Language Schools in China

The world’s top companies operate in at least one of China’s three leading cities: Hong Kong, Shanghai, or Beijing. Therefore, these three cities have the largest number of language schools in China and serve as the best places to study languages abroad.

Hong Kong is a global trading hub and one of the most densely populated areas in the world. The city’s historical roots as a British colony make it an “East meets West” city. If you’re just beginning to study Chinese, you might want to consider attending a language school in Hong Kong as the majority of residents speak English.

Shanghai is China’s economic capital and the largest city in China, with over 14 million people. This exciting city is a fusion of Eastern and Western culture, and is the most international area in all of China. Boasting over 50 skyscrapers in its skyline, while still containing small historical markets throughout the city, you’ll see firsthand the juxtaposition of old and new.

Beijing is the capital of China and the center for the country’s political entities. The city also houses seven UNESCO world heritage sites, making it the perfect place for language students interested in learning more about China’s history.

A Month That Greatly Influenced My Life

I spent four weeks at LTL Beijing in the group classes. Since I’m considering studying Chinese in China for a year next year, I wanted to experience daily life in China and what it’s like to study in a Chinese language classroom. In the end, I gained far more than I expected. First of all, our teacher Tara was truly outstanding. She has the ability to explain grammar and vocabulary perfectly in English. She was also someone I could really rely on — she even helped me buy a smartphone in China. I really admire Tara’s intelligence, as well as her natural and friendly personality. My classmates were also amazing. All of them were far more capable than I was, and I was inspired not only by their attitude toward learning but also by their perspectives on life. LTL Beijing may be a bit expensive, but it attracts people who are absolutely worth the investment. It even made me feel like coming back to LTL next year instead of attending a Chinese university! Thank you so much for the four wonderful weeks.

I studied about half a year in Wuxi. The staffs were super friendly and willing to help for everything, Alice was my teacher when she was explaining everything she made every doubt clear. Everyone was so friendly and kind.
