"This was my second stay in Shanghai with LTL. I looked at many schools but in the end the location and flexibility made me decide on LTL. I enjoyed it the first time, so I decided to come back again this summer. I loved Shanghai and the social events"

"The course curriculum was very good. Even though I sometimes missed a lesson I could still jump into the rest of my class no problem, providing I caught up with the work of course. My 1-on-1 lessons were very good"

"My 4 weeks with LTL have been amazing! I have had a wonderful time – living with my homestay family, having dinner with Chinese friends, learning Mandarin. So much of this was possible because of the LTL staff. Thank you for your flexibility "

“Before starting my Skype lessons, I thought online classes might not offer the same learning experience, but I was pleasantly surprised! The sound quality is great and you can share your desktop with your teacher. "
