Chinese Language Schools in Singapore

Finished my two weeks of learning Chinese today. I’m writing this review at a bar in Chengdu where I managed to exchange a couple of words with some other bar goers. Definitely was not expecting it when I landed to start the course. Two weeks really flew by and I cannot but suggest LTL Chengdu to everyone who wants to learn this amazing language. The program is well structured and follows the HSK levels, but in the end it really gets tailored to what you want or need. Big thanks to my teacher Stiles, teacher Ying, Ilaria and Giulia for the support during my stay. 马飞叔叔 out 😎

I had some chinese lessons when I was very young. Couldn't remember half of what I learned, and barely speak any mandarin. But within 2 months, I could finish the HSK 2 textbook, and half of the HSK 3, improving a lot of my speaking. The program is very well organized, from the scheduling of the classes, to the renting of the apartment/hostfamily and cultural activities.

Great pics, Ronaldo! So glad you had a great time in Beihai and everything went smoothly for you. Flying through the HSK too! Keep it up. LTL Team

Student advisors Mojca Godec & Savannah Feng were wonderful & truly helpful. I got more hours’ education than I deserved! Teacher Summer did a great job too! I logged 4 weeks’ 20hrs/week in a group of 2 + 2 weeks’ 10 hrs/week individual study, completing HSK 1 & most of HSK 2. I intend to continue next month with 4 weeks’ LTL Osaka small group study of Japanese, for which they gave me a 10% off coupon for successful Chinese language completion.

Super happy to hear it :) Thanks for leaving LTL Beihai such a glowing review! Japan next? Already excited. Let's go!! LTL Team

Școala este foarte bună cu profesorii foarte bine pregătiți într-un oraș turistic ,școala profesorii și orașul fac un mix foarte pozitiv. Am găsit în China un oraș foarte liniștit primitor cu oameni foarte buni , este vorba de orașul Beihai.

Ne bucurăm enorm că ai găsit în Beihai un oraș liniștit și primitor, iar mixul dintre școală, profesori și oraș ți-a plăcut atât de mult! Mulțumim că ai și-ai făcut timp să ne scrii. Spor în continuare la studiul limbii chineze și sperăm să ne revedem la LTL într-o zi! LTL Team

I only spent 5 days at the school, but even starting from zero, I learned some useful Chinese basics. The small classes with Stiles and especially the 1-on-1 lessons with Weiii were really helpful. There are also cultural activities to join, and Chengdu itself is an amazing city with lots to explore. Had a great time and would definitely recommend it!

5 days goes sooo fast! But we still had a blast didn't we! Thanks so much for the 5 stars. Happy we made a great impression in a short amount of time. LTL Team

I just finished my four week program in Chengdu and it exceeded my expectations by far! Before coming here I was worried about how to socialize with all the people and staff. Turns out they all were easy going and always in for a joke! By the time the first week had passed I already became friends with my Alex (my teacher), Pan Pan and Stiles. Later on I was also introduced to Wuyi. Alex is a great teacher with even better teaching skills. Whenever I didn‘t understand something or struggled following she’d always manage to explain it in a way I‘d understand. My chinese has progressed a lot in the past four weeks and time really flew by. Before coming to Chengdu I wouldn‘t have thought learning chinese could be such fun and easy. Alex, Pan Pan, Stiles and Wuyi are really funny and it motivated me to talk more to them using the chinese I had just been taught. Whenever we went out for lunch or having a safari day (lessons being taken outside) I made unforgettable experiences and learned more about Chengdu‘s culture and customs. Thus not only progressing my chinese skills but also my understanding of different habits. Chengdu‘s food is great and I enjoyed most of the dishes. However it might be a bit too spicy for foreigners as they tend to have a lower spice tolerance :P In my free time I got to discover local places thanks to Alex‘s tips! Pan Pan always had funny stories to tell which broadened my Vocabulary by quite a bit. Stiles talked to me about similar interest. Thus also helping with attaining a wider range of vocabularies. Wuyi was easy to talk to no matter the topic. In total I‘d rate my experience in Chengdu 5 out of 5 stars. There was nothing really that I could complain about. The food was yummy, my host family was welcoming and kind, my newly made friends were funny&easy going and my teacher had not only good teaching skills but also the same humor as me. Now thinking back it is sad I couldnt stay longer… I will definitely be coming back to LTL Chengdu if I get the opportunity!

Alex, PanPan, Stiles and Wuyi are all going to love reading this, especially the part about sharing the same sense of humour. Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a detailed review. Keep up the great work studying Chinese and we hope to see you back at LTL Chengdu again some day! LTL Team

I spent 2 weeks in Beihai （北海）this summer studying Chinese and it was one of the best classes I've ever had. The teacher and the school absolutely listened to what I wanted and needed - as I studied Chinese in university my level is high enough to qualify for single class only and my wish was to train my speaking ability again and to revise a lot! And that's what we did - 4h of speaking Chinese every day! In addition I really liked the overall atmosphere at the school, the staff are all very kind and fun, organizing activities for the students and helping them whenever they have any questions or needs. Additionally, I had a lovely homestay and got close to the family members in it. I feel very grateful for them and for how warmly they welcomed me into their home. In terms of location - the school is located conveniently in the city center. Beihai is not a big city, so public transportation is a bit of a hassle but it's still manageable even for those who don't dare to rent an e-Scooter (like me, lol). You will be able to enjoy a nice beach with seaside, seafood and other local specialities there. :-)

So happy to hear you had a great time with us and thanks for sharing the great pictures too :) We loved having you in Beihai and you made some excellent progress in just two weeks! Keep it up. Best wishes, LTL Team

From September 21 to October 9 I attended a small Chinese class at LTL in Beijing. It was really a great experience! In the morning, in a small group, I learned about several topics. The grammar and the vocabulary were introduced by Summer Wang, our teacher. She did a truly outstanding job. She was well prepared, spoke excellent English, challenged us and encouraged us to speak. In the afternoon I had one-on-one lessons with Snow Yang. I talked a lot with her and learned a great deal, not only about the language but also about the culture. Thanks to her empathetic, flexible and funny personality, we had great conversations. And I even learned to write some Chinese characters. I would like to thank the whole LTL team in Beijing for a wonderful time!

Thanks for your lovely words, Markus. We're delighted you had a great time studying with us in Beijing. Hope to see you back again someday soon! LTL Team

From 9/13 to 9/25 2026 I attended the A2-class in a small gruop at LTL - four students in the first week, three in the second. Our teacher, Alice He, did a great job answering all our questions and focus on the skills we needed to improve the most. My Chinese speaking skills definitely improved. I also enjoyed the lighthearted atmosphere - the staff was always ready to help, ready for a chat concerning life and challenges in Beijing. Linda organized great events - the Ditan book market and the sketching lessons were highlights. Rita accompanied me on several afternoons: 798, the tea museum, and her home were great possibilites to learn about life in China. All in all a clear recommendation for anyone at any age who wants to learn Chinese in Beijing. Hugs and many thanks Roswitha

Thanks so much for your kind words, Roswitha. We hope to see you again some day :) LTL Team

If you're wondering if one week is worth it, the answer is definitely yes! When we first met, I told Heather at LTL Beihai that my goals were practical Chinese for help as I travel and to work on my intonation. She took my request on board and tailored each lesson to my needs, working with me to improve vocabulary, sentence structure and practice tones and pronunciation. I strongly recommend Heather!

LTL Language School responded to this reviewOctober 13, 2026

So happy to hear it, Stephanie. It's a pleasure to hear you had such a great time in Beihai with us. Hope to see you again soon :) Best wishes, LTL Team

I am a person with Chinese ethnic origin but born and raised in Canada. Before studying with LTL, I could listen, speak, read, and write a bit, but it was far from fluent. I could speak to people in Chinese a bit, but I often felt insecure and embarrassed by my bad Chinese. I decided to spend 5 weeks with LTL. I spent the first week in Beijing to get transitioned into China, and then 4 more weeks in Chengde. I really enjoyed my time in Chengde. Land-wise, the city is quite small and very walkable. Everything is within a 30 minute walk. Didi rides are fairly cheap as well (around ￥5-10 a trip). Everyone I met here is friendly. I have been able to chat with the locals in Chengde and make friends. People say that Chengde is more slow-paced, which I can definitely feel in comparison to Beijing. I really enjoy a slower paced environment because I think that life shouldn't feel rushed! The city is still very lively and vibrant with a lot of people around you. Zhongwen's family has been an absolute pleasure to live with and I often played with her daughter in the evenings. Zhongwen has given me plenty of opportunities to connect with locals. Additionally, my teacher I-da Li has been a pleasure to work with. I-da is not afraid to correct my mistakes (accent and grammar), which I really appreciate because it helps me sound more Chinese! My confidence in my Mandarin has improved a lot. I find myself surprised that I can hold conversations fairly well. Even though I'm still not 100% fluent, I feel like this experience has given me the tools and confidence that I need to continue to improve my fluency. While I personally have tried not to speak in English in Chengde, I have found that there are quite a few locals interested in learning English. So, even if your Chinese is not perfect, you'll be able to connect with people who want to practice their English with you and you two can have an engaging language exchange.

LTL Language School responded to this reviewOctober 13, 2026

Wow Celina this is so great to read! We are thrilled I-da and Zhongwen both played such a big part in your positive experience in Chengde. Thanks so much for taking the time and keep up the great work studying Mandarin! LTL Team

I studied at LTL Chengdu for 3 months and had Panpan as my teacher. We had 4 hours of one-on-one class everyday. Panpan is very cultured and understands english extremely well so it was very easy to understand when she would translate and explain Chinese words, phrases, idioms, or even 抖音videos. Before I came to Chengdu, Panpan went out of her way to scout apartments for me to move in to. She is not only a good teacher but also a really good friend. She would always invite me to go out with her friends or other students who eventually became my friends. She always recommended something fun for the weekend and her knowledge on places to visit is top tier. She is also really funny and can get along with anybody! The teachers are awesome and have really good english. Panpan, Chenxin, Ying, Stiles, and Wuyi are some teachers at LTL Chengdu who made my learning experience as fun and enjoyable as it was.

Thanks Jason, it's been great to have you back at LTL again! We're happy to match your expectations and we hope you continue to make great progress going forward. LTL Team

I had a great time over 2 weeks in Chengdu with LTL. Panpan is a great teacher who helped tailor the lessons according to my level and interests. She is very kind in explaining any confusion and corrects my mistakes in grammar and pronunciation. She also gives great suggestion of the activities and sightseeing spots around Chengdu. Ying laoshi helped me well with onboarding, and I was well accommodated upon arrival. Giulia and Alex also brought me around Chengdu after class to watch Sichuan opera and try local cuisine.

Quest' anno per imparare meglio il cinese mi sono iscritta alla scuola LTL di Chengdu ed è stata una bellissima esperienza, ho avuto 2 insegnanti 盼 盼盼，陈鑫 meravigliose, mi hanno supportato molto bene perché io non so la lingua inglese, loro si sono prodigate a tradurre le lezioni in italiano

我跟 Dora 张老师学了中文。我喜欢她用简单的中文先来解释我不懂的新字（她不马上反应成英文）。她很耐性，也给我解释一下北京的地图和历史。我们也聊了一些可斗的事情。在LTL北京的学校学中文一个周的时候，我的中文进步了很多。我跟本地人都用中文聊。我好久没来到中国。近到中国之前，我有一点担心一开始到这里怎么办。但是，LTL的 survival kit 帮助我刚开始熟悉中国的环境。明天，我去承德在跟LTL过4周。我有希望承德的项目也会是很好的。

Chatting with locals in Chinese after just one week - Dora 张老师 will be so pleased to read this! We are thrilled the survival kit helped ease you in and we hope Chengde delivers just as much over the next four weeks. Thanks so much for taking the time and keep up the great work studying Chinese!

I really liked my one week of language School LTL. I learned and practiced a lot. And my teacher Alex and her collegeues Wuyi and Panpan were so helpful and we had so much fun. And it was also easy to meet other student, also during the after class activities.

I’m currently staying in Shanghai and enjoying it. My teachers Anna, Zhang, and Jaime are teaching me lot with them currently teaching me how to navigate around Shanghai. They’re very detailed with them going over grammar and using games to ensure the lesson is remembered.

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.
