Study Abroad Programs in China

I participated in a two week program at LTL Chengdu, and I had an amazing time while learning a lot! My instructor Wei was super friendly and dedicated, and I could not have imagined a better teacher. She tailored her instruction specifically to my goals and used real world situations to teach so I could have a more immersive and rich experience. Not only did my Chinese language skills improve, but I also learned a lot about the local culture, food, and lifestyle — things I could never get a chance to experience in a traditional classroom. I highly recommend LTL Chengdu and my teacher Wei!

I had a really great experience at this Chinese learning school! The teachers, especially Ann and Jamie, were amazing and genuinely helped me improve my Chinese. They were patient, encouraging and always willing to explain things when I didn’t understand. Their teaching made learning Chinese much more enjoyable, and I became a lot more confident in my speaking and understanding. You can tell that they really care about their students and want everyone to do well. I’m really grateful for all their help and would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking to improve their Chinese!

Their professional online presence had long since caught my attention. My overall experience is outstanding! I made rapid progress with my Chinese language skills through the interactive teaching. Furthermore I earned great insights into Chinese culture through the optional afternoon activities.

Hi adrian! We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you continue enjoying your Chinese learning journey! 😊

Flexible organization accommodating my needs with a mix of online classes before joining the school and then the very flexible schedule while on site. Very qualified teachers, very experienced in teaching foreigners. We used to mix of material, including articles and textbooks that were specifically designed for my level of Chinese and what I wanted to focus on. I deeply recommend this school to everyone.

Hi Jochen, we truly appreciate your feedback and are glad you had a positive experience with us! Please keep up your great work. 😊

I chose AIFS Abroad because of the variety of programs that they offer. I went to Paris, France for a January term to take an Accounting class at the American Business College. The AIFS staff was super helpful with me. Even before departure, they were there for me helping me with my housing options and to coordinate my flights, during my program they invited us to different excursions and to the AIFS office in Paris to know the staff and after the program they were very interested in our feedback and reviews. During my program I stayed with a host family and it was such an amazing thing because i got to experience French culture first-hand while also sharing a little bit about my own culture. The American Business College is a place where students from different cultures and backgrounds share one same perspective on global business with an American point of view, which made everything easier for me. This program had a great impact in my life because it made me get out of my comfort zone and get to know so many people while earning credit towards my degree. I'd recommend AIFS Abroad to anyone looking to study abroad or intern while getting credits towards their degree. AIFS is very helpful, has so many programs available and a staff who is always willing to make the best for you.

I spent 4 weeks in Beijing and I had an amazing time. LTL staff is very professional and helpful, great people to talk to, especially if you want to practice your Chinese. Ms. Alice was my teacher and her lessons were pure pleasure. She always made sure that everyone in the classroom understood everything and had a chance to speak. She was also very encouraging and patient. The other students were also very friendly so the whole school vibe was really good. Overall, great place if you want to learn Chinese and have a good time both at once!

2 weeks just goes by too fast! Thanks for your lovely words Daria :) It was a pleasure to have you. LTL Team

My one-month HSK 2 Mandarin course at Silk Mandarin in Suzhou was an exceptional and highly efficient professional experience. The intensive curriculum seamlessly integrated advanced grammar structures with practical vocabulary. Utilizing their innovative "Slow Motion" teaching methodology, the instructors made complex linguistic concepts remarkably accessible, significantly accelerating my conversational proficiency and confidence. The faculty demonstrated a high level of expertise, and the small class size ensured tailored guidance. Additionally, Suzhou provided an ideal immersive environment to apply my skills daily within a professional context. I highly recommend Silk Mandarin for anyone seeking targeted, high-quality language training.

I studied Mandarin in LTL Chengdu for around 2 months starting with no prior knowledge of the language. But after my time here studying with Guo Xin Yue in one-on-one lessons, I have built a strong foundation in the language and can now communicate with other Chinese people and experience rapid progress in continuing to learn the language. Another aspect of LTL that I enjoyed was that there was a good balance between studying and also exploring and learning about the area, with people like Ying laoshi, Ilaria, Giulia, and others being responsible. I would recommend LTL for anyone who is interested in learning and immersing themselves in the language.

I had a great experience learning Chinese with Lily in Beijing. She is a very kind, patient, and professional teacher who always makes me feel comfortable and motivated during our lessons. Her explanations are clear and easy to understand, and she always takes the time to make sure I understand new grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. I really appreciate how she adapts the lessons to my level and encourages me to speak Chinese as much as possible. Thanks to Lily, I feel much more confident when speaking Chinese and I have noticed a real improvement in my communication skills. Her lessons are interesting, engaging, and enjoyable, and I always look forward to the next one. I would definitely recommend Lily to anyone who wants to learn Chinese in Beijing, whether they are a beginner or already have some experience. She is an excellent teacher and I am very happy to have learned Chinese with her! Also wonderful arrangement of immersive school trips, which turn textbook knowledge into vivid real-life experience. On one warm afternoon, our guide organized the school trip to a local old Beijing alley near our learning site. Instead of staying in the classroom, she guided us to walk through the quiet hutongs, communicate with elderly local residents and practice the daily phrases we had learned in class. She carefully prompted us to greet passers-by, ask for directions and talk about daily trivialities, helping us apply our Chinese skills in authentic scenarios. This outdoor study trip was far more impressive than regular classroom learning. It allowed me to feel the charm of spoken Chinese in real interactions and understand the simple, warm daily culture of local Beijingers. I felt that my on-site expressions, colloquial slangs and polite usage that never appear in textbooks, and helped me overcome my nervousness of talking to strangers. Every conversation practice felt fresh and meaningful. This special school trip gave me a precious immersive learning experience and greatly boosted my oral fluency. Thanks to their creative teaching methods, I no longer learn Chinese mechanically. I can truly use it to observe life, communicate with others and feel local culture. Her dedication to combining classroom teaching with outdoor practice makes every learning session worthwhile. I am extremely grateful for their thoughtful guidance and highly recommend her to every Chinese learner! It was a very interesting school trip in this journey to Beijing!

Chatting with elderly hutong residents and asking locals for directions in Chinese is real immersion right there! We are thrilled Lily made every lesson so worthwhile both inside and outside the classroom. Thanks so much for taking the time and keep up the great work studying Chinese! LTL Team

I really liked the teacher and the way the subject was explained. I learned a lot of new words and, at the same time, really enjoyed spending time with my friends. I visited many new places and know that this is a great opportunity. I spoke Chinese with people who didn't speak English, and despite the difficulties, we did our best and managed to understand each other in the end. The other challenge was getting used to the food, which was very different from ours, but over time we managed to adjust. I recommend this experience and think it can be truly beneficial.

Giovanni! We are glad the lessons were the right fit and we hope to see you back at LTL again soon. LTL Team

I attended the language school for one week in May, and looking back, it was much more than just a language course – it was a really great experience. Even before arriving in China, I felt very well prepared and supported by the school. They provided me with lots of useful information and helpful tips for my trip and stay, and there was always someone available via WeChat whenever I had questions. Everything was very well organized from the beginning. I chose to stay with a local host family, which turned out to be one of the highlights of my stay. My host family was incredibly welcoming, warm and helpful, and they really made me feel at home from the first day. My classes consisted of a small group session with around 5–6 students, followed by 2–3 hours of private lessons. I really enjoyed both formats and learned a lot, even though I was only there for a week. I especially liked the combination of learning together in a group and then having more intensive one-on-one lessons. The experience outside the classroom was great as well. The group activities were well organized, everyone was very friendly, and newcomers were immediately welcomed and included. It was very easy to meet people and feel part of the group. My only regret is that I stayed for just one week! 😄 I honestly would have loved to stay longer. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a great combination of learning Chinese, experiencing everyday life in China, and meeting new people. I would definitely do it again – next time, I would just stay much longer!

Longer next time, Cenk! 1 week just flies by but it was still such a pleasure to have you with us, even just for a short time. We're delighted to have left such a strong impression on you and we're excited to do it all over again. LTL Team

I just wrapped up three weeks studying Mandarin at LTL Beijing, and wanted to share my experience, especially since between the homestay and my teacher, it ended up being way better than I expected going in. I did the homestay option, which I'd recommend without hesitation. My host family was genuinely amazing — the food was great every single day, and beyond that, we'd end up having long conversations in the evenings that I really looked forward to. What made it work was that they were good about adjusting how they spoke so I could actually follow along, rather than just talking at normal speed and leaving me lost. That probably did more for my listening and confidence than anything else during the trip. Classes with my teacher, Summer, were the other big highlight. She was just really nice, and the classes were joyful and funny, and full of chances to actually speak rather than just sit and listen. Time genuinely flew by in class, and by the end I'd made amazing progress, way more than I expected in just three weeks. On top of that, everyone at the school was just really nice, which made the whole experience feel welcoming rather than intimidating. If you're weighing whether to study Mandarin in Beijing, I'd genuinely recommend LTL.

We're so happy you had a blast with us, Bennet :) It was a pleasure to host you in Beijing and we loved the progress you made. Time really does fly when we're workign together!! Come back some day. LTL Team

Today I finished my 4 week study program in Kunming and i must say it really exceeded my expectations! The city itself is very relaxed, the temperature is comfortable and the scenery here is stunning. Aside from that the LTL staff as well as Host family I have stayed with made a positive impression on me and I am really satisfied. My 1 on 1 teacher 董老师 proved herself to be very competent. I had achieved my set language level easily within the time frame. She seemed to always know what I my strengths and weaknesses are and created a personalized learning program for me. I‘d also like to thank Savannah and Alex K. for taking care of me and my wellbeing throughout my stay in Kunming!! It was really refreshing to get to know the Kunming LTL staff. I would totally recommend this program for anyone who is interested in learning chinese, good food and a wonderful city! 10/10 experience!!

I had a great experience with my teacher carol. It was very fun and I learned a lot. I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn Chinese.

I did a 3 month program with this School. All teachers and staff here were great! Since the beginning I felt welcomed and included in all activities that took place. I am grateful to my teacher qingqing. She is professional and friendly at the same time. She was enthusiastic in every class which made classes a lot of fun but also ensured that lessons matched my learning pace. Qingqing was a huge support inside and outside of the class. I am also thankful to Giulia, who was a great help as I navigated many things while being in China for the first time.Thanks a lot.
