Study Abroad Programs

My immersion program with Maximo Nivel was incredible. I did six weeks of group class for four hours a day, and over the course of those weeks I had five different amazing teachers who I am so grateful for. Then I began a volunteer program working with the kids of adolescent mothers which was one of the most fun and rewarding things I have ever done. Throughout the entire time (three months total), I lived with an amazing local family which I know feel like I am truly a member of. Overall, what an incredible experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Being in Cusco was way better than I had imagined (and I had imagined it a lot hahaha)! Maximo just had the best and most welcoming team, with great teachers and an energizing environment. I already had a good level of spanish, but now I know a lot more and I feel confident to practice everywhere I go! I can't wait to be back here :)<3

I loved being at the Aauja site. Everyone was so welcoming and I felt so appreciated and felt like they were open to the information and therapy we could offer. All the cultural experiences were awesome. The elephant sanctuary was amazing and I loved seeing a temple first hand.

I took a 1-week intensive Mandarin immersion course at LTL Language School, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! The program is flexible - Alin, Riona,Sunny, Greta and the entire team at LTL can work around most schedules. My program combined morning group classes with 1-on-1 private lessons in the afternoon, covering all four skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The teachers are knowledgeable, experienced, and genuinely amazing: Tammy and Thomas led my group classes and made Mandarin grammar, conversation, character structure, and stroke order easy to understand. Jia was fantastic at helping me refine my pronunciation and tones. Anqi gave me incredible insights into reading and understanding traditional Chinese characters. Beyond the classroom, LTL organizes great social activities like group lunches and evening games of mahjong, making it easy to practice conversational Chinese and connect with other students. I learned so much in just one week that I signed up for more classes immediately—and most of my classmates extended their stays, too! I would have stayed even longer if I could, and I will definitely be back. If you want a top-tier Mandarin immersion experience, LTL is the place to go!

Studying at LTL has been a life-changing experience for me and one of the best choices I've made for my personal growth. It's been almost a month since I arrived, and I am completely satisfied with the experience, from the educational system, the great teaching methods and charisma of Teacher Minkyung, to the socializing opportunities we have at school. The schedules are full of activities you can choose from to have fun, meet people, and learn together. The staff is highly professional and super friendly. Coming to class is really fun, and I really enjoy my routine here in Korea. I am grateful for this experience.

I had a phenomenal time at LTL Taipei. I had never been to Taiwan or done a language trip before, and initially signed up for 2 weeks. I found everyone super welcoming and accommodating, which is exactly what you want in a new country. I had morning classes with Wei wei and Jialin, who were both great. And then in the afternoon I had 1:1 classes with Jasmine, who was really phenomenal and patient with me -- letting me practice what I had learned, and discussing all aspects of Taiwan, Mandarin, and more. I actually ended up extending my classes by three days until I had to fly out 🤣. Highly recommend!

Dayana was great a great teacher! Also great to be in a class with the students of the same level and desire to progress. I had a great time and I cannot thank Maximo Nivel and thew international team enough for it!

me gusté de todos las actividades, Recelrá muchas atención todos los dias, del profesor y del personal. Aprendi español porque la profesora Martha es una excelente maestra. Es muy atenta y se preocupa por el bienestar de los estudiantes. Los profesores visten de forma adequada y con sus mejores galas. Me gustó mucho la cafeteria; tenía muchos bocadillos, tanto salados como dulces, a precios accesibles. Agradezco que haya café, leche y té disponibles. Regreso ao Brasil encantada y con todos en mi corazón. Agradezco a todos los que contribuyeron a mi felicidade en Máximo Nivel. Agradezco a Patrick, Maia, Reese, Gabby, Nico, Nora, Edson, Ni, Profesora Martha.

I really liked the theoretical classes, the dynamic classes and also the class outside, and especially the theater. I really enjoyed the week's activities, especially conversation. Thank you to Maximo Nivel

I had an amazing experience at LTL Language School! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, and the teachers are excellent. I learned so much during my stay. I also loved the weekly activities organized by the LTL staff, which made the experience even more special. The school is in a great location, too. I highly recommend LTL to anyone who wants to learn Korean and have an unforgettable experience in Seoul! 💗

Yay love to hear it!! We miss you here in Seoul, come back again in 2027! Thanks for the 5 stars and don't forget to keep speaking Korean back home :) LTL Team

I had a fantastic time working on a documentary that the entire team all really cared about. It was a hectic cycle of preparation, shooting, then readjusting plans for the next day but I loved it. So is showbiz. I feel that I have made good friends that I want to work with in the future. Thank you Actuality Abroad for providing all of us this opportunity.

My time studying in Kunming so far has been one of the greatest experiences I have ever had. Especially with my great teacher. Everyone at Ltl has made me feel very welcome and I have been able to experience many amazing things.

So glad you've had a great time in Kunming, Josephine :) We loved having you here with us and are happy your experience matched your expectations!! LTL Team

My experience was surprisingly good: this is a pro course with plenty of effort to actually train me through feedback and semi challenging tasks. It didn’t have individual feedback for assignments but I believe they have that option for a little more money. What they did have was a great attitude and lots of extra resources when I finished

I’ve been at LTL for about 6 weeks so far, and I have nothing but good things to say about it. LTL as a whole is a very welcoming environment. All of the staff are super friendly, whether it’s Alin and Riona, who you can usually find at the front desk helping students with logistical things, or Sunny, who creates and leads the social events. Speaking of social events, LTL is also a really great social environment. To foster connections between classes, LTL usually has about 2 social events per week, along with lots of social lunches, which helps build community among the students. Through this, I’ve made a lot of friends and feel very connected, even though I’m so far from my home country. As for the classes, I feel my Chinese has improved a lot since coming here, thanks in large part to my teacher, Sissi. She’s done a great job of making my 4 hours of daily classes fun and engaging, while also making sure I gain a deep understanding of the grammar structures and vocabulary we cover. All in all, I’d highly recommend LTL to anyone looking to travel abroad and study a language. Not only will LTL’s intensive courses ensure you make progress, but the friendly environment will also let you form connections and have experiences you’ll remember long after you return home.

Nothing but good things is music to our ears, Anthony :) Glad you've had 6 great weeks with us and super happy to hear you making great progress too. Keep up the great work. LTL Team

This was such a great experience, filled with memorable moments and unique opportunities for learning. Once we arrived, there were so many opportunities to explore the community and experience Thai culture beyond the classroom and clinic. One of my favorite activities was the cooking class, which was amazing. Preparing food offered a hands-on way to learn about the culture while enjoying the experience with our group. I also appreciated how our guides responded to our interests. When we expressed interest in visiting temples, they planned an opportunity for us to go into the community and explore them. Seeing the temples in person was beautiful and gave us a greater appreciation for the traditions and cultural significance of these spaces. Visiting an ethical elephant sanctuary was another unforgettable experience and truly a highlight of a lifetime. Being there was something I will always remember and felt incredibly special. Overall, this trip offered much more than I could have learned through coursework alone. The combination of cultural experiences, community exploration, and shared learning made it meaningful. I am grateful for the thought and planning that went into these opportunities and for the memories and perspectives I will carry with me moving forward.

バルセロナでスペイン語を勉強してみたくて、今回初めて短期留学しました！最初はちょっと緊張してたけど、先生たちがすごく優しくて、授業もアットホームな雰囲気だったので楽しく通えました☺️ いろんな国から来ている人たちと交流できたのもよかったです！英語もスペイン語も完璧じゃないけど、みんなフレンドリーで自然と話す機会が増えました。 あと、個人的に一番よかったのは宿泊施設！お部屋も綺麗だし、キッチンも付いていて、屋上にはプールまであります。学校と同じ建物なので移動も楽だし、授業が終わったら街を散策したりカフェに行ったり、毎日充実してました♡ 普通の語学留学とはちょっと違って、バルセロナで実際に暮らしているような感覚を楽しめたのがよかったです。また行きたいなと思える場所でした！

Osaka caught my heart and yes Osaka people are the best and MOST FUNNIEST in all of Japan! I couldn't go wrong with combining this great bustling place with Meiji. Classes were fun, activities crazy and the social gatherings...I won't tell too much but be prepared for crazy Karaoke nights and hilarious outings in Namba. And yes, the food is top notch! Nandeyanen, you'll see me soon again😁

I’ve really enjoyed my experience with Silk Mandarin so far. Learning Mandarin can feel quite overwhelming at first, especially with the tones and pronunciation, but the way the lessons are structured makes everything feel much more approachable. One of the things I appreciate most is that the teaching goes beyond simply memorising vocabulary. The teachers explain things clearly and make sure you understand how to use what you learn in practice. The teaching methods are engaging and make the lessons feel interactive, which helps keep me motivated and interested. I’ve also found the teachers to be very supportive, creating an environment where I feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from them. I think this is especially important when learning a language as different from English as Chinese. Overall, Silk Mandarin has made learning Chinese a genuinely enjoyable experience. Progress takes time, of course, but having a good learning structure and supportive teachers makes a real difference. I’d happily recommend them to anyone looking to start learning Mandarin or improve their existing skills.

Okay I’m impressed by this and happy to share my thoughts. I start with doubtful thoughts and finish with thoughts of how happy I am at the quality and elegance of the course. Now I can teach and have confidencia for my ambition.
