Learn Chinese Online – Preparation Course

Learn Chinese Online with LTL Mandarin School

Learn Chinese Online

Our Learn Chinese Online program is a pre-arrival course designed for complete beginners.

It will get you ready for all the situations you might encounter during your first few days in China and will make sure that you are well-prepared.

You can choose from either the Basic option which will be 10 hours of classes, or the Comprehensive option which is 20 hours.

The Basic course includes five modules that we think are essential for a beginner Chinese learner coming to China. The Comprehensive course builds on this, offering five further modules. Each module is a 2 hour class.

If you choose the Basic option you can schedule all of the classes on weekends, whereas for the Comprehensive course you would need to be free on some week nights too. There will be a fixed schedule, the same for each week arranged for you and your teacher.

Please also bear in mind that, this course must booked around 6 weeks before you come to China to make sure you have enough time to schedule the classes and complete all the modules. Take a look at the modules covered in both options below:

  1. Introductions – all the basics for meeting new people
  2. Food – how to grab a bite to eat and survive your first few days

Learning Chinese Online – Get your Mandarin ahead fast

If you’re worried about forgetting all the Chinese you have learnt during your time at LTL and want to keep progressing your Chinese level once you return to your home country, then our Continuation course is just the thing you need.

If you would like to study with the same teacher you had at our school in Beijing, Shanghai or Chengde, we will do our best do arrange it for you.

This might mean you would need to be a bit more flexible with your availability.

The classes will be arranged to suit both you and your teacher’s schedules. You can keep studying with the same materials you used in China, or of course choose to study with new materials too.

We will try to arrange your program to make sure your studies are as smooth as possible.
