ACCOMMODATION

Whilst you’ll learn most of your Mandarin in the classroom with us, it’s not all about what you do at school – it’s what you do out of it that matters.

This is where the idea of the LTL Homestay came from.

Needless to say it is one of our greatest ideas – 80% of LTL students stay at a homestay.

We also offer shared apartments and private studios. Please read on to find out more information about our accommodation options in Shanghai.
