Language Programs

A great way to quickly learn a language (and all the quirks of the local dialect, which textbooks and apps often don’t cover) is to learn that language abroad! Foreign language courses at international language schools will be a lot more effective than that language learning app you never open anymore. Why? Because you can put all of those verb conjugation charts into use after class to see how those idiomatic expressions hold up with locals. In order to learn a language, you need practice. A lot of practice. Language programs abroad have you covered!

My time in Shanghai

July 12, 2025by: Nele Uber - GermanyProgram: LTL Language School || Learn Chinese (11 Cities)
9

What I really enjoyed about my two months living in Shanghai were the friends I made in school and outside. There are so many people from different parts of the world that you can experience things with. Also living with host family is very good for people who are interested in Chinese culture. Our teachers Jason and Lois were great. You could always go to them with any questions and they have a lot of background information. Jason is an expert on cats and history which makes class so fun. Lois has so many suggestions about things you can do or cities you can travel too, it never gets boring in her class.
