Singapore Homestay

Our homestay program is one that over 80% of LTL Mandarin School students book.

The homestay in Singapore is one of the reasons why, as a school, we stand out from the rest. Living the language is far from just going to Chinese classes, it’s about immersion. That’s what we do best. Make no mistake, this is a once in a lifetime experience to live with a Chinese speaking family, and live and breathe Mandarin!

Living with a Chinese Family – What to Expect?

Throughout all of our schools, as stated before, roughly 80% of our students choose to stay with a Chinese host family.

We cannot underestimate this number. The experience you will enjoy at a homestay is second to none and the reason why it’s so popular is because it genuinely enhances your Mandarin to new levels. This is what it’s all about.

Imagine after your Chinese lessons in Singapore, you plan on going out with fellow students and speaking English… what happens to the things you learnt that day?

Now imagine going to spend some time with your homestay family, who speak no English.

Not rocket science, right?!

Now of course, we are not telling you to isolate yourself from fellow students, anything but. Nevertheless, if it’s immersion you want, you have to be prepared to make these decisions.
