Why Learn Online #1 – Flexibility

Whichever month you want to start studying with us, we’ll get you onboard in no time!

If you are a complete beginner or on the cusp of HSK 6, it doesn’t matter, we are ready to get the ball rolling on your language learning journey.

If you study 1-on-1 with us we can tailor a course specifically to your needs and you can start on any Monday of the year.

If you wish to join a group class, we will most likely have to designate a specific date as we need to arrange this with other students too.

Either way, we are incredibly flexible, we are fully aware of time differences, your working schedule and everything else that life throws at you, don’t worry, we’ll make it work.

Why Learn Online #2 – Value

Our courses are excellent value for money, and when you factor in that you don’t have to commute, travel or drive to classes, the case proves even stronger.

Our online courses are competitively priced meaning you get the best value for money, that fits around your schedule.

The more classes you book with us, the cheaper it becomes!

All our teachers are qualified Mandarin teachers. That’s why we hired them to work in our classrooms all over China. We are bringing our incredibly talented teachers right to your computer screen!

Why Learn Online #3 – Together

Sounds odd doesn’t it, but actually, even though you are learning from the comfort of your own home the community feel is still very much alive for you.

It’s very easy to build strong rapports with your teacher and classmates even through online classes.

You are invited into all our WeChat communal groups where students discuss all things Chinese. You will have unrestricted access to groups with your teacher and classmates.

The learning doesn’t stop at the end of class, keep the conversation going 24/7 if you so wish.

Everyone counts at LTL, whether you are in China or not.

Why Learn Online #4 – Online Immersion

Achieving immersion online sounds like an impossible task, but actually it’s not.

Sure, there’s no substitute for coming to China and being truly immersed, but not everyone has the time or the opportunities to do so. We don’t want that to stop you from learning Chinese.

Immersion can be achieved in many ways.

Why Learn Online #5 – Tailored To You

Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced?

You can learn what you want with our individual, tailored online courses!

Group Classes or Individual?

Students with any level of prior Chinese experience are invited to study with us.

If you want to learn something in particular, our tailored individual courses are a perfect fit for you.

Learning in groups of three to six creates a sense of camaraderie between the students, even online.

Many of our students choose to do a combination of both!

Why Learn Online #6 – Supportive

We are fully aware learning Chinese is a commitment, even for a couple of hours at home three times a week. That’s OK.

It might feel like you are on your own from afar. Do not fear!

LTL Mandarin School is staffed with native Chinese teachers and also an international team of English/Italian/French/Russian/Norwegian (and more) speaking Student Advisors.

Our student advisors job is to make you feel at ease with your course, to help you “settle into” life at LTL. Even if you aren’t physically here, that doesn’t matter.

You are a crucial part of us no matter where you are in the world.

We are here to support you.
