Study Mandarin the social way, with our small group classes.

All our classes are led by experienced and certified teachers, and there will never be more than six students per class. This is so you can learn Mandarin quickly in a social environment without having to compete for the teachers attention.

Our school conveniently located in the centre of Taipei. If you are looking for even quicker progress, why not combining your classes with a homestay, so you can practice what you learn in class with your host family.

We take great care in selecting our teachers, so you can efficiently improve your Mandarin language skills.

The small group classes cover a wide range of topics from daily life to culture and are a fun and social way of learning Mandarin. Our classes consist of 70% oral, and 30% reading and writing, so you cover a lot during your time at LTL. Our pre-arrival assessment will help us make sure that you end up in the right class with the right teacher.

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.

I want to continue learning after my course, how?

Lots of students are worried about how they can keep up their mandarin practise when they finish their course with LTL.

This is why we offer online courses, so that students can keep studying with their LTL teachers and materials when they return home.

Where will my classmates be from?

Your classmates will come from all over the world.

So far at LTL we have provided Mandarin classes to over 4,500 students from more than 100 countries.

Do I get time to speak in class?

Yes, everyone gets the chance to speak and practice their 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 Taiwanese Homestay, choose the small group & individual classes or take part in the Chinese Immersion Program, progress faster than those who don’t.

Is your school easy to find?

Absolutely, we are located on Google Maps so just plug in LTL Taiwan, set the directions and you’ll find us in no time!

Head to Xinyi Anhe MTR station and we are a short walk from there.

The staff here are amazing, they help us with everything. I didn’t realise I’d see and be with them everyday! We go for lunch everyday together. My experience here has been amazing.

★★★★★

My time here went very smoothly, I really enjoyed the classes and liked the teaching style. 4h of group class per day sometimes felt quite long but I really liked the classes overall.

– Sammy from the US

★★★★★

The teachers vary in teaching style, but they are really all very good. They listen to your questions and are always there for you. I plan to come back to LTL, maybe Shanghai.

– Nuttanicha from Thailand

It’s working really well. Each week has been progressively better and we’re making good progress. We study in a local style. I’m very satisfied with the whole experience.

– Aidan from Australia

★★★★★

The atmosphere at the school and the exchange with the teachers & other students are extremely enjoyable. I’ve been renewing the 12 weeks program 3 times.

– Maxime from France

★★★★★

It was a very immersive experience and throughout my lessons I did not really speak any English at all, which I think was very important. I really can’t recommend LTL enough.
