FAQs
Can I travel when I don’t have class?
Absolutely yes.
You can venture out whenever you want; the more you explore, the greater the experience.
Do I have to travel for a whole year?
No, the Gap Year is flexible.
If you wish to study for 18 weeks as an example, that still qualifies as a gap year with us!
You can study at LTL for anything between a week and a year.
Is accommodation provided?
Accommodation is optional and can be added during the booking process. We offer homestays with local families and private studio apartments.
While both options are comfortable, we highly recommend choosing a homestay to immerse yourself in the local culture, practice the language daily, and enjoy delicious home-cooked meals.
What is the cost of living in Asia?
The cost of living in Asia can vary significantly depending on the country and city you choose to reside in.
Generally, Asia offers a wide range of options to suit different budgets.
Cities like Tokyo, Seoul, and Singapore tend to have higher living expenses.
On the other hand, countries such as Vietnam offer a more affordable cost of living.
Here’s a useful website to compare cities’ cost of living.
Will I make new friends?
This is the easy part! Many students remain friends for life after being part of the LTL family.
There are students arriving and leaving every week, so there are always plenty of people to spend evenings together studying, socialising or discovering the city.
Is the price displayed accurate?
The price calculator gives the most accurate representation of the final price in the local currency of the country you’re booking for.
However, if you’re selecting a different currency, the final amount may vary slightly due to exchange rates at the time of checkout.
When can I start?
Start dates are available year-round on every Monday.
You can begin your program almost any week of the year, just let us know your preferred start date when applying, and we’ll take care of the rest.
I’m Really Happy
I am really enjoying my experience in China. It’s really easy to make friends, as everyone is in the same boat. We are all new to China and discover things together. I’m really happy that I came here for my Gap Year.

Wonderful Experience
Visited the Beihai school to study and it was such a wonderful experience! The school made sure I was picked up safely from the airport and taken to my stay. Teacher Summer is also amazing.
