HOMESTAY IN CHENGDU
What is the single best way to learn Chinese?
With over 15 years experience behind us, we believe we are well placed to answer that question.
Living with a Chinese family and speaking Chinese 24/7 is the way.
We’ve seen it hundreds of times after all!
So why not immerse yourself into Chinese culture by living with a Chinese family in Chengdu?
Give your Chinese an extra boost by living in a Chinese speaking environment outside the classroom and embarking on a unique experience as you become a part of the family.
It’s all good and well taking 2, 4 or 6 hours of classes a day but the experience of utilising everything you have learnt with a native speaking family is genuinely the experience of a lifetime.

HOMESTAY PROGRAMS IN CHENGDU
The Homestay program is one of the jewels in our crown. This is proven by the popularity it boasts with our students. It’s a winning solution.
Throughout our school locations, around 80% of students decide to live with a Chinese family in China. Why? Because it genuinely works.
Speaking Chinese 24/7 is the key, and this provides a solution in a nutshell. Learn about culture, watch TV in Chinese, cook food, the China way… it all adds up to a truly immersive experience like no other you can find.
Our families are all carefully selected and we make sure to match you with the best possible family FOR YOU.
WHY CHOOSE A CHENGDU HOMESTAY
Our product is all about creating an immersive atmosphere.
There isn’t much more immersive than a homestay in China, especially when they will speak little to zero English (you can choose their level of English also).
The Chengdu homestay program is what sets us apart from the rest. One solitary student, one full Chinese family and Chinese immersion 24/7.
You’ll learn lots in during your Chinese lessons in Chengdu, but after class, it’s not supposed to stop there. The homestay allows you to keep speaking, keep interacting and keep living Chinese long after you exit the classroom.
Go back home, and put in to practice what you learned during your day at LTL Chengdu.
You get the best of both world’s. First class tutoring in our Chengdu school, and then genuine immersion when the day is done.
There’s no excuses to not use Chinese and guess what, it works… hence the 80% of students who opt for the Chengdu homestay.
If you have any questions, which we are sure you will have, then just drop us a message. We are happy to help.

What will I know about my family before coming to China?
We will send you a document with the family members details before you arrive.
Alongside their address and other details, we’ll give you an introduction to them so you are familiar before arriving.
This should prove useful for you.
If I want, can I stay with my friend at the same homestay?
We can arrange this if you so wish.
Speak to us and we will work with you accordingly although homestays maximise their potential when it’s one student per household.
What about the language barrier for important matters?
This is part and parcel of the homestay. Embrace it rather than fear it.
You will find a solution, whether it be via a dictionary app, or persistence. Plug away, you will find a compromise.
That said if it is of major importance you can contact us at LTL, your student advisor or a friend and we can assist.
This is why a homestay is so great, you find solutions you never thought were possible. If you’re a complete beginner and you’d like to get some survival Chinese under your belt before you come to China take a look at our Flexi Classes.
Can I book a homestay without a language course?
Afraid not.
Homestay’s are priority for full time Chinese language learners with us.
