The Free Assessment
No need to worry this isn’t a real test, just a way to help us gauge your Chinese level.
Before starting your course with LTL you’ll have a language assessment so that we know what your Chinese level is. This is essential to make sure we put you in the right class so that you make the most progress.
It would be no use for you to be stuck in a class too low for your level would it?
You’ll have a brief chat via Skype, WeChat, WhatsApp etc with our director of studies for 5-10 minutes and this will give us an idea of which class you should be placed in.
The assessment makes sure everything is all set for when you arrive in China!
NOTE – If you already know some Mandarin, you can start on any Monday of the year. If you are a complete beginner, then you can start on anyone of these Mondays below.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I get the 30% Xi’an discount you mentioned?
The discount is already applied with our prices above.
Prices for every single course will come out 30% cheaper than our standard pricing for Xi’an classes.
You can build your own program also with our pricing calculator whereby you can select up to 8 cities to study in with us.
What’s a standard lesson at LTL like?
There is no standard lesson but to give you an idea… Group classes are all about enhancing your basis of Chinese as quickly as possible.
Our lessons are all about being dynamic from the very start. We do have a structure though, as all good schools have!
Mon-Wed-Fri – Speaking
Tue-Thu – Character Practice
Do we get to talk much?
Yes, this is essential and why we keep class sizes so small.
If you just sit and listen to us, how do you expect to improve. It’s so important to us that you all get speaking as early as possible and get comfortable with the language.
How many teachers will I have?
Generally one or two. This can vary though.
It can depend on a number of factors. These include the season and how busy the school is
A typical scenario will leave you with two teachers – one for Oral Chinese and the other for Written Chinese.
Of course, all teachers communicate about their lessons with other teachers so you don’t waste time going over the same things.
What’s best, individual classes or group classes?
This really is up to you in truth. If you already have a good grasp of Mandarin then putting you into a group is much tougher because levels tend to vary much more from the intermediate levels upwards.
If you are a complete beginner, or have a little knowledge in Chinese, the Intensive course (4 hours Group, 2 hours Individual) would be a great way to start.
Can I also study Chinese online before coming to China?
You sure can, before or after your time in China.
You have a number of options:
1 – Learning Chinese individually Online
2 – Learning Chinese in a group Online
3 – Our brand New Flexi Class system allowing you to book any class, at any time, with any teacher you choose!
You can even study Shanghainese Online and Cantonese Online with us.
Is 6 hours a day too much for me?
It’s a challenge, no doubt about that. However, our students tend to relish and enjoy it.
It’s a great way to consolidate what you learn in group classes and also a great way to tailor content to how you want.
You get a nice balance then of group class work, and then your own time to drill that information home.
Do you have accommodation I can stay at also?
This is your choice.
80% of our students stay at a Homestay with us. They are super popular simply because your level enhances further and they do give an experience you genuinely cannot replicate elsewhere.
That said, if you wish, you can book up accommodation through booking.com or AirBnb if you so wish.
