LTL Language School

Best languageschool experience! Communication: Top! Even before booking fast and helpful response (in your mother tongue), in Seoul the team is sooo helpful. Whatever question you have...they are present and help. You are totally lost somewhere in the city? send a message. They will help. Location: you ll find LTL in a supernice student district, easy to reach by couple of subwaylines, many restaurants, clubs, bars, shops School/Classrooms: As LTL does not do huge classes, you have rooms for max 8 people, with a lot of light, all with aircon)heating. Also after classes you can study in the front area or have a nice chat (or learning) on the outside terrace. Your morning only works with coffee? no problem, coffeemachine provided. Iced Coffee? ice cubes provided. as well as tea, water and so on. course: after finding out your level you enter a course of a few people only. in a very personal and easy going atmosphere. even though focused on learning, there s always time for some chatting and intercultural exchange. crowd: international mix, all ages, openminded, mixing well. me near 50, was a bit afraid it might be difficult going to school/course with genz/alpha. Not at all. Thanks to openminded and inclusive atmosphere. and to: Teacher: We had Kyle as super skilled teacher. He managed a very mixed group of 4, different age and nationality, different backgrounds in a perfect way. In a personal approach he encouraged, motivated and gave guidance. Starting from absolutely ZERO within 4 weeks i feel safe to speak. Of course more practice in writing reading and vocabulary needed. But the base is there to proceed on your own. 감사합니다, Kyle씨. And all this in a not pushy but very relaxed way! After school avtivities: LTL team organizes a lot of team activities. exploring nearby restaurants, art and craft courses, escaoe rooms, clumbing, pool excursions, korean calligraphy course..and many more. And LTL is not asking additiona fees. Prices: I did a research before, and seeing what others offer, LTL is best value for money. perfect service, good facilities, small classed, superskilled teacher/teaching method, extra progams, and supersweet team. I ll definitely come back and go on with course.

I stumbled upon this place while visiting Taiwan and decided to spend a couple of weeks working on my Chinese (after getting frustrated that everyone seemed to speak English in and around the hotel I was staying at). It turned out to be a great decision; really welcoming staff (shout out to Greta, Alin and Riona), lots of social activities with friendly students of various ages, levels and backgrounds and an immersive teaching environment, which was absolutely what I needed to give my faltering Chinese a much-needed push. I'm really grateful to both of my teachers, Jessica and Jack, who were both knowledgeable and engaging and were able to adapt my one-to-one time with them to suit my specific language learning needs. I'll definitely pay the Taipei LTL school another visit next time I'm in the country!

In June, I was fortunate enough to spend two weeks in Chengdu attending an intensive Chinese language course at the LTL-School. Having previously lived in China for two and a half years, I wanted to refresh and improve my Chinese skills. LTL’s promise of an immersive learning experience, combined with the option of staying with a Chinese host family, immediately caught my attention. Organization Everything went very smoothly from start to finish. My initial contact with the school was excellent, and the staff were always patient and helpful when answering my questions. Airport pickup was well organized and completely hassle-free. While it would have been nice to receive the host family’s contact details and address a little earlier, this ultimately turned out not to be an issue at all. Homestay I stayed with a wonderful host who stopped by every day to prepare breakfast and dinner. She made me feel incredibly welcome from the very beginning, and I had plenty of opportunities to chat with her. She was very patient, and I really appreciated having someone to practice my Chinese with outside of the classroom. At the same time, I enjoyed having my own room and bathroom, which gave me enough privacy to relax and recharge after classes. Location I absolutely loved Chengdu. I know China quite well and have visited many major cities, but Chengdu ranks very high on my list. This is largely due to my overwhelmingly positive experiences with the local people. Everyone I met was warm, welcoming, and genuinely interested in talking to me. Whenever locals realized that I could hold a conversation in Chinese, they were delighted and often eager to chat. Being surrounded by people who are willing to engage with you in Chinese is incredibly motivating and helps build confidence. One thing I would highly recommend is taking your study materials to one of Chengdu’s many teahouses after class. Immersing yourself in the city’s tea culture while reviewing what you have learned creates a unique and enjoyable learning environment—and I genuinely believe it helps. The Chengdu School My language course was very intensive. I booked two weeks of one-on-one lessons, four hours per day. In addition, I spent at least two hours each evening reviewing material and preparing for the next day’s lessons. It was demanding, but that was exactly what I was looking for. If you truly want to improve, there is no substitute for consistent study and actively using what you learn. One minor challenge was the schedule. Occasionally, I had afternoon classes that finished at 6 p.m., followed by lessons starting between 8 and 9 a.m. the next morning. On those occasions, I sometimes felt a bit rushed when preparing for the following day. However, this was only a small issue and did not significantly affect my overall experience. During my stay, I had three different teachers, each with their own teaching style, which I found refreshing. Most of my lessons were with LTL-Teacher Michael, who did an excellent job (foto below). He has a deep understanding of Chinese grammar, language learning, and Chinese culture. We had many interesting discussions, and his enthusiasm made the four hours of daily lessons pass surprisingly quickly. Conclusion If you are looking for a welcoming and immersive environment to improve your Chinese, I can highly recommend LTL Chengdu. The combination of dedicated teachers, a supportive homestay experience, and the friendly atmosphere of Chengdu creates an excellent setting for language learning.
