It was a wonderful experience, I've lived a second life. The lessons were very engaging and the staff became like a family in two weeks. During the trips I saw some wonderful places. Overall it was the best experience I've ever had.

The school is so beautiful and I loved our teachers especially Alex ,she was so kind, Wu yi, Pan Pan and Stiles. They all were so kind and always available for everything, I also loved Giulia and Jeff they were the best and prepared so many beautiful trips for us. I had the best moments of my live here and I don’t want to go back to Italy anymore. I will miss you so so so so much!!

I had the best time, the school was absolutely fantastic and really professional. My teacher, Alex, really helped me with my chinese, she was so patient and overall a really nice person to work and learn with. The other teachers i had the pleasure to meet were Panpan, Wuyi and Stiles, and they were very friendly and always helpful in every way. I’m proud to say that LTL really made this trip to china the best experience for me

Я очень рада, что выбрала школу that’s mandarin. Она идеально отвечает моим критериям- занятия проходят в интенсивном режиме и в очень комфортной и дружеской атмосфере. Отдельно хочу отметить профессионализм преподавателей. За небольшое время обучения я значительно подтянула свои разговорные навыки и узнала много нового. Впереди еще несколько месяцев учебы, уверена, что мой уровень китайского значительно вырастет! Спасибо школе за грамотный подход к обучению, индивидуальный подход и теплую атмосферу общения

My experience was incredible first of all because at school there was Violet, our favourite teacher, who is simply wonderful in everything she does. We learned many new things in Chinese and this helped me a lot to learn and improve my level of Chinese. Now I will miss Violet so much and I hope I can meet her one day.

The course has been incredibly informative - the teachers get through a lot of content within each class, but strike an excellent balance between a good pace and pushing you to apply your new knowledge, all while maintaining a friendly yet professional atmosphere. Additionally, the wealth of resources provided via the app make studying so much easier and I have really been able to notice the progress I've made over the months since starting!

J'ai 17 ans et cela fait 2 semaine que j'étudie à That's Mandarin, à Chengdu. J'adore les cours ici. L'application est super simple à utiliser et très pratique, je peux révisé n'importe où à n'importe quel moment. Toutes les personnes que j'ai rencontré, prof et autres employés sont adorables, très gentils et toujours souriant. C'est un environnement super agréable et propice à l'apprentissage. J'ai déjà beaucoup progressé en seulement 2 semaines grâce à eux. Les pauses permettent sont les moments qui permettent de s'entraîner à parler et à comprendre le chinois sans qu'il y ait de jugements ou moquerie, que du soutien et de l'encouragement. Je recommande cette école à tout ceux qui souhaitent progresser rapidement dans un environnement des plus agréables.

I've been at That's Mandarin for 5 weeks, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time at the language school so far. The teaching staff are all very friendly, and create a positive and supportive environment that strongly encourages everyone to use and grow their mandarin skills as much as possible. Even throughout short breaks, before and after class, the positive and hardworking atmosphere fosters significant improvement in Mandarin skills, which developed my Chinese speaking ability very quickly. The learning platform is incredibly impressive, and highly supportive when learning Mandarin in your own time. The social events the school puts on every 2 weeks are very enjoyable, and a great opportunity to create authentic connections with teachers and other students. Fortunately, I have another 7 weeks with the school, but I'm not sure if it is enough! Couldn't recommend this language school more highly.

我很喜欢这个学校！我学了很多中文，我觉得很有用，也很好玩儿。我也认识了很多好新朋友。我希望有一天可以回来了！I really loved getting to know everyone here and meeting new people from all over the world, it was so cool! The teachers are really nice and patient as well, I learned a lot!

Very skilled teachers. Well prepared each day. Kind and also very patient handling our difficulties. Also had a lot of fun. School is very well and nicely equipped. Such as interior or IT. School-books are of high quality and the learning platform nihao-cafe integrates daily lessons with training videos and exercises. When I will be back in Germany I will most likely continue to study Chinese with That"s Mandarin / Nihao/cafe. Thank you!

I would happily recommend the group classes. The teachers are very dedicated and helpful with their suggestions, and provide helpful advice whilst keeping the class going at a good level. The program is on the whole well organised, although on the first day could have been a little clearer on what the expectations are within the classes. I found some classes are maybe too large with too much difference in the skill level which can slow learning - for non-beginners perhaps 1-to-1 learning is a better path.

So I‘m currently half-way through my 4 week stay in Kunming and I must admit it has exceeded my expectations so far! When I first arrived I got sick for a few days (hence the new environment and exhaustion). However the Organisator Savannah aswell as my Host Family and Alex (Vice CEO) were very welcoming and provided great hospitality! Thanks to them I was able to recover quickly and start my studies in Kunming. In my opinion Kunming is worth a visit for it‘s beautiful landscape, yummy food, relaxed people and of course the perfect weather. My studies here went flawless and so far I was able to develop my chinese skills quickly thanks to the incredible teaching skills, experience and methods of my teacher Helene. Overall my program here has been going very smoothly and although I am taking one on one lessons I still get to talk to other people such as Alex who takes me out for lunch most days :) The only struggles I have experienced so far were getting used to the new surroundings as well as the rarity of traditional western toilets :P

Thanks so much for your lovely words, Colin. The pictures are great too! We're so pleased you had a blast in Kunming with us. Fancy doing it again sometime? Best wishes, LTL Team

I stayed a total of three months at LTL Beijing, with a mix of group classes and individual 1-on-1 lessons. The experience as a whole has been very positive, from the registration process (where my assigned student advisor was great) to the lessons themselves, which managed to raise my initially very rusty Mandarin level enough to now be able to get through daily life quite comfortable (including getting a haircut!). A particularly big thank you therefore to my two teachers – Lilian老师 and Sara 老师 – for their patience and engagement! The lessons with them were very interactive, focused, and overall an enjoyable and educative experience – 感谢你们!

Thanks so much for your lovely words, Nicolas :) It was a pleasure to have you in Beijing for 3 months and we'd love to welcome you back one day! Best wishes, LTL Team

This was the first time I had been on a language stay (I was there for 3 weeks). LTL Beihai school was smaller but very cosy, I got the learning materials from the school, and the teaching style is very individualised (I definitely appreciate that). My teacher Summer is simply the best (I really enjoyed it with her), the headmistress Savanah is very helpful and kind (she tried to organise lots of activities that we students could all do together), and my host family is absolutely amazing (I really felt at home). The city of Beihai has something about it; it is peaceful, but at the same time there are lots of places to go here (shopping centres, night markets, old streets, the beach). I really like it here.

I thoroughly enjoyed my two weeks at Maximo. My teacher Marianella was excellent and my classmates were a lot of fun. All of the staff at Maximo were overwhelmingly helpful and pleasant. The building itself wow on air-conditioned was a great place to spend downtime and do homework. the pool was an excellent bonus. I definitely improved my Spanish and I’m very pleased with the results. Additionally, the cultural experiences were excellent. I especially loved the sea turtle release and the cooking classes. I will definitely recommend Maximo to friends and family.

Really enjoyed our two weeks doing Spanish immersion. Instruction was top notch, professional. Learned a lot. The program is well organized and staff is there to help you with anything you might need. I’d recommend this program to anyone.

First time Japan, first time Bildungszeit and first time REAL Sushi! I think this sums up my first day in Japan when I arrived. And yes, not Tokyo or Osaka. I wanted to see the real Japan and found it here in Sapporo. The city felt like back home in Europe but at the same time so surreal and new things to discover. The food here is so fresh and the variety of things to try was overwhelming. The school did a great job organizing events and other activities for the students. Sometimes it felt a bit overwhelming with all the new things to memorize and Japanese take a bit of time to properly sack in but I successfully survived my two weeks here:) Hope to come back again and definitely recommend everybody to do their paid work leave in Japan too!
