Yes, China is a very safe place for teenagers to study Chinese. The main risk we want your child to pay special attention to is the traffic. While not as uncontrolled as in some parts of the world, driving habits in Beijing are more chaotic than in most western countries.

Can rules be set for a teenager studying Chinese in China?

Yes parents can set rules for their child. We will ask you to fill out a parent questionnaire before the course where you can decide what is ok and what is not for your child during it’s time at our language school in Beijing.

Is a homestay a positive experience for a teenager?

Homestays are the core and heart of LTL. LTL stands for Live the Language and for us this is not just a name but what everything we stand for. We want our students to truly live and experience Mandarin and there is no better way to do this than a homestay family.

How do teenagers get to school?

On the first day the homestay family will bring you/your child to school and pick them up afterwards so they can get familiar with the way. After this the journey will be taken with classmates, or by yourself. Transport is very fluid and convenient in China.
