Kaohsiung Safari
One of the best ways to learn Mandarin is to practice out and about on the streets on Kaohsiung. That is exactly what our Kaohsiung Safari program will help you with.
Learn how to do all the basic things you’ll need to get around Taiwan, how to buy a train ticket, how to order your favourite foods and drinks, how to bargain for your favourite pair of shoes. There’s no better way to get to grips with the Chinese basics than really immersing yourself and getting out there and practising.
Your Chinese language teacher will accompany you at all times on the Kaohsiung Safari program. All LTL teachers are experienced and know their way around Kaohsiung. They’ll make sure that your safari program is suitable for your Mandarin level.
Our Kaohsiung Safari classes are split into 3 parts:
Warm up – Your LTL teacher will introduce the lesson topic to you, and go through any vocabulary and sentence structures needed.

Will I learn Mandarin in Kaohsiung faster 1 to 1?
Yes, with 1-on-1 Mandarin classes, everything is up to you and your needs.
The pace will be up to you, if you want to progress faster, you can. If you want to learn more speaking than writing (or vice versa), you can.

Yes we do.
Our most popular choice is our homestay experiences.
Here, you will live with a local family in Kaohsiung and you’ll be able to enjoy local, home cooked food every day whilst also practicing your Mandarin.
Group lessons seem more social, should I worry?
Just because you are in an 1-on-1 class doesn’t mean you won’t meet people!
To help you meet new friends, students and locals alike, we offer The LTL Lunch Club, and various social events throughout the week.
Don’t worry about the social aspect, the friendships you will build will happen outside the classroom.

Six hours of Mandarin study can sound like a lot, but in our experience you will not feel this way.
We know that people learn differently, and our classes will be set up to be both enjoyable as well as informative.
Learning for six hours every day will also see your Chinese ability improve quickly, but of course it’s a challenge and, especially early on, there will be a lot to take in!
