FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I cancel a class?
If you cannot make it to class that is OK.
Just let your teacher know and you will be told which materials have been covered, so that if you have time, you can go through them yourself before the next class.
Will I study both spoken and reading characters?
While the focus of LTL group classes is on quick progress in spoken Chinese, characters are used and taught throughout the course.
The main aim is reading and character recognition rather than writing, because hand writing is not really needed in modern day China.
If you want to only study spoken Chinese, you might want to have a look at the Spoken Chinese Only Program; if, however, you want to work on your characters then a better option would be to take individual Chinese classes.
On average an LTL group class has three students per teacher, and guaranteed never more than six.
Why do group classes only go up to intermediate level?
At the beginning students tend to all be at a similar level in all aspects of the language, i.e. speaking, listening, reading and writing.
The more advanced students are, the bigger the differences get.
Someone who lived in Shanghai for many years and can express themselves very efficiently might know almost no characters at all.
Another student who studied at university abroad might know hundreds of characters, but has almost no experience in speaking Chinese at all.
Then there are students with Japanese language backgrounds who know almost 2000 Chinese characters without ever having studied Mandarin – because those characters are used in Japanese too!
So even with the small group sizes at LTL, an advanced group class is almost always either too difficult or too easy for some of the students.
How do you choose my group?
Before you start your classes, our Director of Studies will do an informal assessment with you – either in person or via Skype/Phone/WeChat.
Based on this assessment you will be assigned to the most suitable group.
All the teachers were really good and I enjoyed the classes a lot. The classes are small and convenient. I'd recommend these type of classes to anyone who wants to improve. Thanks LTL!
I found LTL on the internet and was convinced to study here after seeing all the positive reviews. I'm really happy with the progress i made and with the level of my Chinese. Thank you LTL!
When I came to Shanghai I already had some Chinese skills. I wanted to improve the basics that I had to more advanced level. There were two other students in my group. I improved my Chinese far
I’ve joined small group classes and had few different teachers. All the teachers were really good and I enjoyed the classes a lot. Overall I had four teachers and each of them had unique teaching method. I didn’t have a favorite teacher since all of them were very attentive and friendly. Each lesson I had a lot of questions to ask and my teachers always were so nice and tried to answer all of my questions and tried to make sure I understood everything. I really appreciate it all and I would like to thank them for all the effort they put in to help me improve.
I would recommend this type of classes to anyone who wants to improve their Chinese language skills. The classes are small and convenient. Thanks LTL and the staff for a great experience.

I found LTL on the internet and was convinced to study here after seeing all the positive reviews. I’ve studied Mandarin for almost 10 years before, but a few years passed since I studied Chinese in Shanghai. LTL teachers helped me to refresh my Chinese language skills and i managed to progress rapidly. I’m really happy with the progress i made and with the level of my Chinese.
The school fosters a very collaborative learning environment and offers many opportunities for you to get to know your peers. Thank you LTL!

When I came to Shanghai I already had some Chinese language skills. I wanted to improve the basics that I already had to more advanced level. There are a lot of different language schools in Shanghai and it was hard to choose but in the end I decided to study with LTL because of their small group classes. There were two other students in my group which helped in my studies, because teachers could pay attention to each one of us.
We practiced everything, the speaking and writing with Pinyin and Hanzi. Hanzi was a bit difficult for me. I improved my Chinese so far, that I was able to get around in Shanghai very well.
