Study Abroad Programs in Xi'an, China

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!!

Was so fun to have you learn Chinese in Kunming with us, Colin :) It was great to see your progression in your time with us. 10/10 for us too!! Let's do it again some time. LTL Team

Ive been learning with Lily from LTL for the past 3 weeks and my Chinese has come on so far since the first lesson. Aside from language lessons, Lily also organised trips outside to sightsee which have been fun and informative and improved both my language skills and knowledge of Chinese history. I’m really glad I chose to do this course, I don’t think many other courses could’ve improved my Mandarin this fast.

So glad to read your review and kind words, Jessica :) We're delighted you've had a great time with us and we hope you keep improving! LTL Team

I spent three weeks in Chengdu and had such a good experience. Starting with the pre-arrival call with Ying 老师， everyone was super friendly and helped whenever they could: my suitcase was lost by the airplane and Ying as well as my teacher Panpan helped getting it back. Also, the team helped me book tennis lessons and had a lot of tips for exploring Sichuan (thank you @Ying @Panpan @Guilia @Ilaria). Regarding the lessons: I had group lessons with Panpan, the class was very small (3 to 5 students) and Panpan is an amazing teacher (and great dancer and cat mom:)) and so much fun! Not only did I learn a lot, we also had such a good time in- and outside of class. Shoutout to Alex and Stiles as well :)

Tennis lessons, a lost suitcase rescue and Panpan's dancing, quite the three weeks! We are thrilled Ying, Panpan, Giulia, Ilaria, Alex and Stiles all played their part. Thanks so much for taking the time and keep up the great work studying Chinese! LTL Team

I went to Beijing with my classmates from school — all of us Italian, so we were in the same boat. I want to write about my experience because I read other reviews before going and they helped me a lot. So maybe this can help someone else too. I won't lie, the start was hard. The flight was long and the time change really hit me. For the first day or two I was just tired and confused, and I did not feel like doing anything. But after that, things got much better and I started to enjoy everything. I think this is normal when you travel so far. The classes were in the morning. I have to say, I did not expect to like them so much. Our teacher was really funny and she never made us feel stupid for making mistakes. She would explain words by acting them out, so sometimes she was running around the classroom or making faces, and we were all laughing. We played games too, like one where you describe a word and others guess it. My friend tried to describe "panda" by pointing at herself and looking sad. Everyone was laughing so hard that the teacher had to wait for us to stop. Because the mood was so relaxed, I was not afraid to speak, even when my Chinese was wrong. That is a big thing for me, because at school at home I usually stay quiet and never put my hand up. Here I actually wanted to answer. I still mix up the tones and I know I say many things in a strange way, but it did not matter. Nobody was judging. That feeling is hard to explain, but it made me want to learn more. The afternoons were for activities. We went to markets and saw a tea ceremony, which was more interesting than I expected. We also tried calligraphy, and I learned that I hold a brush very badly. The teacher i sthere was patient with me, which I appreciated. We walked a lot, so my legs were always tired, but in a good way. I liked that every day was different and we were never bored. About the food: it was different, but good. Some dishes I loved and some I didn't finish. That's normal, I think. I'm Italian, so I have strong opinions about food, and even I found things I liked. Things I did not love: the metro at rush hour is really crowded, and sometimes it was too loud and too much for me. By the end, being with the same group all the time was a bit much, and I needed some time alone. But I think that happens to everyone on a trip like this. What I will remember most is the small moments. One night a few of us sat outside and talked until late. One morning I walked alone before class and just watched the city wake up. Those are the things I will keep. So, my opinion: I'm happy I went. It was not a perfect holiday, but it was a real experience, and I think that is better. If you are thinking about it, I would say yes. Go.

LTL Language School responded to this reviewSeptember 23, 2026

We are so glad the relaxed atmosphere helped you find your voice and want to answer, even when the tones were not quite right. Thanks so much for sharing your story and we hope Beijing stays with you for a long time. Also great picture!! LTL Team

Two weeks. Fourteen days in a city I never see before, with people I never meet before, in a language I don't really understand. And now I think... wow. This was one of the best things in my life. I am 16, from Italy, and this is my little story about Beijing with LTL. Before I go, I was a little nervous. Two weeks is long time, and China is so far from everything I know. My friends say, "Why China? Why not the beach?" But I want something special, something vera — real! And now I can say: brava, me! It was the right choice. The first thing that surprise me about Beijing is... it is HUGE! Mamma mia, really really big! The roads are so wide, the buildings go up and up, and there are people everywhere. It's loud, it's busy, full of energy. Sometimes it was too much and I need a quiet moment still love it But most of the time I love it. I love to walk around and just watch the life. And Beijing is beautiful too. Not like Italy — we have old churches, small streets, the sea, il sole. Beijing is beautiful in a different way. It mixes everything: old temples next to glass towers, tiny shops next to big malls, bicycles next to cars. I really like this. Bellissimo. The LTL school is in the centre of Beijing, very close to the subway. I love this because after class we can go everywhere so easy. And the school organise so many activities for us! In the afternoon we do things together — we go walking in the hutong. we visit the Temple of Heaven , we see the 798 Art District. Amazing Great Wall! One time we even do tai chi and caligrapgy, very traditional. Every day is different, sempre qualcosa di nuovo. And the food! The school give us different food every day for lunch, and I really appreciate this because in Italy we are very very serious about food, so I was a little worried. But it was fun to try new things every day. Some dishes I love, some I don't understand at all, but I always try. This is part of travel, no? Of course, I miss Italy. I miss my mamma's cooking, my bed, my friends, and just speaking Italian without thinking. There are days when I feel a little sad. Ma passa presto — it passes quickly, because there is always something new or someone new to talk to. What I remember most are the people. I meet students from many countries, and we become like a little family. We laugh, we get lost together, we help each other. I also learn that I am stronger than I think. I can be far from home. Che bello! Two weeks go by so fast. I come back to Italy with a full heart, a lot of photos, and a lot of new words. If you think about this program — go! Non pensare troppo. Just go. You will come back different.

LTL Language School responded to this reviewSeptember 23, 2026

Coming back to Italy with a full heart, new words and the confidence to know you are stronger than you think - at 16, that is pretty special. Thanks so much for sharing your story and we hope Beijing pulls you back one day. Non pensare troppo! LTL Team

Thank you so much for this amazing week! Your class was my favorite part of every day. You are so kind and patient, and you always help us when we don't understand. You never get angry when we make mistakes, and you make us feel safe to try. I respect you very much. I learned a lot from you, and I will never forget this week. Thank you, teacher!

It was great to have you study with us, Ana :) Hope you come back again some day. Best wishes, LTL Team

I go to Beijing with my school group for one week. It was very cool! Every morning we have Chinese class. Every afternoon we go out and do fun things. We see many cool places in the city. We try Chinese snacks. We also play games with local kids. It was so fun! When we walk on the street, Chinese people are very friendly to us. One old man even speak Russian to us! I was so surprised and happy. He smile and talk with us a little. This make me feel China is very warm place. Before trip I already know a little bit Chinese. So sometimes I can help our teacher in class. Like I repeat things for other students or explain easy words. This make me feel very happy. Our teacher is very very nice and patient. She always help us and never angry when we make mistakes. I respect her very much. On last day she say she is proud of us. She give us small cards with our Chinese names. I keep mine forever. I learn a lot, make cool friends, and try new things. I already ask my parents if I can go again next summer!

Hi everyone! I'm a student from Russia, and I just got back home after spending one amazing week in Beijing with a group from my school. I honestly didn't know what to expect before we left — I'd never been to China, and I was a little nervous about the language, the food, and everything else. But this trip turned out to be one of the best experiences of my life, and I want to tell you why. Every morning we had Chinese lessons, and every afternoon we went out to explore the city. I thought the classes would be boring or too difficult, but they were actually so much fun! Our teacher was incredibly kind and patient. She made us laugh all the time, and she explained things in a way that just made sense. Even though Chinese is really different from Russian, I felt like I was actually learning and improving every single day. The atmosphere in the classroom was so warm and friendly — we weren't just students, we felt like a little family. Nobody was afraid to make mistakes because our teacher always encouraged us and told us that mistakes are part of learning. I looked forward to every lesson, which is something I never thought I'd say about school! In the afternoons, we visited so many incredible places, but the highlight for me was definitely the Great Wall. I've seen it in pictures a million times, but standing on it in real life was unbelievable. It was so steep and so long, and I kept thinking about all the people who built it so many centuries ago. The view from the top was breathtaking — I actually got a little emotional. I took about a hundred photos, and my phone is now completely full of them! What I loved most, though, was how our teacher cared about us. On our last day, when we had to say goodbye, she started crying, and then a lot of us started crying too! She told us she was so proud of how much we'd learned in just one week, and she gave each of us a little card with our Chinese name on it. I will keep mine forever. I never imagined I'd get so attached to a teacher in just seven days, but that's how special this trip was. xie xie nin ! This week taught me so much more than just Chinese words. It taught me that people from different countries can become real friends, that stepping out of your comfort zone is worth it, and that Beijing is a magical city. I'm already begging my parents to let me come back next summer. If you're thinking about joining a trip like this — just do it. You won't regret it. 谢谢, Beijing! I'll never forget you. QuQ

Best week of your life?! That's quite a statement, but we're so glad it's true!! We loved having you study with us and we'd love to see you back again some time. Wishing you well back in Russia, and see you again!! LTL Team

I left my job to travel China for a couple months. I chose LTL to learn more and feel confident in having conversations in my travels. I had a minimal amount of Chinese knowledge coming in, but after one month of classes, I reached the intermediate B1 level! Wang summer was my teacher and she was amazing. She made sure that we learned a lot while also keeping class interesting. I will never forget my experience at the school and highly recommended for anyone interested in learning Chinese.

In queste due settimane ho frequentato la scuola LTL Chengdu e mi sono trovata veramente bene. Come professoressa ho avuto Guo Xinyue ed è sempre super gentile, disponibile e sopratutto molto paziente dato che quando non capivamo qualcosa ce lo spiegava con più calma senza problemi. Questa esperienza mi ha permesso di ampliare moltissimo il mio lessico sia in cinese che in inglese. In generale so che di tutto ciò mi rimarrà un bellissimo ricordo grazie all’accoglienza e il calore che ci sono stati dati da tutti i membri di questa scuola.

Che bello sapere che queste due settimane ti hanno lasciato un ricordo cosi speciale! Guo Xinyue sara felicissima di leggere le tue parole. Grazie mille e continua cosi con il cinese! LTL Team

Sono stata una studentessa per due settimane nella scuola LTL di Chengdu, seguendo le lezioni della Guo XinYue老师. Mi sono sentita a casa nonostante i kilimetri di distanza dall’Italia. Tra lo staff, i professori (Wu e Alex老师) e gli studenti si è creato un ambiente molto amichevole e speciale. Jeff è stato una guida grandiosa, sempre disponibile e ha fatto in tutti i modi di farci provare tutti i vari lati e gusti della Cina. Ho imparato moltissimo lessico e migliorato il mio cinese anche conversando in inglese quando sorgevano delle incomprensioni. Sceglierei di rifare questa esperienza mille volte!

Ho trascorso un periodo davvero splendido alla scuola LTL di Chengdu. È stata un’esperienza estremamente utile e formativa, che mi ha permesso di fare grandi progressi con il cinese e di imparare tantissimo in poco tempo. Un ringraziamento speciale va alla mia professoressa, Guo Xinyue:con la sua pazienza, la sua preparazione e il suo metodo di insegnamento coinvolgente ha reso ogni lezione interessante e piacevole. Consiglio assolutamente questa scuola e questa insegnante a chiunque voglia imparare il cinese vivendo un’esperienza autentica a Chengdu.

I spent 4 weeks in August 2026 at LTL Chengde, and it was the perfect deep dive for my beginner Mandarin. Full immersion means exactly that — I used Mandarin everywhere, from daily classes to meals, markets, and conversations on the street. Zhongwen, the course coordinator, was outstanding — incredibly responsive, organised everything smoothly, arranged a wonderful homestay, and planned cultural visits that made practicing feel natural, not forced. She genuinely cares about your progress and comfort. Four hours of focused 1:1 lessons each day built confidence fast — my teacher spoke only Mandarin, patient but encouraging. Homestay life let me share meals, stories, and daily moments entirely in Chinese. Chengde itself is beautiful, peaceful, friendly, and wonderfully affordable — locals love chatting with you! I came here to start using my Mandarin — and I did. From limited experience to confidently chatting with locals and my host family. Four weeks was transformative. Highly recommend LTL Chengde to anyone serious about learning. Would absolutely return.

I’m so grateful to have had Pan Pan as my teacher. She is kind, patient, supportive, and always made lessons enjoyable and comfortable. She explains things clearly and was always willing to help whenever I’m struggling. Her encouragement and positive attitude helped me feel more confident in my mandarin - she really made my chengdu experience amazing 🐼🫶 I’d also like to mention Alex and Stiles, who have both been so friendly and supportive throughout. Everyone has made the experience feel really welcoming and positive!!

The best part of my experience at LTL was the teachers. I feel incredibly lucky to have been taught by 盼盼老师, 陈鑫老师, and Joan老师 during my eight weeks in Chengdu. When I first arrived, 盼盼老师, 陈鑫老师, and Ying老师 were incredibly warm and welcoming. It was my first experience living abroad, and I was quite anxious about moving to a new country and adapting to a completely different environment. Their kindness, patience, and generosity made such a difference. They helped me feel comfortable from the very beginning and played a huge role in helping Chengdu start to feel like home. Throughout my eight weeks, I saw a significant improvement in my Chinese, and I have my teachers to thank for that. Their classes were not only effective, but also engaging and tailored to my level and interests. They created an environment where I felt comfortable making mistakes, asking questions, and pushing myself to speak more Chinese. I particularly appreciated how they went beyond simply teaching vocabulary and grammar and helped me understand how Chinese is actually used in everyday life. 盼盼老师 and 陈鑫老师 were both incredibly supportive throughout my time at LTL. Their encouragement gave me much more confidence in my Chinese, and I genuinely looked forward to our classes each day. I am especially grateful for how much care they put into helping me improve, both inside and outside the classroom. Joan老师 only taught me for a shorter period of time, but she was equally kind, generous, and encouraging. She made a wonderful impression on me in the time we had together, and I am very grateful that I had the opportunity to learn from her. I would also love to give a special shoutout to Stiles, who joined some of my Safari classes! She made a real impact on my experience in Chengdu and brought so much energy and enthusiasm to our activities. Overall, I could not have asked for a better group of teachers during my eight weeks in Chengdu. I left Chengdu with much stronger Chinese skills, much more confidence, and so many wonderful memories. I am incredibly grateful to all of them for making my time at LTL so special.

I completed a four-week intensive one-to-one Chinese course at LTL Chengdu, with 100 hours of classes in total, and I am extremely happy with both the progress I made and the overall experience. I am 33 years old and started the programme with approximately an A2 level of Chinese. I would particularly like to highlight my teacher Guo Xin Yue. She was outstanding: very professional, friendly and highly adaptable to my needs and learning style. I genuinely enjoyed studying with her and was extremely satisfied with the quality of her lessons. One of my specific requests was that I did not want to focus on learning how to write Chinese characters by hand, and this was respected perfectly. The lessons were adapted accordingly, which allowed me to focus on the areas that were most useful for my goals. I also had Juan Tang for fewer hours, but I was very happy with her classes as well. Ying, the Director of Studies, was excellent throughout my stay. She was always kind, attentive and very efficient in handling my requests and the logistics of the programme. I had booked several additional options, and everything was arranged and adapted very smoothly. At one point, I felt that one of my teachers was not the right fit for me, and the change was handled quickly and without any complications. The Safari sessions are worth understanding correctly: they are not primarily designed as opportunities to practise Chinese with random locals, but rather as a way to explore Chengdu with someone from the school. I had an excellent experience with Wei, who was perfect for this format. We explored the city together and had very enjoyable and interesting conversations. The school provided three different textbooks, and the course was flexible enough to focus more deeply on the one I found most useful. This flexibility was something I particularly appreciated. There was also a good variety of social activities, very well organised by Giulia and Ilaria. They both do an excellent job of creating a welcoming atmosphere and bringing students together. The school itself is relatively small, but well organised and comfortable, and students also have access to a personal locker. One point worth mentioning is that having a good level of English is important if you want communication with the teachers to be as smooth and precise as possible, especially when discussing grammar, learning preferences or specific questions. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience at LTL Chengdu. I made significant progress in my Chinese, felt that the programme was genuinely adapted to my needs, and had a very enjoyable four weeks both academically and personally. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an intensive and personalised Chinese-learning experience.

Thanks a lot for your kind words! So pleased Chengdu proved to be a great base for you to improve your Mandarin skills 🙂 Keep it up and thanks again! LTL Team

I'm doing HSK3 as a hobby in my spare time, and chose to travel with LTL to Xi'an for one month during July. LTL Xi'an is an immersion location, meaning they have no localized school – which is perfect for someone like me who prefer learning through one-on-one classes and outside of a classroom! My teacher Yan was extremely experienced with language teaching, very patient and had a great sense of humour throughout my classes. She was great at varying the method of teaching, and quickly adjusted to the level and learning needs I had. I distinctly remember one day I was super tired and told her I had to leave class early and go home, she instead suggested we leave the books for a bit and learn Chinese through watching some Chinese drama – it was the perfect solution to a low-energy day! I also lived with a homestay family, where I really got to know my hostmother. She was super kind and so incredibly helpful, no matter how busy she was she always reached out to me and was there if I needed any kind of help. We bonded over breakfast, over homecooked dinners and meals at restaurants, walking in the neighbourhood, going to the mall, or just sitting and chatting at home. I was mainly practicing speaking, and will forever be thankful for her patience when listening to my broken Chinese haha. If you have a month to spare, some cash laying around, and are keen on learning Chinese while adventuring in a new city – this is the place for you!

So so glad the homestay experience delivered just as much as the classes, Elise. Thanks so much for taking the time and keep up the great work studying Chinese! LTL Team

In May 2026 I went to China for the first time and studied at LTL Language School for 2 weeks. The first week in Shanghai and the second week in Beijing. I joined their Master Class for people 50+ which included both lessons and sightseeing. Also included in the price was a subway card + telephone card + school material like books, pen, snacks + entrances to tourist spots. Housing I chose to stay at a hotel in Beijings most central area and that suited me well. Since I had so much activities I didn’t want to stay in a family homestay since I wouldn’t have had time to spend so much time there. Transportation The subways worked impressively well. If needed it was also possible to just swipe your credit card and pay for the trip. Teachers & the school The teachers were all really friendly and pedagogical. I met many of the teachers because they also guided me around Beijing in the afternoons. I learned so much and finally I could speak Chinese in a more relaxed way. Even if we spoke a lot of Chinese all the teachers were good at English so I could easily switch to English if I didn’t know how to say something in Chinese. The teachers were also very flexible to students different needs although I studied in a group with 1‑4 other students. The level was A2 in my classes. We had classes between 8.00‑12.00. In the breaks we talked or played Mahjong with other students over tea or coffee. Thank you teacher Alice in Beijing. Activities In the Master Class program we had activities on Monday‑Friday afternoon around 13.00‑17.00 + the whole day on Saturdays. The weeks I was there I was the only student so it felt like I was having private guided tours. It was awesome. The teachers guiding me made up plans but since I was the only one in the Master Class those weeks I could adjust them if I needed. See below what I did in Beijing. Beijing The activities the week I was there was The forbidden City, Jingshan Park, Schichahai & Nanluoguxiang, The temple of Heaven and 798 Art Zone. Unfortunately The temple of heaven was closed due to Donald Trumps visit so instead we went shopping and I made some great bargains. 798 Art Zone I didn’t go to since it was my first time in Beijing and I skipped school also that day and went to see The Great Wall by myself. The Saturday I spend the whole day in the Summer Palace with another teacher. All the activities and teachers guiding me were so nice and helpful. I had a fun time in all activities. Beijing is a city with a lot of fascinating historic sights. The weather was hot and humid already in May. Thank you so much Tara and Summer Wang. For learners like me, travelling and learning a new language can feel a little overwhelming at times. But LTL’s Master Class took away most of my worries. I never felt rushed during tours or pressured in class. Every day I got to practise newly‑learned Chinese phrases right out on the streets, in markets and parks, which helped me memorise words far better than textbook work alone. I really valued the gentle pace, thoughtful support and genuine care from every member of staff. This one‑week stay in Beijing gave me wonderful memories and greater confidence to keep learning Chinese back home in Sweden. Conclusion This was one of the best things I have ever done and I recommend others to go and study this Master Program in Beijing. Thank you all Carina Johansson

Shanghai and Beijing in two weeks, private guided tours of the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace, and Mahjong in the breaks over tea, Carina. You really lived the full LTL experience! Alice, Tara and Summer Wang are going to love reading this. Thanks so much for taking the time and keep up the great work studying Chinese back home in Sweden! LTL Team

My experience at LTL over the past month has been really positive, 100% due to the friendly, competent teachers and people I’ve met. I feel my Chinese level is ever improving and I’m getting a very authentic experience. For the last five weeks I’ve been doing one-on-one classes with my Teacher Laura. Laura is an incredibly competent teacher and with her help I can fully utilise the productiveness of my 2 hour session. In classes we focus almost exclusively on listening and speaking fluency, where Laura is constantly testing my limits and pushing me to improve. We have chosen to take an off the books approach that I feel really helps suit the content I’m learning directly to my level and my improving on my weaknesses. The classes include a healthy mix of everyday Chinese conversations, which improve my confidence in interactions outside of class, as well as stretching my capability in more complex discussions (I’m currently around a HSK 4). My teacher Laura, as well as many other LTL teachers, are always happy to provide assistance outside of class. Laura helped me find and book an appointment with an acupuncture clinic, and is never shy to share good food recommendations. The school provides a useful structure for each day and has been a helpful base for adjusting to daily life in China, particularly in the first week. Despite some minor miscommunication errors before my arrival in Chengdu, I have found studying in Chengdu to be very pleasant, mostly due to the amazing people I have met, whether students, teacher or homestay hosts.
