The assessment will involve a short chat with our Director of Studies and a number of basic questions. We do the rest.

"Our teacher also made sure that there was enough room for personal accents and questions. In general she really encouraged us to speak, read and write. In conclusion I would say that I’ve made real progress. A lot faster than I would have in Belgium. I can’t wait to go back for a third time."

"The classes and the organisation and how things were explained suited both of us very well. The teachers repeat things a lot focusing on the pronunciation, and correct us when we say something wrong. We really like this. We liked the LTL lessons a lot."

"11 weeks at LTL have flown by and it’s been a great experience that I’d recommend. If you are on the fence, just make the jump. I decided to sign up for the Small Group Classes with some individual as well, at LTL Beijing. My Chinese lessons were great fun."

LTL students had a variety of backgrounds I was reassured not to be the only ‘oldie’ in my group class. There is a sociable atmosphere and I particularly liked the fact that teachers and students ate lunch together. I look forward to returning for the even more immersive program!
