FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How well qualified are your teachers?
We owe our success to our teachers.
All of our teachers are university educated, and hold teaching certificates. We also only hire already experienced teachers.
Our hiring process for teachers is meticulous, and it shows in the classes you receive.
What do you focus on in class?
The classes consist of all aspects of language learning, speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
However, the classes are mainly focused on oral, which takes up about 70% of the class, and 30% is dedicated to reading and writing.
Do you teach Chinese characters?
Yes, we do.
As the classes are in Taiwan, we are teaching traditional as well as simplified characters, but our group classes teach just Traditional.
However, the main focus of the class is still speaking and listening.
For lessons in Simplified Chinese please check out our 1-on-1 classes in Kaohsiung.
How can I continue learning Chinese after my course?
Lots of students are worried about how they can continue learning Chinese when they finish their course with LTL.
This is why we offer 24/7 Mandarin lessons using our amazing Flexi Classes platform.
Where will my classmates be from?
Your classmates will come from all over the world.
That’s the beauty of LTL, we welcome people from all four corners of the world.
Do I get time to speak in class?
Yes, everyone gets the chance to speak and practice Chinese in class.
This is precisely why we keep the class size small, to give you enough opportunities to speak and practice your Chinese.
We know the importance of getting every student talking Chinese as soon as possible, you are learning Mandarin in a local environment so you need to make the most out of this opportunity.
How much Chinese can I realistically learn?
While language progress of course differs for each person, we are very proud of the speed that we get our students ahead.
For the small group course a complete beginner usually knows survival Chinese to get around within two to four weeks (HSK1), can have basic conversations after two months (HSK2), more complex conversations after five to seven (HSK 4) and can reach fluency within a year (HSK 5 to 6).
Students who live in a Homestay and study Chinese individually tend to progress much faster than those who don’t.
Can I add individual classes to my group classes?
Yes no problem.
Our Intensive/small group Chinese language course is four hours of group study a day, and two hours of individual Chinese.
