The Flexi Classes Method
At Flexi Classes, we believe that learning a language should be a natural, engaging, and confidence-building experience. We are more than just an online language school — we are your gateway to mastering a language the way it’s meant to be spoken: authentically and fluently.
Our unique teaching method brings the world to your doorstep. Picture this: you’re in a virtual classroom filled with classmates from all over the globe, all working towards the same goal — mastering a new language. Guided by our highly skilled native-speaking teachers, you’ll dive into real-world conversations and topics that mirror everyday situations.
Each class is designed to go beyond just vocabulary and grammar. Our approach ensures you learn how words are used in context, perfect your pronunciation, and gain insights into the cultural nuances behind the language. This dynamic, practical method lays a solid foundation for speaking naturally and confidently in any scenario.
Whether you’re ordering street food in Beijing, navigating a bustling Tokyo subway, or networking at an international business event, Flexi Classes prepares you to communicate effectively in real-life situations. With every session, you’re not just learning a language — you’re connecting with a culture.
Our Story
September 2007 – LTL Founded by Andreas Laimböck
Our story starts with Andreas Laimböck, a Frankfurt native who first arrived in China in 1999. Fascinated by the culture, he began studying Mandarin in Beijing in 2002. Fueled by his desire to create an immersive learning experience for language learners, Andreas founded LTL Language School in 2007. His vision was simple but powerful: to offer students from around the world an environment where they could not only learn Mandarin but also live and breathe the language through cultural immersion. Over time, LTL Language School became a go-to destination for learners worldwide.
October 2020 – The Birth of LTL Flexi Classes
When the world came to a standstill during the pandemic, travel restrictions disrupted language learning as we knew it. In response, we launched LTL Flexi Classes — a groundbreaking online platform offering the same immersive learning environment but from the comfort of home. With the ability to book live classes 24/7 and learn from native-speaking teachers, students could now continue their language journey anytime, anywhere.
2021 – Expanding Horizons with Five Asian Languages
Recognizing the growing demand for Asian languages, we worked tirelessly to expand our offerings. By 2021, Flexi Classes featured five languages: Mandarin (Simplified and Traditional), Vietnamese, Japanese, and Korean. This marked an exciting step in our mission to connect more learners with professional native teachers.
2022 & 2023 – Introducing Western Languages
Our growth didn’t stop there. In 2022 and 2023, we extended our reach to include Italian, Russian and Spanish, bringing the immersive learning experience to even more languages and cultures.
2024 – A Global Community of Learners
By 2024, Flexi Classes had grown to offer 11 languages, welcoming over 7,000 students from around the world. From beginners to advanced learners, we’ve created a global community united by a love for languages and cultural exchange.
