Personal Assessment

Our personal assessment is something we do before you come to take you Chinese classes in Beijing.

This is a way for us to understand your level of Chinese which is vital for our Director of Studies when placing you in a class. We pride ourselves on matching our students in the best possible class to enhance further learning.

You will speak to us via Whatsapp, Skype or a phone call

NOTE – Our assessment is not a test.

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

We also have a gym located in the complex and we have a common area for all our students to eat food, relax and study.

The nearest metro stop from the school is Da Wang Lu which is located on Line’s 1 and 14 of the Beijing Metro. The school is right next to Exit B of Da Wang Lu Metro Station.

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.

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.

I found out by searching the web. I liked the webpage and LTL seems to have a good variety of activities besides just learning the language. The location of the school is good because it's not that far away from the centre of the city and it's quite close to Sanlitun.

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.

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

How well qualified are your teachers?

All our teachers hold a University Degree in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language and on top of that they have at least 5 years teaching experience. You have to be the best to work at LTL and it shows in our lessons.

When you come to study Chinese in China you are in the best hands possible.

What materials are used and what is a common lesson structure at LTL?

Your speaking, reading and writing will improve daily and you can further enhance that by adding on one of our 1 on 1 programs.

Where will my classmates be from?

All four corners of the World.

We’ve hosted over 100 different nationalities at LTL and that is only growing. In over a decade of providing Chinese lessons in China we’ve hosted well over 3,500 students.

Will I be able to speak much in a group class?

Yes everyone gets the chance to speak.

This is a key reason why class sizes are kept small. Every student will get ample opportunities to speak Mandarin in class. We believe strongly in getting every student talking as early as possible.

You are learning Chinese in China, so you have to make the most of the opportunity and talking Chinese as much as you can, is vital.

What are your school facilities like?

It’s a great environment to learn Chinese in China, and due to our tight knit nature we make everyone feel at home immediately.

We have 17+ classrooms, a kitchen with free tea, coffee and beer and a safe and relaxed place to study Chinese.

How is the Intensive Chinese Course beneficial even more so?

An intensive Chinese course in China will enhance your experience here simply for the fact your two hour 1 on 1 tutorials will drill home what you’ve learned in your group class.

In four hours, we will teach you new grammar concepts, new vocabulary and new ways of speaking.

You can then apply all of this on your own with your teacher in the individual classes. There are a load of benefits that come with an Intensive Chinese course in China as you’ll see by clicking the link below.

Can I get lunch at the school during break?

Yes of course.

In our Beijing centre we order in traditional Chinese food everyday. Just speak to our staff and get yourself signed up. There are also many places locally to eat as well so your are spoilt for choice whether it be local Chinese food or more western options. Once school is over there are a tonne of things to do in Beijing, even free things!

Can I aid my Chinese learning by studying Chinese on my phone?

This is something we really recommend when commuting.

Every little bit of Chinese helps and luckily for you we have a host of apps to recommend. Our favourite Chinese learning apps are featured in our blog. We rate and review them. Included are Duolingo, Skritter and Chineasy.

We also offer a discount on signing up for some of these apps. Speak to us in the school and we will confirm the details.

We also have some great Online Chinese Programs to start your off with the basics before you arrive in China and to help keep your Chinese up to scratch when you go home too.

Can I go travelling after my language program?

Of course you can.

There are lots of interesting places to visit in China as well as great things to do in our school cities. Make sure you discuss an outline of your plans with your student advisor during the booking process to make sure you’ll have enough time on your visa.

Do you have group online courses also?

We do indeed.

We have a number of online courses which range from individual online classes, an online semester program, HSK online courses, and online courses for kids.
