Frequently Asked Questions
How do I travel between cities?
It will depend on your choice of program. If you stay based in mainland China the high-speed trains are incredibly convenient but of course, if you are based in Taipei or Singapore you’ll need to book flights which you can get relatively cheaply but this will depend on when you travel and if you fly direct or make a change.
Is the cost of transport covered?
This varies per program, speak to us and we will confirm depending on what you are planning to book.
For example, our Metropolitan, Immersion and Three City combo, transport on trains are covered.
Is Chengde for me? It seems intensive?
It is intensive and very different. You must be aware if you join a Chinese program in Chengde you genuinely won’t be using any of your first language.
In Chengde, it will be a 100% Mandarin spoken trip. Your contact with foreigners will be minimal, if nothing at all.
Bear this in mind when booking and ask us any questions, our team will always support you and make sure the correct program is booked for your needs.
Can any level of Chinese take part?
Yes! We welcome all levels of Chinese. Even if you speak well, we want to help get you even better.
Please be aware if you have a level above intermediate classes will all be individual, we do not have advanced group classes because the numbers are far smaller and we can never guarantee a number of students.
Is Singapore a good place to learn Chinese?
Yes, which is why we set up a school there!
Mandarin is one of four official languages spoken there and whereas China will, of course, provide the most immersive environment, you can still achieve that in Singapore. There are plenty of chances to use Chinese day-to-day.
This is all about experiencing “real China”. No english, no foreign brands, just 24/7 Chinese.
It’s the program we pride our name on, Live the Language.
The Immersion Program is split into two stages, your first city, which can be any of:
Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, Beihai, Chengdu, Xi’an or Singapore. After that, stage two is the immersive leg in Chengde.
All classes in Chengde are individual and we have no school there, purposely, so students do not have the temptation to meet and speak another language.
You can choose from 3 types of program:
Standard – 20 hours per week group class in your choice of city, 20 hours per week individual class in Chengde.
Intensive – 20 hours per week group class and 10 hours per week 1-on-1 class in your choice of city, 30 hours per week individual class in Chengde.
Individual – 20 hours per week 1-on-1 class in your choice of city and Chengde.
Learn Chinese in China’s two biggest cities, Beijing and Shanghai. Familiar names but actually incredibly different cities.
Beijing will hit you in the face with culture and history. Get lost in the hutongs and visit some of China’s most famous and beloved spots such as the Great Wall, The Summer Palace and The Forbidden City.
Shanghai, on the other hand, is the New York of the East. Bustling with people from all four corners of the world, there are all kinds of people everywhere.
If you are worried about getting a bit of culture shock here, Shanghai is a great starting point.
You can choose from 3 types of program:
Standard – 20 hours per week group class.
Intensive – 20 hours per week group class and 10 hours per week 1-on-1 class.
Individual – 20 hours per week 1-on-1 class.
Study Mandarin in these two cities at our two perfectly located schools and become part of our tight-knit and friendly community.
Learn Chinese in northern China and travel to some of China’s most historic locations as you improve your Mandarin proficiency.
Beijing, being the capital of China is full to the brim with culture and history. Xi’an can also boast the same but on a smaller scale. Between these two cities, you can tick off some of China’s most in demand tourist hotspots as well.
The Great Wall of China and The Terracotta Warriors, alongside The Summer Palace, Forbidden City and Huashan.
After this, head over to Chengde to enjoy immersion like you never thought possible. No foreigners, no English, just 24/7 Mandarin, this is where your Chinese will sky-rocket.
You can choose from 3 types of program:
Standard – 20 hours per week group class.
Intensive – 20 hours per week group class and 10 hours per week 1-on-1 class.
Study Chinese in the south of China and experience three very different cities as you embark on the adventure of a lifetime.
Beihai – the beach city they don’t know about
Shanghai, one of the worlds biggest cities, will show you exactly why it’s labelled the “New York of the East”.
The city has a huge international vibe, yet still boasts some of China’s most famed cultural attractions and is ideally linked to other beautiful nearby cities.
Head on over to Taiwan island for part two of your journey to glorious Taipei. A slower pace of life, but a city we know you’ll fall in love with.
Street markets galore, you will sample some of Asia’s finest food as you move to the land of Traditional Chinese.
After this, you’ll be heading into the unknown gem of China, Beihai. A city most Chinese have never even heard of, enjoy great weather, lush beaches and Chinese like you’ve never experienced before.
You can choose from 3 types of program:
Standard – 20 hours per week group class.
Intensive – 20 hours per week group class and 10 hours per week 1-on-1 class.
Beihai and Taipei, two of the top beach hotspots, all whilst you become fluent in Mandarin with LTL. Beihai is a wonderful “under-the-radar” option.
Whereas many locals head to Hainan Island for their beach holidays, we decided to find somewhere much less touristy, but equally pretty, Beihai fits that bill.
A charming city to learn Mandarin and enjoy a relaxed pace of life.
After this, head towards Taiwan where you’ll be based in Taipei, not far from some delightful coastlines.
Enjoy the buzzing city life of Taipei, but also the numerous coastal locations and get a bit of everything as you learn Mandarin with us.
You can choose from 3 types of program:
Standard – 20 hours per week group class.
Intensive – 20 hours per week group class and 10 hours per week 1-on-1 class.
Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu, three famous Chinese cities not just for their sights, but for their food.
Beijing, home of the famous Peking Duck. Mouthwatering menus and a whole host of restaurants greet you on every corner of China’s capital.
Shanghai, home of some of China’s most loved dumplings.
With a small pocket of incredibly soupy broth or a pan fried exterior, you can choose pretty much whatever you want, whether it be fried, boiled, veggie, or even chocolatey!
Chengdu provides a new challenge for spice lovers. Spicy Sichuan Hotpot, something you have to taste to believe.
We will say it again, if you like Chinese food, you cannot miss this.
You can choose from 3 types of program:
Standard – 20 hours per week group class.
Intensive – 20 hours per week group class and 10 hours per week 1-on-1 class.
