The internet allows us to learn significantly faster and conveniently than before and you should definitely make sure you use these opportunities.
Learning languages online has become a very popular world-wide method for getting your skills ahead without travelling to the country itself.
We have taught more than ten languages online to students from a hundred countries.
The convenience of being able to study languages without having to travel abroad or even take a course in your own country and the ability to have access to the world’s best native teachers wherever you live are amazing.
First things first, following our YouTube channel here for Mandarin content specifically, and our Flexi Classes channel for content on a wider range of languages. We cover a plethora of topics from ordering food, travelling, to shopping, song lyrics, podcasts and much much more.
Here’s three useful videos for starters… if you like it, why not subscribe?
So how can you learn languages online in the most efficient way possible?
We have been doing this for a long time, so here is some advice from us how you can maximize your studying results.
BEFORE YOUR LESSONS START
DURING YOUR LESSONS
AFTER YOUR ONLINE CLASS
Students who study languages online often do not have a very immersive language environment around them and opportunities to practice what you learned might be much fewer than when living in Beijing or Tokyo for example.
However for progressing fast with your target languages, repeating and utilising what you learned is essential.
There might be restaurants or communities around you that you can tap into – try to find Facebook groups to meet people in your local area.
If there are not, then you can create that environment. Put Post-It notes on furniture in your home with their names in your target language.
Try changing your mobile phone language.
Put a list of current vocabulary where you often will look at it, for example in front of your toilet.
Most importantly make sure you review and revise often. When you don’t get to speak multiple languages in daily life you have to revise vocabulary more often to make sure it sticks.
Finally once you have the time, plan a trip abroad to study at one of our schools there, live with a homestay family and be fully immersed into your new environment by only speaking the language.
There are endless options online and many of them are very good, though there are also some bad apples.
Have a look at our blog for recent reviews of language online learning software. Here the essentials you should definitely look at:
At LTL we take huge pride in the content we provide and hopefully this list below shows jsut that!
We’ve written over 500 fantastic posts and provided countless sets of flashcards and resources you can use online, for free. Some of the best ones of which we’ll list below for the languages we teach on Flexi Classes:
I would recommend LTL. Being able to practice what I learn is a daily source of enjoyment and I look forward to going further with the course, and get my language up to a more advanced level. I would recommend LTL.
We started studying the textbook, we are using Skype, and Celine is really good at intuitively understanding my needs and level. I really enjoy studying with her! Her personality is warm. I can tell that she cares.
Our online Zoom lessons allowed for plenty of speaking practice and my teacher used the online whiteboard to give lots of support in both characters and pinyin. I highly recommend these online lessons.
Overall, my experience was good and I would recommend. I like how their lessons are structured and I can say that my experience with them contributed a lot to my improvement, especially in hanzi reading.
Doing the online class was a fantastic experience! My teacher Ruth was kind, patient and encouraging. She helped me so much! I would highly recommend LTL Mandarin School for anyone who is learning Mandarin.
After five months of studying online at LTL with Ruth, I now feel that I have a decent grasp of basic conversational Chinese.
Being able to practice what I learn is a daily source of enjoyment and I look forward to going further with the course, and get my language up to a more advanced level. I would recommend LTL and Ruth to anyone starting out on their Chinese language journey.

We started studying the textbook, we are using Skype, and Celine is really good at intuitively understanding my needs and level.
I’m enjoying taking my time to really understand concepts and ask questions about similar words.
She’s also helping me practice during class by asking me questions and coming up with sentences of my own.
I really enjoy studying with her! Also, her English is good so it helps when I’m looking to clarify something. I can tell that she cares.
Her personality is warm so it helps because we are taking classes online together.
I enjoys that she gives me homework after each lesson. I enjoy writing in Chinese and I’ve been writing dialogue and essays this week.
I ordered the workbook so I think this is going to help to make sure I am accountable to the content of the class.
I’m the type of student that enjoys having homework and a lot of practice so I don\’t mind having more than one homework.
My LTL Teacher did a great job of tailoring the lessons to my needs as a European languages teacher learning Mandarin to potentially teach UK pupils in the future.
Our online Zoom lessons allowed for plenty of speaking practice and my teacher used the online whiteboard to give lots of support in both characters and pinyin.
The sessions had mainly a speaking focus and this is exactly what I was looking for.
I highly recommend these online lessons.
It has been about a week and half since my last group class so this post is overdue but I would like to share my experience taking classes with LTL.
When I was 1 month in to my Chinese learning journey, I decided to enrol in LTL’s group classes for 12 weeks.
I was unsure of my level so after an assessment through phone conversation, I was placed in the ongoing HSK 1 class.
Overall, my experience was good and I would recommend their online classes to anyone who likes learning in a group setting.
I like how their lessons are structured and I can say that my experience with them contributed a lot to my improvement, especially in hanzi reading.

Doing the online class was a fantastic experience! My teacher Ruth was kind, patient and encouraging. She helped me so much!
Having a 1 hour class every day meant that I could really build on what I’d learned the day before and feel a sense of achievement that I was making progress.
Being able to talk to a native Mandarin speaker face-to-face was really useful for working on pronunciation and tones. It is something that you just don’t have during self-study.
I would highly recommend LTL Mandarin School for anyone who is learning Mandarin. I am still a beginner but I felt that doing the 10 hour course has helped to take my learning to a new level.
Thanks to Ruth for being a wonderful teacher!
