughout my stay in Kunming!! It was really refreshing to get to know the Kunming LTL staff. I would totally recommend this program for anyone who is interested in learning chinese, good food and a wonderful city! 10/10 experience!!

I have really enjoyed the development of the curriculum throughout my MD studies. The subjects become increasingly connected to clinical medicine as you progress, and I find that this gives the material much more meaning. By third year, I can see how much the earlier scientific foundation has contributed to my understanding of more advanced topics.

Osaka was much fun and the staff at Meiji definitely contributed to it. The lessons were focused on communicative Japanese with separate classes where we cracked through the grammar and Kanji writings. Vocabs took quite a bit of time but the teachers were very patient and had good revision lessons at the beginning of the lectures. Events were the best bit and the local exchanges with Japanese students and Takoyaki bar hoppings were fun too. Will be back in Osaka for sure!

The programme has helped me become much more independent with my learning. I have learned how to organise my time, work through difficult material and take responsibility for understanding topics properly. That has been one of the most valuable things I have taken from my experience at NAU.

for anyone who wants to study medicine abroad, i think NAU is worth considering. the pre med program has given me a good introduction to the subjects i will need and i already feel more confident about starting my medical studies

The staff, the course, the price, the activities, just everything is so well put together. I’m happily pay double or triple the price now that I’ve done it, though I’m glad I didn’t pay more lol. I’m just waiting now for my course summary download, which I’m told is a new thing…let’s see…

I had a great experience with my teacher carol. It was very fun and I learned a lot. I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn Chinese. The entire staff here was wonderful, and I loved the outside activities scheduled. The whole process of applying was easy, and the staff gave step-by-step instructions.

Hello Michel, we're so happy to hear you're loving the experience! 💙 Thank you for recommending our school to others. Your support inspires us to keep helping more people achieve their Chinese goals. Keep learning and shining! 🌎✨

I did a 3 month program with this School. All teachers and staff here were great! Since the beginning I felt welcomed and included in all activities that took place. I am grateful to my teacher qingqing. She is professional and friendly at the same time. She was enthusiastic in every class which made classes a lot of fun but also ensured that lessons matched my learning pace. Qingqing was a huge support inside and outside of the class. I am also thankful to Giulia, who was a great help as I navigated many things while being in China for the first time.Thanks a lot.

One of the areas in which I have noticed the most personal development during my MD studies is clinical reasoning. As a second-year student, I am becoming increasingly interested in how individual pieces of information contribute to understanding a clinical problem. Working through medical scenarios requires more than recalling isolated facts; it requires consideration of the information available and an understanding of how different findings relate to one another. I have found this particularly interesting because it changes the way I approach studying. I am increasingly asking myself why a particular finding occurs and what it could indicate, rather than simply trying to memorise the information.

I went to Korea University over the summer and it's safe to say it was the best summer yet. WorldStrides was extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the whole process. Their excursions were a lot of fun and gave me the opportunity to meet other students that came with WorldStrides as well. The staff was always available when needed and knew what to do when asked questions. The summer was so much fun, I got to travel all over Seoul and make memories everyday! I cannot recommend this enough!

the faculty have been really approachable since i started at NAU. if i dont understand something or need help with a topic, i can actually speak to someone about it. that has made a big difference for me especially with the harder subjects

I've been having a great experience at the Suzhou school! The staff are very helpful and encouraging, particularly my teacher Sisi who is always friendly and patient, listening carefully and helping me with my spoken Chinese. I recommend this school to anyone wanting to learn mandarin ☺️

Ive been learning with Lily from LTL for the past 3 weeks and my Chinese has come on so far since the first lesson. Aside from language lessons, Lily also organised trips outside to sightsee which have been fun and informative and improved both my language skills and knowledge of Chinese history. I’m really glad I chose to do this course, I don’t think many other courses could’ve improved my Mandarin this fast.

So glad to read your review and kind words, Jessica :) We're delighted you've had a great time with us and we hope you keep improving! LTL Team

I spent three weeks in Chengdu and had such a good experience. Starting with the pre-arrival call with Ying 老师， everyone was super friendly and helped whenever they could: my suitcase was lost by the airplane and Ying as well as my teacher Panpan helped getting it back. Also, the team helped me book tennis lessons and had a lot of tips for exploring Sichuan (thank you @Ying @Panpan @Guilia @Ilaria). Regarding the lessons: I had group lessons with Panpan, the class was very small (3 to 5 students) and Panpan is an amazing teacher (and great dancer and cat mom:)) and so much fun! Not only did I learn a lot, we also had such a good time in- and outside of class. Shoutout to Alex and Stiles as well :)

Tennis lessons, a lost suitcase rescue and Panpan's dancing, quite the three weeks! We are thrilled Ying, Panpan, Giulia, Ilaria, Alex and Stiles all played their part. Thanks so much for taking the time and keep up the great work studying Chinese! LTL Team

My experience studying abroad in Barcelona with CEA CAPA was one of the best experiences I have had in college. I chose Barcelona because I have always loved Spain and wanted the opportunity to experience Spanish culture, travel, try new foods, and explore a new city. From the beginning, CEA CAPA made me feel welcomed and supported. Moving to a new country can definitely feel overwhelming, especially at first, but the CEA CAPA staff were always there to help and made me feel much more comfortable throughout my experience. One of the things I appreciated most about CEA CAPA was how safe and supported I felt while abroad. The staff were welcoming, approachable, and made it easy to ask questions or get help whenever I needed it. Knowing that I had people there who cared about my experience made being so far from home feel much less intimidating. I also loved that CEA CAPA helped create a community where I could meet other students and feel like I was not alone in a new country. I was able to become more independent while still knowing I had a support system if I needed one. Overall, studying abroad in Barcelona was an experience I will never forget. CEA CAPA gave me the opportunity to experience a new culture, meet amazing people, travel, and grow as a person while also making me feel safe and welcomed. I would definitely recommend CEA CAPA to anyone considering studying abroad, especially students who may be nervous about living in another country for the first time. It made the entire experience feel more comfortable, supported, and exciting.

I went to Beijing with my classmates from school — all of us Italian, so we were in the same boat. I want to write about my experience because I read other reviews before going and they helped me a lot. So maybe this can help someone else too. I won't lie, the start was hard. The flight was long and the time change really hit me. For the first day or two I was just tired and confused, and I did not feel like doing anything. But after that, things got much better and I started to enjoy everything. I think this is normal when you travel so far. The classes were in the morning. I have to say, I did not expect to like them so much. Our teacher was really funny and she never made us feel stupid for making mistakes. She would explain words by acting them out, so sometimes she was running around the classroom or making faces, and we were all laughing. We played games too, like one where you describe a word and others guess it. My friend tried to describe "panda" by pointing at herself and looking sad. Everyone was laughing so hard that the teacher had to wait for us to stop. Because the mood was so relaxed, I was not afraid to speak, even when my Chinese was wrong. That is a big thing for me, because at school at home I usually stay quiet and never put my hand up. Here I actually wanted to answer. I still mix up the tones and I know I say many things in a strange way, but it did not matter. Nobody was judging. That feeling is hard to explain, but it made me want to learn more. The afternoons were for activities. We went to markets and saw a tea ceremony, which was more interesting than I expected. We also tried calligraphy, and I learned that I hold a brush very badly. The teacher i sthere was patient with me, which I appreciated. We walked a lot, so my legs were always tired, but in a good way. I liked that every day was different and we were never bored. About the food: it was different, but good. Some dishes I loved and some I didn't finish. That's normal, I think. I'm Italian, so I have strong opinions about food, and even I found things I liked. Things I did not love: the metro at rush hour is really crowded, and sometimes it was too loud and too much for me. By the end, being with the same group all the time was a bit much, and I needed some time alone. But I think that happens to everyone on a trip like this. What I will remember most is the small moments. One night a few of us sat outside and talked until late. One morning I walked alone before class and just watched the city wake up. Those are the things I will keep. So, my opinion: I'm happy I went. It was not a perfect holiday, but it was a real experience, and I think that is better. If you are thinking about it, I would say yes. Go.

We are so glad the relaxed atmosphere helped you find your voice and want to answer, even when the tones were not quite right. Thanks so much for sharing your story and we hope Beijing stays with you for a long time. Also great picture!! LTL Team

Two weeks. Fourteen days in a city I never see before, with people I never meet before, in a language I don't really understand. And now I think... wow. This was one of the best things in my life. I am 16, from Italy, and this is my little story about Beijing with LTL. Before I go, I was a little nervous. Two weeks is long time, and China is so far from everything I know. My friends say, "Why China? Why not the beach?" But I want something special, something vera — real! And now I can say: brava, me! It was the right choice. The first thing that surprise me about Beijing is... it is HUGE! Mamma mia, really really big! The roads are so wide, the buildings go up and up, and there are people everywhere. It's loud, it's busy, full of energy. Sometimes it was too much and I need a quiet moment still love it But most of the time I love it. I love to walk around and just watch the life. And Beijing is beautiful too. Not like Italy — we have old churches, small streets, the sea, il sole. Beijing is beautiful in a different way. It mixes everything: old temples next to glass towers, tiny shops next to big malls, bicycles next to cars. I really like this. Bellissimo. The LTL school is in the centre of Beijing, very close to the subway. I love this because after class we can go everywhere so easy. And the school organise so many activities for us! In the afternoon we do things together — we go walking in the hutong. we visit the Temple of Heaven , we see the 798 Art District. Amazing Great Wall! One time we even do tai chi and caligrapgy, very traditional. Every day is different, sempre qualcosa di nuovo. And the food! The school give us different food every day for lunch, and I really appreciate this because in Italy we are very very serious about food, so I was a little worried. But it was fun to try new things every day. Some dishes I love, some I don't understand at all, but I always try. This is part of travel, no? Of course, I miss Italy. I miss my mamma's cooking, my bed, my friends, and just speaking Italian without thinking. There are days when I feel a little sad. Ma passa presto — it passes quickly, because there is always something new or someone new to talk to. What I remember most are the people. I meet students from many countries, and we become like a little family. We laugh, we get lost together, we help each other. I also learn that I am stronger than I think. I can be far from home. Che bello! Two weeks go by so fast. I come back to Italy with a full heart, a lot of photos, and a lot of new words. If you think about this program — go! Non pensare troppo. Just go. You will come back different.

Coming back to Italy with a full heart, new words and the confidence to know you are stronger than you think - at 16, that is pretty special. Thanks so much for sharing your story and we hope Beijing pulls you back one day. Non pensare troppo! LTL Team

Thank you so much for this amazing week! Your class was my favorite part of every day. You are so kind and patient, and you always help us when we don't understand. You never get angry when we make mistakes, and you make us feel safe to try. I respect you very much. I learned a lot from you, and I will never forget this week. Thank you, teacher!
