Every teacher we recruit must hold a BA or MA in ‘Teaching Chinese as a foreign language’ (对外汉语), a four year course where they learn about teaching methods, Chinese linguistics, culture and English combined with work experience teaching. On top of this we also require our teachers to have at least two years of teaching experience before working with us and to pass a strict interview process including demonstration classes. Our teachers are professionals who have chosen to dedicate their career to teaching this beautiful language. We believe that with good teachers even the most challenging of subjects can be made simple and attainable.\r\n\r\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_2487.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2690 alignright" title="immersion2" alt="Great immersion options at LTL Mandarin school" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/IMG_2487-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>Immersion:</strong></span>\r\n\r\nWe want our students to not only speak Mandarin during class, but use it every day, soak up the culture, and truly experience this amazing country. This applies to beginners just as much as to intermediate students. Whatever you learned, you should use and practice as soon as possible, however simple or basic.

Our students have very diverse cultural and linguistic background, however everyone has the same aim: to learn Mandarin, discover China and make new friends. It does not matter if you study 1-on-1 or in a small group, all LTL students meet every day for lunch at our school, go for school dinners, and often travel on the weekends together. You will meet the other new students during the LTL Monday welcome breakfast and after a week of Beijing duck dinners and school lunches you will be part of an international student community, exploring China and learning Mandarin together.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/bike7sm-1024x657.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2687 alignright" title="bicycle-service" alt="great service at LTL Mandarin school" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/bike7sm-1024x657-300x192.jpg" width="300" height="192" /></a> Service:</strong></span>\r\n\r\nLiving in China, a country where English is not spoken, is mostt of the time a lot of fun, however at times can also be quite challenging, especially at the beginning. How to exchange money, get wireless mobile service, find the next bus station, buy clothes and many other seemingly basic tasks can be difficult when you do not fully understand yet what people say and live in a culture that different to your own. Let the LTL team be your cultural translator, advise you when you do not know what to do, and be your friend when you feel lost. We will help you to settle into this culture, introduce you to new friends, take you out for dinners, and translate for you when you do not understand. For most of our students LTLl is more than just a school, it is a home away from home, where you meet friends, get help and support, or just share your experiences with others over a cup of tea.\r\n\r\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong> <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/trust-into-LTL.gif"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5729" alt="trust-into-LTL" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/trust-into-LTL-300x165.gif" width="300" height="165" /></a>Trust:</strong></span>\r\n\r\nWhile LTL is accredited by the Chinese, German and Swedish governments as a certified Chinese language school, the official Mandarin teaching centre for Michigan State University in Beijing and is one of China\'s leading language schools, we think it is not the official certificates that matter, but the experiences and continued trust of our students and their families. Chinese homestay families trust LTL to organize for international students to live in their homes, students from all around the world rely on LTL to organize their stays in China, and parents trust LTL to ensure the safety of their children in China.

INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (6953, 10, '2014-04-16 11:25:17', '2014-04-16 11:25:17', '<h2>"Have you completely lost your mind?", "Isn\'t that dangerous?", "Can\'t you just run a half-marathon somewhere else?".</h2>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nThese were the most common reactions when telling people about my plans. In fact, there was barely anyone who thought going to Pyongyang, North Korea to run the first ever marathon open for foreign amateurs was a good idea, it is a communist dictatorship after all.\r\n\r\nI\'d like to think that I have not lost my mind and I had no idea how dangerous it would be. To be perfectly honest, I had no idea what to expect at all. But how would I ever find out if I didn\'t just risk it? So yes, I could run a marathon somewhere else but isn\'t the addition \'in Pyongyang\' what makes it really special? In the end, curiosity and excitement were much stronger than any doubts I had and so on the morning of the 12th of April 2014, I found myself at the Beijing Airport waiting for the plane that would take me on one of the most amazing trips I\'ve ever been on. The tour was provided by Koryo Tours and arranged through LTL Mandarin School where I am currently studying. My travel group consisted of almost 20 people from all over Asia, Europe, Canada, New Zealand and even the USA. Some were experienced runners, some were first-timers (like myself) and some just went as spectators. Everyone was very excited when the plane finally landed in Pyongyang and admittedly a bit nervous when passing customs and security controls. However, there were no complications and soon after we were taken on our very own tour bus on a bumpy road into North Korea\'s capital.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/5.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6950" alt="__ 5" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/5-300x223.jpg" width="300" height="223" /></a>Pyongyang is a very unique city with big monuments, very wide and open streets, great stadiums and pictures of the former North Korean leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il everywhere. There are no flashy advertisements or brand names whatsoever which found to be a very nice change from other big cities I\'ve been to. Also unusual for a city with a population of 4 million, there are barely any motorized vehicles in the streets but many pedestrians and people on bicycles. Unfortunately it is not all a tourists dream; there are areas where it is forbidden to take pictures and grey and dull residential districts with small apartment blocks. There is also a lot of agriculture. People use animals for work in the fields and women wash clothes in the river, showing the country is not nearly as developed as many other parts of Asia. Our fantastic North Korean tour guides took us along the 10km loop that we were going to run the next morning. It is a good way to get to know the city since the course goes past many of Pyongyang\'s greatest sights like the Arch of Triumph and the Rungnado May Day Stadium, which is one of the biggest sports stadiums in the world! Koryo Tours booked a beautiful hotel with many facilities, perfect for us to relax before the big event.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/4.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6951" alt="__ 4" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/4-300x223.jpg" width="300" height="223" /></a>We left early on Sunday morning and were taken to a gate leading into the stadium to line up with all the other half-marathon amateurs. It was funny to see the uniformed North Korean organizers getting more and more frustrated with us chatting and standing out of line, a huge contrast to the local groups of professionals and even groups of Korean children that stood perfectly upright in straight lines without even blinking. <span style="font-size: 13px;">Since it was my very first half-marathon I was starting to get nervous but talking to other runners helped and a</span>t 8:30 the ceremony finally started and we started walking into the stadium. It was simply breathtaking. We were told not to expect more than a couple of hundred spectators but there was not a single empty seat in the stadium! Thousands of people applauding and cheering for us as we walked on to the pitch.\r\n\r\nWhen the race started at 9:00, I started running and talking with some other guys that kept the same speed as me and not a single one has ever experienced something like this at a marathon. Even along the route, there were tons of people cheering and clapping as we ran by, children waving to us, reaching out their hands for a high-five. The incredible atmosphere spurred me on and after about six kilometers, I started going a bit faster. For me, the people were definitely the most unexpected thing about travelling to Pyongyang. None of us thought that the locals would interact much with us at all but after a while, my arm hurt more from waving than my legs from running.\r\n\r\nWhen I got to about 19 kilometers, I was overtaken by a car showing the time: 1:29:xx. I never expected to be this fast and along with all the cheers, this drove me to keep going until I reached the stadium again where we ran a final lap. If anything was even better than the opening ceremony, it was that last lap. I was lucky enough to run in there almost alone and felt I had thousands of people cheering just for me. At last, I made it to the finish and was given a towel and water. I watched the other runners coming into the stadium one after the another and the spectators cheered for every single one! I don\'t think that there will be many races that can beat this. Every runner I talked to was simply overwhelmed by this race. For me the experience was made even more wonderful as I never thought I would get anywhere near my final 1:41:47. Although the highlight of the day was reached, we all enjoyed a great closing ceremony, delicious Korean food and a stop by the Pyongyang bowling alley, completing a truly unforgettable day for our whole group.\r\n\r\nThe next day my legs were extremely sore so I didn\'t mind the long bus tour of two and a half hours to the South Korean border, somewhere<span style="font-size: 13px;"> I looked forward to visiting. There are many soldiers walking around, one of whom took us into the very rooms right on the border where negotiations between North Korea and the UN and North Korea and the USA have taken place. It was all very interesting and we were even allowed to take pictures at times. </span>We went on to visit two Unesco World Heritage sites in North Korea after leaving the border. One of them was an ancient university, the other was the tombs of former Korean kings. Both were incredibly beautiful! I personally had no idea about any World Heritage sites before this trip, so I was once again surprised how much this country has to offer! The scenic trip back to the capital passed through many small towns and villages where despite the poor living conditions, the incredibly friendly locals smiled, stared and waved. The trip came to an end with one final wonderful dinner in Pyongyang, accompanied by young women performing traditional Korean songs. A fantastic end to a fantastic couple of days.\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: 13px;">Going on this trip was one of the best decisions I ever made and no one in my tour group disagreed with me. The political situation in the country naturally causes people to be very concerned but thanks to the great tour guides at Koryo Tours, I always felt 100% safe. I think sometimes you have to take a risk to have a great story to tell!</span>\r\n\r\n<img class="alignleft  wp-image-6948" alt="karim" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/karim-247x300.png" width="104" height="126" />\r\n\r\n<em><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;">Karim, Germany.</span></strong></em>\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: 13px;">Karim currently spends his gap year with LTL studying <a title="Learn Chinese in Beijing" href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/learn-chinese-beijing/">Chinese in Beijing</a> while living in a <a title="Chinese Homestays in Beijing" href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/traveling-to-china/chinese-homestay/">Chinese homestay</a>.

If you love one, you will hate the other - and Chengde is a completely different world to those two mega cities.I spent 15 years traveling and living all over China and found these three my favorite places to learn Chinese in. However I think it is very important to ask yourself what you are looking for before making a choice, so you pick the one that is right for you. Do you want to be able to communicate in English if necessary (Shanghai) or be speaking Mandarin all (Chengde)? Or maybe somewhere in between (Beijing)? Do you enjoy art, clubbing or hiking? Are you learning Mandarin to learn about the culture or to develop a career? Read about the cities on this page and do your own research before making your choice.If you are not sure where might be best for you, feel free to send me an email on <a href="mailto:andreas@livethelanguage.cn">andreas@livethelanguage.cn</a> and I would be happy to offer advice.</dd><dt>Why not study Chinese somewhere else?</dt><dd>Mandarin is China\'s official language, however it is the native tongue of only a part of the population and only a fraction of those speak standard Mandarin. As a result, if you want to study in a standard Mandarin speaking environment, there are basically two choices. First, North-East China, basically anything from Beijing northwards, where standard Mandarin is the main native tongue. Second, large migrant cities, like Shanghai, where people from all over China immigrate to, outnumbering the local population. They all have their own languages and accents and have to speak Mandarin with each other it being the only way to communicate, even though most do not speak it as a native language.</dd><dt>Why learn Chinese in China?</dt><dd>I learned Chinese in China because I wanted to learn about Chinese culture and had realized that without Mandarin that is just not going to happen. The great thing about studying in China is that learning Mandarin is not just an academic exercise, but the language is alive. When you learn something new, that means there is something new you can do. Order a new dish, sing your first Chinese song at Karaoke, have your first Chinese dinner conversation - it is these moments of success and the feeling that you slowly start to understand a bit more about China\'s culture and people that make learning Mandarin in China fun.</dd></dl><footer>\n<h1>Still have more questions?</h1>\nContact Andreas directly on <a href="mailto:andreas@livethelanguage.cn">andreas@livethelanguage.cn</a> to ask any questions you may have regarding our destinations or our courses.</footer>', 'Learn Chinese in China', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '6574-autosave-v1', '', '', '2014-04-25 11:53:57', '2014-04-25 11:53:57', '', 6574, 'http://ltl-chinois.fr/6574-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

In fact, there was barely anyone who thought going to Pyongyang, North Korea to run the first ever marathon open for foreign amateurs was a good idea, it is a communist dictatorship after all.\r\n\r\nI\'d like to think that I have not lost my mind and I had no idea how dangerous it would be. To be perfectly honest, I had no idea what to expect at all. But how would I ever find out if I didn\'t just risk it? So yes, I could run a marathon somewhere else but isn\'t the addition \'in Pyongyang\' what makes it really special? In the end, curiosity and excitement were much stronger than any doubts I had and so on the morning of the 12th of April 2014, I found myself at the Beijing Airport waiting for the plane that would take me on one of the most amazing trips I\'ve ever been on. The tour was provided by Koryo Tours and arranged through LTL Mandarin School where I am currently studying. My travel group consisted of almost 20 people from all over Asia, Europe, Canada, New Zealand and even the USA. Some were experienced runners, some were first-timers (like myself) and some just went as spectators. Everyone was very excited when the plane finally landed in Pyongyang and admittedly a bit nervous when passing customs and security controls. However, there were no complications and soon after we were taken on our very own tour bus on a bumpy road into North Korea\'s capital.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/5.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6950" alt="__ 5" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/5-300x223.jpg" width="300" height="223" /></a>Pyongyang is a very unique city with big monuments, very wide and open streets, great stadiums and pictures of the former North Korean leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il everywhere. There are no flashy advertisements or brand names whatsoever which found to be a very nice change from other big cities I\'ve been to. Also unusual for a city with a population of 4 million, there are barely any motorized vehicles in the streets but many pedestrians and people on bicycles. Unfortunately it is not all a tourists dream; there are areas where it is forbidden to take pictures and grey and dull residential districts with small apartment blocks. There is also a lot of agriculture. People use animals for work in the fields and women wash clothes in the river, showing the country is not nearly as developed as many other parts of Asia. Our fantastic North Korean tour guides took us along the 10km loop that we were going to run the next morning. It is a good way to get to know the city since the course goes past many of Pyongyang\'s greatest sights like the Arch of Triumph and the Rungnado May Day Stadium, which is one of the biggest sports stadiums in the world! Koryo Tours booked a beautiful hotel with many facilities, perfect for us to relax before the big event.\r\n\r\n<a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/4.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6951" alt="__ 4" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/4-300x223.jpg" width="300" height="223" /></a>We left early on Sunday morning and were taken to a gate leading into the stadium to line up with all the other half-marathon amateurs. It was funny to see the uniformed North Korean organizers getting more and more frustrated with us chatting and standing out of line, a huge contrast to the local groups of professionals and even groups of Korean children that stood perfectly upright in straight lines without even blinking. <span style="font-size: 13px;">Since it was my very first half-marathon I was starting to get nervous but talking to other runners helped and a</span>t 8:30 the ceremony finally started and we started walking into the stadium. It was simply breathtaking. We were told not to expect more than a couple of hundred spectators but there was not a single empty seat in the stadium! Thousands of people applauding and cheering for us as we walked on to the pitch.\r\n\r\nWhen the race started at 9:00, I started running and talking with some other guys that kept the same speed as me and not a single one has ever experienced something like this at a marathon. Even along the route, there were tons of people cheering and clapping as we ran by, children waving to us, reaching out their hands for a high-five. The incredible atmosphere spurred me on and after about six kilometers, I started going a bit faster. For me, the people were definitely the most unexpected thing about travelling to Pyongyang. None of us thought that the locals would interact much with us at all but after a while, my arm hurt more from waving than my legs from running.\r\n\r\nWhen I got to about 19 kilometers, I was overtaken by a car showing the time: 1:29:xx. I never expected to be this fast and along with all the cheers, this drove me to keep going until I reached the stadium again where we ran a final lap. If anything was even better than the opening ceremony, it was that last lap. I was lucky enough to run in there almost alone and felt I had thousands of people cheering just for me. At last, I made it to the finish and was given a towel and water. I watched the other runners coming into the stadium one after the another and the spectators cheered for every single one! I don\'t think that there will be many races that can beat this. Every runner I talked to was simply overwhelmed by this race. For me the experience was made even more wonderful as I never thought I would get anywhere near my final 1:41:47. Although the highlight of the day was reached, we all enjoyed a great closing ceremony, delicious Korean food and a stop by the Pyongyang bowling alley, completing a truly unforgettable day for our whole group.\r\n\r\nThe next day my legs were extremely sore so I didn\'t mind the long bus tour of two and a half hours to the South Korean border, somewhere<span style="font-size: 13px;"> I looked forward to visiting. There are many soldiers walking around, one of whom took us into the very rooms right on the border where negotiations between North Korea and the UN and North Korea and the USA have taken place. It was all very interesting and we were even allowed to take pictures at times. </span>We went on to visit two Unesco World Heritage sites in North Korea after leaving the border. One of them was an ancient university, the other was the tombs of former Korean kings. Both were incredibly beautiful! I personally had no idea about any World Heritage sites before this trip, so I was once again surprised how much this country has to offer! The scenic trip back to the capital passed through many small towns and villages where despite the poor living conditions, the incredibly friendly locals smiled, stared and waved. The trip came to an end with one final wonderful dinner in Pyongyang, accompanied by young women performing traditional Korean songs. A fantastic end to a fantastic couple of days.\r\n\r\n<img class="alignleft  wp-image-6948" alt="karim" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/karim-247x300.png" width="148" height="180" />\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: 13px;">Going on this trip was one of the best decisions I ever made and no one in my tour group disagreed with me. The political situation in the country naturally causes people to be very concerned but thanks to the great tour guides at Koryo Tours, I always felt 100% safe. I think sometimes you have to take a risk to have a great story to tell!</span>\r\n\r\n<em><strong><span style="font-size: 13px;">Karim, Germany.</span></strong></em>\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: 13px;">Karim currently spends his gap year with LTL studying <a title="Learn Chinese in Beijing" href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/learn-chinese-beijing/">Chinese in Beijing</a> while living in a <a title="Chinese Homestays in Beijing" href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/traveling-to-china/chinese-homestay/">Chinese homestay</a>.

There are new bars, restaurants, highways, skyscrapers opening every month – you will never get bored. The city is truly exceptional, but as such also life here can be quite different to other Chinese cities. It will be the first stop on your Chinese language immersion.[toggle title="Click for more information on Beijing"]\r\n\r\nThe first stop on your Two City Como program, Beijing is a contrast of new and old, big and small, modern and traditional that cannot really be explained, but has to be experienced. Ancient temples and palaces in old Beijing are next to the skyscrapers of the Central Business District, where the nightlife is crazier than anything and people walk, work, and live faster than just about any other city in the world. On your way to school you might cycle first past the Forbidden City and little noodle shops and then through Beijing skyline, past the skyscrapers, the shopping malls and the international nightlife district, all together in one city, with endless opportunities for entertainment. As the cultural centre of China, the city has a very vibrant music, art, and student scene, while preserving the traditions of Beijing Opera (京剧), traditional stand up comedy (相声) and the Countries imperial legacy. Let 15 million Beijingers show you what is possible in today\'s China, between tradition and modernity.\r\n\r\n[/toggle]\r\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\r\n\r\n<a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Chengde-3.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2882" title="Chengde 3" alt="" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Chengde-3-300x201.jpg" width="300" height="201" /></a>\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: x-large;">Chengde</span>\r\n\r\nThe ancient Chinese imperial summer capital Chengde, is the second stop for LTL Chinese immersion programs and could not be more different to Beijing. About two hours Northeast of the capital, in the Northern Mountains next to the old Great Wall, China\'s old capital is today a quiet city, full of history, and moves at a much slower speed than China\'s big metropolises. Even though both the <a href="http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/703" target="_blank">Imperial Mountain Resort </a>and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putuo_Zongcheng_Temple" target="_blank">Putuo Temple</a> in Chengde are today UNESCO world heritage sites, very few people outside of China have heard of the city and you will most likely not meet a single other foreigner during your stay there. LTL students live with a Chinese homestay family, study 1-on-1 classes and are fully immersed into Chinese language and culture.\r\n\r\n[toggle title="Click for more information on Chengde"]\r\n\r\n<strong>Language</strong>\r\n\r\n<a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/scenery_chengde_puletemple_l.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5784" alt="Chinese Immersion" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/scenery_chengde_puletemple_l-300x211.jpg" width="300" height="211" /></a>As the former imperial summer capital, many of Chengde\'s residents are descendants of China\'s old Manchu aristocracy and as a result the Mandarin spoken in Chengde is considered one of the most standard in all of China. Students are surrounded by native speakers of Mandarin all day and all communications, from ordering food to discussing the city\'s history will be in standard Manarin. It is one of the few places in China where people on the street speak almost exactly the same as the characters in your textbook.\r\n\r\n<strong>Environment</strong>\r\n\r\nChengde is located in the mountains North of Beijing, with clean air, blue skies, hiking trails, and a ski resort in the area. It is a city that can easily be navigated on foot or by bike, while taxis are easily available and very cheap. During the summer it has a refreshing breeze and is cooler than the cities in lower lying areas, which is why in the old pre air-con days, the emperor chose to spend most of his summers there. With about half a million inhabitants, it would be considered a city in most other parts of the world, however by Chinese standards, it is little more than a big village.\r\n\r\n<strong>History</strong>\r\n\r\n<a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/chengde.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5782" alt="chinese immersion program" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/chengde-300x199.jpg" width="300" height="199" /></a>Visiting the Putuo Temple and the Imperial Mountain Resort is a must when you are in Chengde. You can do so during the weekends or choose the Chengde Safari option, where your teacher will visit the sights with your teacher, learning Mandarin while exploring the city and it\'s sights. It is worth to do a bit of reading about the Chengde\'s history before coming, to understand why the Qianlong emperor decided to build such a big Tibetan temple there or the city was so important for the Qing dynasty.\r\n\r\n<strong></strong>[/toggle]\r\n\r\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\r\n\r\nThe LTL Chinese Immersion Programs are a unique and combine a course in an international city like Beijing, full of energy and excitement with studying in a different world in Chengde, visiting historic temples, hiking in the mountains and entering into a truly Chinese world.

LTL homestay families are usually middle or high income families that enjoy having a foreigner live with them, to show them their culture and way of life while at the same time learn something themselves about the student\'s home country and how people live outside of China. Chinese families are very hospitable and in addition to the daily family feasts, you will most likely be invited to weekend outings, hiking trips to the Great Wall or family weddings - one LTL student went to no less than eight weddings in six months with his host family. Like in many countries, the best Chinese food is served at home and you will experience this in your homestay family. A Chinese meal always includes several dishes, including plenty of vegetables, and options for vegetarians or other dietary requirements can be arranged. All of this will happen while speaking Mandarin of course and you will see your spoken Chinese language skills improve very fast when living in a homestay.</p>\r\n<p align="left"><a href="www.livethelanguage.cn/traveling-to-china/apartment-offers-in-beijing/" target="_blank"><strong>Shared Apartment </strong></a>(only available in Beijing)</p>\r\n<p align="left">Whether after a homestay or for your entire stay in Beijing, LTL also provides the option of living in a <a href="www.livethelanguage.cn/traveling-to-china/apartment-offers-in-beijing/" target="_blank">shared apartment</a>.

There are many ways of doing so, however we do recommend to sign up for a Chinese language course with a local language school in your city as soon as possible after returning from China. Depending on your schedule, evening, weekend, group or 1-on-1 classes might be suitable, however the most important thing is that you continue to study, revise and improve your Chinese skills.\r\n\r\nTo make sure maximum progress, LTL recommens to study with a professional language school that offers a structured curriculum, qualified teachers and an environment where you can meet other people studying Mandarin.\r\n\r\nWe recommend having a look at our partner schools listed below.

You classmates will be from tropical islands, Siberia, Europe, the US or just about any other place in the world with a flight connection to China. They might spend a whole year here to achieve full fluency, are in Beijing as part of a language holiday in China or university program, do an <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/internship-in-china/" target="_blank">internship</a> or work in China after studying Chinese.\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Community</strong></span>\r\n\r\nStudents at LTL are a very sociable bunch, with plenty of dinners, karaoke sessions, and holiday tours organized together. While you will decide yourself in which school activities you want to participate in, for most people the school quickly becomes a second home. When taking a break on our balcony with classmates, joining other students for lunch in the lounge or just doing homework together in the library you will quickly meet a lot of people from all over the world, all with the same passion: China\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The first week</strong></span>\r\n\r\nWhile for 1-on-1 students and students who studied Chinese before it is possible to join classes every Monday, most new students arrive on the Sunday before a <a title="Group Class starting dates" href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/learn-chinese-beijing/group-classes/" target="_blank">group class starting dates</a>. For the first night, we suggest to get some sleep and rest from what was most likely a long flight and prepare what will certainly be an exciting week. Starting dates are every two or three weeks.\r\n\r\n<em>Find below a summary of <strong><a href="http://new.livethelanguage.cn/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/COMMUNITY-2-1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2837" alt="LTL Mandarin School offers a great community" src="http://new.livethelanguage.cn/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/COMMUNITY-2-1-300x224.jpg" width="300" height="224" /></a></strong> activities you will be able to take part in during a typical week with a starting date. For students who do not arrive on a starting date, many activities like dinners and karaoke might still be available that week, but some like the welcome breakfast only take place during weeks with a starting date.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong>\r\n\r\nAll new students - and many of the old ones - meet at 08:00 at the school for our welcome breakfast. We first go for a walk around the area, to show you where to find the best shops, tastiest restaurants, help with questions and explain a bit about living and studying in Beijing. We then get a traditional Chinese breakfast together, costs vary depending on what you get, but are usually between 5 and 15 RMB.\r\n\r\nAt the school students can then decide what to do for lunch today. Most students order lunch at the LTL reception, which then gets delivered to the school during lunch break and we eat together at the school during the break. A great way to meet other students, but also to avoid the lunch rush, as Beijing\'s CBD is a pretty busy place during lunch hours.\r\n\r\n<em>Note: Please always make sure you order your lunch before 10:00 or the day beforehand with Anna at reception as otherwise restaurants might not be able to deliver in time.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><a href="http://new.livethelanguage.cn/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/chinese-dinner.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3948" alt="chinese dinner" src="http://new.livethelanguage.cn/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/chinese-dinner-300x224.jpg" width="300" height="224" /></a>Tuesday</strong>\r\n\r\nAll students join for the LTL school dinner, either Beijing Duck or Beijing traditional hotpot. Always a fun night out, with plenty of food and drinks, a group of students usually carries on to the Sanlitun bar district afterwards.\r\n\r\nMeet at 18:30 at reception. For costs we share the bill together which usually works out to between 50 and 60 RMB per person.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong>\r\n\r\nIn Beijing, Friday is karaoke night. We all head out for a big night out Chinese style with plenty of beers, food, and signing. Combined with an all you can eat buffet, there are songs in Chinese and English and you can choose to join in or just listen to the others trying to do so. All levels of musical ability are welcome. Afterwards most students either choose to get some rest to be ready for the Great Wall trip the next day or continue on to one of the many Chinese discos in the area. Cost is usually about 100 RMB per person, including karaoke, food and drinks.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href="http://new.livethelanguage.cn/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/a531243_4418867633996_1699477318_n.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3958" alt="China\'s Great Wall" src="http://new.livethelanguage.cn/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/a531243_4418867633996_1699477318_n-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>The Weekend</strong>\r\n\r\nOn the weekend we do a <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/great-wall-trip">two day language holiday trip to the Great Wall</a>, weather allowing. We leave on Saturday morning, to a wild section of the Great Wall, untouched by China\'s tourism department and hidden deep in a valley in Huairou\'s mountains North of Beijing. We then spend two days climbing the old sections of the Great Wall, exploring one of mankind\'s greatest constructions, and the nature around it. For the night we return to an old little village close to the wall, once built to supply the soldiers manning the watchtowers. We then all join in for a traditional Chinese farmers dinner and watch the clear skies above the Northern Mountains, followed by joining a local village festival or just enjoying the quiet and peace.\r\n\r\n<em>Cost: 1,000 RMB, includes, transport to and from the wall, food, drinks, guide, accommodation (single rooms) and entrance tickets.</em> <em>As the Great Wall trip usually gets full very early, we suggest to reserve a place beforehand if you want to go.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://new.livethelanguage.cn/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/SAM_1808-300x225.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3558" alt="skiing in Beijing" src="http://new.livethelanguage.cn/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/SAM_1808-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>After the first week</span></strong>\r\n\r\nCommunity is very important for us at LTL, and plenty of movie nights, clubbing, parties, and dinners are organized regularly by students and often teachers as well. In addition the school organizes activities for traditional Chinese holidays, dinners, activities, school trips in the summer, <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/ghost-tour-beijing">beijing ghost tours</a> and skiing holidays in the winter. Providing an environment that allows students to get known to each other is a priority at LTL. People studying here are usually from very different backgrounds but are all fascinated by China, want to learn Mandarin, and explore this amazing country. That is what makes making friends so easy and rewarding. For a language holiday China offers a wide range of entertainment and we welcome you to be part of our little version of the United Nations in China\'s capital.\r\n\r\n<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://new.livethelanguage.cn/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/fans-small-150x150.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3577" alt="Beijing Guo An" src="http://new.livethelanguage.cn/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/fans-small-150x150.jpg" width="150" height="150" /></a>The LIGAF</span></strong>\r\n\r\nAs true Beijingers we of course support our local football team, Beijing Guo An. The LTL International Beijing Guo An Football Fan Club (LIGAF) meets for all home games and joins 50,000 Chinese football fans for a night of football, learning Chinese swearwords for the referee and other people we do not like, as well as singing not always 100% politically correct songs to support our team.

It is similar to WhatsApp, though it also has elements of other social media and a unique "look around" function to make new friends.\r\n\r\nThe first thing all LTL students do is join our LTL WeChat group, best even a week before arriving in Beijing. This is where you have the contacts of all other LTL students and a great place to meet other students whom you have not met yet at the school. It is also where everyone plans weekend trips, dinners and sightseeing tours together, as well as share pictures and stories. Try downloading the application before coming to China, if there are any problems do not worry however, we show all our new students on the first day how to join.\r\n\r\nGroups in WeChat are private and our group is only accessible to current or past LTL students.

I already met the first people during the welcome breakfast on the first day of school. During the school Beijing duck dinner and the lunches on campus I started to meet people outside my class and made a lot of new friends from all over the world. On my first weekend I went out clubbing with a group of fellow students on Friday, spent Saturday at the Summer Palace with them and then Sunday in the Forbidden City with another LTL student. I found the LTL student community extremely friendly and open to new arrivals, I had a wonderful time and made friends with a lot of very interesting people, whom I will miss a lot.\r\n\r\n<strong>- Sabrina, Germany</strong>\r\n\r\n<em>Four weeks <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/learn-chinese-beijing/group-classes/">small group &amp; individual</a>, <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/learn-chinese-beijing/beijing-homestay/">homestay</a>, and <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/learn-chinese-beijing/service-kits/">survival kit</a></em>', 'Language Holiday in China', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '4543-autosave-v1', '', '', '2014-01-22 05:48:23', '2014-01-22 05:48:23', '', 4543, 'http://ltl-chinois.fr/4543-autosave-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

In addition to that, LTL offers Chinese immersion programs which I would have tried had I only had more time.\r\n\r\nOne month before arriving to Beijing, I started to study as much as possible. Work limited the amount of time available for studying, but still I was able to read and say basic expressions, with apparently a very weird accent once I got to China\r\n\r\nI took 1on1 individual classes (4 hours daily) for three weeks in Beijing since I wanted fast progress and a course tailored to my own interests.\r\n\r\nThe good thing about individual classes is that progress is much faster since you are forced to talk and focus most of the time, differently to group classes where you have the chance to take a break when other students are talking. In addition my classes were tailored exactly to what I wanted to learn, which I enjoyed a lot. For my case, my main focus was on conversations and vocabulary required to survive during my planned travels. The downside (or the upside?) of 1-on-1 classes is that you have to be focused all the time, are fully dedicated, and should prepare for each class beforehand. I found the quality of teaching at LTL excellent and my teachers very friendly. The 1on1 classes benefited me a lot in noticing the errors I used to have in pronunciation and in tones, and working more and more to correct them. Also, even though I of course had no classmates in my 1on1 class, I met a lot of other students during breaks, after classes or during activities organized by LTL.\r\n\r\nOne important thing to know before taking 1on1 classes is to know what you are expecting in and from these classes so they can be planned in a way that fits you. Outside the class, try as much as possible to use whatever you learned with native Chinese people - I found my homestay family very helpful in that regard.\r\n\r\nAfter about a week, I was having basic conversations and at some points was able to impress native Chinese by saying not-so-easy phrases. After another week, I was able to check train tickets online on only-Chinese websites, and to buy these tickets from the ticket vendor. I struggled a bit at the beginning, but it did work.\r\n\r\nAfter three weeks of classes, I went on a 6-day trip to two other cities and back to Beijing, climbed two of China’s five sacred mountains, camped and slept there, slept once on a train, missed a train and had to negotiate to refund and buy another ticket, met and befriended lots of Chinese, and took LOTs of pictures with locals as well as foreigners (wài guó rén  –外国人-you will hear this a lot).\r\n\r\nTwo weeks after returning to Lebanon, I am trying to keep up with my Mandarin by practicing with any Chinese person I meet here - I do miss China and LTL a lot.\r\n\r\n<strong>- Mohamed,</strong> Lebanon\r\n\r\nthree weeks <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/learn-chinese-beijing/individual-chinese-classes/">standard individual</a>, <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/learn-chinese-beijing/service-kits/">survival kit</a> and <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/traveling-to-china/chinese-homestay/">Chinese homestay</a>', '1on1 Classes and Traveling through China', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', '1on1-classes-traveling-china', '', '', '2013-09-30 06:20:20', '2013-09-30 06:20:20', '', 0, 'http://ltl-chinois.fr/?p=5855', 0, 'post', '', 0) ;

Learning just a little bit can open lots of doors and get you lots of appreciation and respect, but still getting to an advanced level requires lots of time and effort and dedication (as you probably already know).\r\n\r\nI am a language fanatic. I love learning and exploring languages, without necessarily reaching an advanced level. Knowing that, Chinese language must have been the next language at some point.\r\n\r\nBefore coming to China to study at LTL, few years ago, I heard a lot that Chinese is a very difficult language and is almost impossible to learn due to having “thousands of letters” (which is a misunderstanding of the language), so it was intriguing to read a bit about this scary language. Just reading a little bit about the logic behind character writing and formation made the language much less frightening and actually more logical than other languages; however I did not continue serious study because I did not need it or feel I want to pursue it at that time.\r\n\r\nDeciding to later on pursue Chinese Mandarin, I started looking for schools to study for a short duration (limited time because of work), and LTL was the best choice as it is located in Beijing and because it offers homestay residence which helps a lot in advancing faster as I found from a previous experience. In addition to that, LTL offers a two-city combo which I would have tried had I had more time.\r\n\r\nOne month before arriving to Beijing, I started to study as much as possible. Working limited the amount of study, but still I was able to read and say basic expressions, with apparently a very weird accent J\r\n\r\nI had a one month visa, and my ultimate goal from learning Chinese at this stage was to be able to travel to other cities during the last week on my own. So, I took 1on1 individual classes (4 hours daily) for three weeks since the progress had to be fast and tailored to my own interests, and still not too intensive and tiring (in the case of 6-hour daily intensive course).\r\n\r\nThe good thing about individual classes is that progress is much faster since you are forced to talk and focus most of the time (as compared to group classes where you have the chance to be relieved when other students are talking). In addition, it can be customized to what you want to focus on. For my case, lots of focus was on conversations and vocabulary required to survive during my intended travel. The downside (or the upside?) is that you have to be focused all the time, to show much dedication, and to prepare enough before class if possible. The teachers are excellent and friendly, and even though you will not get to know other students in the classes, you will be able to meet other students during breaks or after classes or during activities organized by LTL.\r\n\r\nThe 1on1 classes benefited me a lot in noticing the errors I used to have in pronunciation and in tones, and working more and more to correct them.\r\n\r\nOne important thing to know before taking 1on1 classes is to know what you are expecting in and from these classes, and also to have at least a basic background before entering the class. Outside the class, try as much as possible to use whatever you learned with native Chinese people, in this case, the homestay family will be very helpful.\r\n\r\nIn my case, after around one week, I was having basic conversations and at some points impressing native Chinese by saying not-so-easy phrases. After another week, I was able to check train tickets online on only-Chinese websites, and to buy these tickets from ticket-selling stands (with some struggling).\r\n\r\nAfter three weeks of classes, I had a 6-day successful trip to two other cities and back to Beijing, climbed two of China’s five sacred mountains and camped and slept there, slept once on a train, missed a train and had to negotiate to refund and buy another ticket, met and befriended lots of Chinese, and took LOTs of pictures with locals as a foreigner (wài guó rén  –外国人-you will hear this a lot) J\r\n\r\nTwo weeks after returning to Lebanon, I had one conversation with Chinese people in front of my Lebanese friends.

Before the student comes to China LTL organizes a Skype interview to understand each student\'s current Chinese level, strengths and weaknesses, as well as the specific areas we should focus on. Based on this, our Director of Studies then chooses the teaching team that fit the student\'s needs best, creates a personalized study program, and prepares the individual study materials relevant for the course, which might be one or several textbooks, newspapers, online texts or additional materials created for each student.\r\n\r\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=30 margin_bottom=30]\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IMG_0959.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5941" alt="Mandarin homework" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IMG_0959-224x300.jpg" width="224" height="300" /></a></strong></span>\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The Students\r\n</strong></span>\r\n\r\nIndividual Chinese classes are a great way to make sure that everything taught is relevant to what the student wants to learn. The teacher can focus exclusively on the areas that student needs to improve in. Especially for someone who struggles with tones or pronunciation an individual course is a great option to quickly improve, as the teacher can pay full attention to one student\'s pronunciation without having to worry about other classmates. Also, if someone wants to improve in a specific area, like spoken or business Chinese, a tailored individual course might be the best choice. The same goes for students who feel they have a too big gap between their spoken and written Chinese abilities they want to close.\r\n\r\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=30 margin_bottom=30]\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Options available</strong></span>\r\n\r\nThere two individual class options to choose from are, the 20 hours per week standard individual and the 30 hours per week intensive individual program. The intensive individual program is the fastest way of getting ahead, with six hours of class per day which allows us to focus on several different areas at the same time and it is with this program that student\'s progress the fastest. The standard individual program allows for more free time and self study, as well as the opportunity to explore Shanghai. Please note that an individual class at LTL lasts a full 60 minutes.\r\n\r\nAnother option is to combine an individual course with a small group course.

The standard individual program allows for more free time and self study, as well as the opportunity to explore Shanghai. Please note that an individual class at LTL lasts a full 60 minutes.\r\n\r\nAnother option is to combine an individual course with a small group course.

A small group is a great way to quickly meet other people, as well as sharing the experience of studying Mandarin together. LTL is a family style school and we do not believe into mass production. For that reason we keep groups small, with an average of three and a maximum of six students per group, which means that everyone gets to speak and practice during class, as well giving the teacher enough time to pay attention to individual student\'s problems and interests.\r\n\r\nLTL group classes in Shanghai are offered at five different levels (A1, A1+, A2, A2+ and B1) and follow the LTL rapid progress curriculum. For students who feel they have deficits in specific areas like tones, Chinese characters, pronunciation etc. the <strong>Small Group &amp; Individual</strong> program allows them to combine standard small group classes with 1-on-1 classes. Students follow the LTL curriculum during the group classes, but for the 1-on-1 classes we will create a personalized study plan for each student to help him or her in the areas you need to improve most in. In our experience 1-on-1 classes are especially helpful for improving tones and pronunciation as the teacher can fully focus on one student, correct mistakes and teach how to do it correctly, as well as for students who\'s spoken and written Chinese are not at the same level and want to close that gap.\r\n<h2>Course overview</h2>\r\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=0 margin_bottom=0]\r\n<table border="2">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th rowspan="2">Weekly Courses- all year round</th>\r\n<th colspan="3">Course Content (hrs/week)</th>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Small Group</th>\r\n<th>1-on-1 Classes</th>\r\n<th>Course Starts</th>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Small Group</th>\r\n<td>20</td>\r\n<td>N/A</td>\r\n<td>On Small Group Class Starting Dates</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Small Group &amp; Individual</th>\r\n<td>20</td>\r\n<td>10</td>\r\n<td>On Small Group Class Starting Dates</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n[list type=bullets-blue ]\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong>Small Group - </strong>Intensive Chinese Group Classes in Shanghai,<strong> </strong>Maximum 6 students</li>\r\n	<li><strong>1-on-1 - </strong>60 minutes individual Chinese education per class at <strong>LTL</strong>, your home or preferred downtown location</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Flexible</strong> - choose how long you want to study for, just a week or up to a whole year, you decide.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/list]\r\n\r\n[hr style=double-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\r\n\r\nFor more detailed information, [button color=red url=http://ltl-chinois.fr/contact-us/ target=blank]Contact us[/button]\r\n\r\n&nbsp;', 'Program', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '5958-revision-v1', '', '', '2013-10-21 02:09:24', '2013-10-21 02:09:24', '', 5958, 'http://ltl-chinois.fr/5958-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

Based on this, our Director of Studies then chooses the teaching team that fit the student\'s needs best, creates a personalized study program, and prepares the individual study materials relevant for the course, which might be one or several textbooks, newspapers, online texts or additional materials created for each student.\r\n\r\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=30 margin_bottom=30]\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IMG_0959.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5941" alt="Mandarin homework" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IMG_0959-224x300.jpg" width="224" height="300" /></a>Whom it is for</strong></span>\r\n\r\nIndividual Chinese classes are a great way to make sure that everything taught is relevant to what the student wants to learn. The teacher can focuse exclusively on the areas that student needs to improve in. Especially for someone who struggles with tones or pronunciation an individual course is a great option to quickly improve, as the teacher can pay full attention to one student\'s pronunciation without having to worry about other classmates. Also, if someone wants to improve in a specific area, like spoken or business Chinese, a tailored individual course might be the best choice. The same goes for students who feel they have a too big gap between their spoken and written Chinese abilities they want to close.\r\n\r\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=30 margin_bottom=30]\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>The Options available</strong></span>\r\n\r\nThere two individual class options to choose from are, the 20 hours per week standard individual and the 30 hours per week intensive individual program. The intensive individual program is the fastest way of getting ahead, with six hours of class per day which allows us to focus on several different areas at the same time and it is with this program that student\'s progress the fastest. The standard individual program allows for more free time and self study, as well as the opportunity to explore Shanghai. Please note that an individual class at LTL lasts a full 60 minutes.\r\n\r\nAnother option is to combine an individual course with a small group course. This small group &amp; indvidual course combines 20 hours of small group class with 10 hours of 1-on-1 class per week. Which means that while during the small group classes the course students will follow the LTL curriculum, during the individual classes students can focus on areas they want to improve in or for example just work on their tones.\r\n<h2>Course overview</h2>\r\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=0 margin_bottom=20]\r\n<table border="2">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th rowspan="2">Individual Chinese Classes in Shanghai</th>\r\n<th colspan="4">Course Content (hrs/week)</th>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Small Group</th>\r\n<th>1-on-1 Classes</th>\r\n<th>Starting Dates</th>\r\n<th>Duration</th>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Standard Individual</th>\r\n<td>N/A</td>\r\n<td>20</td>\r\n<td>Start any Monday of the Year</td>\r\n<td>from 1 to 52 weeks</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Intensive Individual</th>\r\n<td>N/A</td>\r\n<td>30</td>\r\n<td>Start any Monday of the Year</td>\r\n<td>from 1 to 52 weeks</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Small Group &amp; Individual</th>\r\n<td>20</td>\r\n<td>10</td>\r\n<td>Start on Small Group Class starting dates</td>\r\n<td>from 1 to 24 weeks</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n[list type=bullets-blue ]\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong><strong>1-on-1 </strong></strong>- 60 minutes per class at the LTL Shanghai school, your home or local coffee shop</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Small Group - </strong>Maximum 6 students, 55 minutes per class</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Includes</strong> personalized study plan</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/list]\r\n\r\n[hr style=double-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\r\n\r\nFor more detailed information, [button color=red url=http://ltl-chinois.fr/contact-us/ target=blank]Contact us[/button]', 'Program', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '5932-revision-v1', '', '', '2013-10-20 07:47:16', '2013-10-20 07:47:16', '', 5932, 'http://ltl-chinois.fr/5932-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

Which means that while during the small group classes the course students will follow the LTL curriculum, during the individual classes students can focus on areas they want to improve in or for example just work on their tones.\r\n<h2>Course overview</h2>\r\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=0 margin_bottom=20]\r\n<table border="2">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th rowspan="2">Individual Chinese Classes in Shanghai</th>\r\n<th colspan="4">Course Content (hrs/week)</th>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Small Group</th>\r\n<th>1-on-1 Classes</th>\r\n<th>Starting Dates Shanghai</th>\r\n<th>Duration</th>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Standard Individual</th>\r\n<td>N/A</td>\r\n<td>20</td>\r\n<td>Start any Monday of the Year</td>\r\n<td>from 1 to 52 weeks</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Intensive Individual</th>\r\n<td>N/A</td>\r\n<td>30</td>\r\n<td>Start any Monday of the Year</td>\r\n<td>from 1 to 52 weeks</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Small Group &amp; Individual</th>\r\n<td>20</td>\r\n<td>10</td>\r\n<td>Start on Small Group Class starting dates</td>\r\n<td>from 1 to 24 weeks</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\n[list type=bullets-blue ]\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><strong><strong>1-on-1 </strong></strong>- 60 minutes per class at the LTL Shanghai school, your home or local coffee shop</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Small Group - </strong>Maximum 6 students, 55 minutes per class</li>\r\n	<li><strong>Includes</strong> personalized study plan</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/list]\r\n\r\n[hr style=double-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\r\n\r\nFor more detailed information [button color=red url=http://ltl-chinois.fr/contact-us/ target=blank]contact us[/button]', 'Program', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '5932-revision-v1', '', '', '2013-10-20 07:50:20', '2013-10-20 07:50:20', '', 5932, 'http://ltl-chinois.fr/5932-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;
