To live with a Chinese family during the holidays is an amazing experience, and will usually include a lot of food, family dinners, and fireworks. Many - though not all - LTL live &amp; teach homestay families welcome students to stay with them throughout Chinese New Year.

If you want to stay with a live &amp; teach homestay over Chinese New Year, please make sure you book early as usually our host families are fully booked during that time of the year. It might be necessary to switch to a standard homestay during that period though, as many families during that time want to celebrate, not study Chinese.

This was my first time in China, so I was happy that the school helped out with many little things: they found accommodation for me, picked me up from the airport, provided a SIM card and a subway card. I stayed with a Chinese family who were very patient with my speaking Chinese, this really helped speeding up the language learning and getting to know the culture.” - Susanne Pielawa (PhD Candidate, Harvard University)\n\nShared Apartment\nWhether after a homestay or for your entire stay, LTL also provides the option of a shared apartment. Students are placed in a single room. Depending on preference and availability, the apartment may be shared with other foreign students or local residents. Apartments are conveniently located for traveling to the school (four subway stops) and offer the opportunity to make new friends in Beijing.\n\nOptions\n\nCBD Room, with shared bathroom and kitchen\nLarge Room, with balcony and private bathroom\nSmall Room, with window and shared bathroom\nEconomy Room, no window and shared bathroom\n\nShared apartments are furnished with a single bedroom per person and include internet and all bills.

There are three main options you have:\n\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\n\n<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/exchange-money.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3427" title="exchange money" alt="" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/exchange-money-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>Use Your Cash Card</span>\n\nIn our experience this is the easiest and cheapest way of withdrawing money in China, especially as the exchange rate used is usually better than what you would get if you exchanged cash. Bank fees vary, but usually are charged per transaction, so it is cheaper to withdraw larger amounts with fewer transactions. As LTL is based in the Central Business District, there are plenty of ATMs within walking distance. They all accept major credit and cash cards.\n\nMost ATMs in China will let you withdraw up to 20,000 RMB per day and 3,000 RMB per transaction. Everbright Bank, in the same building as LTL, has two ATMs that let you withdraw up to 5,000 RMB per transaction, which can reduce bank charges.\n\n<strong>Note:</strong> Check your withdrawal limits with your home bank before you come to China. If this is set at a low limit, you will have to do more transactions to get to your money, which both costs time and increases bank charges.\n\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\n\n<span style="font-size: large;">Exchange Cash</span>\n\nMost major currencies can easily be exchanged into RMB at any bank. The rates are set by the Bank of China and therefore all the same, so it does not matter where you exchange it. Non-Chinese citizens can exchange up to 50,000 USD per calendar year.\n\n<strong>Note:</strong> If you think you’ll possibly want to exchange money back before you leave, keep the exchange receipts, as you might be required to show them when exchanging RMB into foreign currency.\n\n<strong>Note:</strong> Private money changers exist in China and can exchange money too, however this is not legal. They do so for just a marginally better rate and are not worth the risk.\n\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\n\n<span style="font-size: large;">Bank Transfer</span>\n\nYou can open a bank account once in China to which you can transfer USD, Euro, Swiss Francs, HKD, AUD and Japanese Yen and then exchange them at the bank into RMB. To open a bank account, you just need to take your passport to the bank, fill out the relevant forms and the account will become active the same day. More than a dozen different banks have branches in the Sunshine 100 and neighbouring areas. We use Everbright Bank and find them quite helpful, but any of them can open a Chinese bank account for you without problems. While you might have to wait at any of them, the Bank of China has a reputation for especially long waiting times.\n\n<strong>Note:</strong> It takes about three days for money from foreign countries to arrive in China.\n\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\n\n<span style="font-size: large;">List of Banks close to LTL</span>\n\nThese are all in the same or a neighboring building, and all have ATM facilities:\n\n[list type=bullets-blue ]\n<ul>\n	<li><a title="Everbright Bank" href="http://www.cebbank.com/Channel/90969" target="_blank">Everbright Bank</a></li>\n	<li><a title="China Construction Bank" href="http://www.ccb.com/en/home/index.html" target="_blank">China Construction Bank</a></li>\n	<li><a title="China Communication Bank" href="http://www.bankcomm.com/BankCommSite/en/index.jsp" target="_blank">China Communication Bank</a></li>\n	<li><a title="Shenzhen Development Bank" href="http://www.sdb.com.cn/website/page/files/wcms/SDB/primary/en/InvestorRelations" target="_blank">Shenzhen Development Bank</a></li>\n	<li><a title="China Agricultural Bank" href="http://www.abchina.com/en/" target="_blank">China Agricultural Bank</a></li>\n	<li><a title="Bank of China" href="http://www.boc.cn/en/index.html" target="_blank">Bank of China</a></li>\n</ul>\n[/list]', 'Exchange Money in China', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '2134-autosave', '', '', '2012-12-30 04:18:09', '2012-12-30 04:18:09', '', 2134, 'http://new.livethelanguage.cn/2134-autosave/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

Beijing.  My favorite parts were exploring the wild wall the first day and eating the amazing dinner that night.\r\n\r\nI really appreciated staying in a place far from tourists, and loved that after we started hiking up the mountain, we didn’t see any other tourists.  I had so much fun exploring the great wall, and was glad that we were able to take a different route down.   I wish I had had even more time to explore the wall.  One suggestion: start out a little earlier in the day, ask the hotel people to pack a lunch, and then carry it up the mountain and eat on the great wall.   Picnics are fun.\r\n\r\nAs for the food, I just loved the dinner we had (and the breakfast was simple but tasty).  I really liked that we were eating vegetables grown very close by.  I also liked how vegetable-heavy the meal was.  The lunch on the first day was good, but didn’t stand out to me.  I did really enjoy getting to gut a fish, and watching the man butcher the rabbit was a unique and interesting experience.  He, along with everyone we met on the trip, was friendly and accommodating.\r\n\r\nWhile I didn’t enjoy the great wall the second day quite as much as I did the first day (mostly because of the tourists), I’m still very glad we went.  It was nice to see what the wall was like when it was whole.  And, I went into the wild, non-tourist sections again so I got to explore the wild wall some more.  Ellen was absolutely right to have us get up early to beat the crowds.  When I was coming down, I noticed how many people were around.  I do wish I could have had an hour or two more there since two hours felt a little rushed.  Also, we passed a pick your own fruit orchard.  I would have enjoyed stopping there briefly, but I don’t feel strongly about this.\r\n\r\nEllen was a fantastic trip leader.  She hiked up the mountain even though it was an arduous trip, and she was very patient when we wanted more time to explore.  She asked us our preferences and was flexible when we suggested a change of plans.  The trip was very well planned and ran smoothly.  I would recommend this trip to anyone.  I had a wonderful time and am so glad I got to experience the great wall in this way!\r\n\r\n[This review was contributed by LTL student Eleanor.]\r\n\r\n[/toggle][hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\r\n\r\n<strong><span style="font-size: x-large;"><a

It’s not too far down the alley.\n\n<strong>Food:</strong>  This place wins for best-tasting food.  If you are looking for high quality food without a lot of meat substitute, this is the place to go.  There was kale salad, pizza made with squash, and many other delicious things that I could not stop eating.  The day I went, I hadn’t eaten much and I was so glad I had enough room to fill up here.  There is wine and beer available as well.\n\n<strong>Other:</strong>  This is a pricier place (probably you will pay at least 60<strong>元 </strong>for a decent meal) but it is worth it.  It is adorable inside, with some tables that have couches to sit on.\n\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\n\n<strong><span style="font-size: large;">4)  Xu Xiang Zhai Vegetarian Restaurant</span></strong>\n\n<strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3486" title="China-Beach-217-300x225" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/China-Beach-217-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></strong><strong></strong><strong>Location:</strong>  I was wandering around by the Lama Temple on my last day in Beijing and thought about going back to Veggie Table, but instead just stumbled on this place.  All you have to do to find it is go south a few blocks from the intersection of Yonghugong  Street and WuDaoYing Hutong, look for the gate shown in the picture (I couldn’t find a name for this hutong), and go down the alley a short ways.  It is big and not easy to miss.\n\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=5 margin_bottom=5]\n\n<strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-3488" title="China-Beach-220-300x225" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/China-Beach-220-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" />Food: </strong>Go there when you are hungry and get the buffet. For 88<strong>元</strong> you can get an all-you-can-eat buffet, which is nothing short of amazing.  There is a salad bar, dessert bar, and variety of soups and breads.  The highlight is a ridiculous variety of dishes made with every kind of mock-fish, chicken, and other meat that you will not be able to taste them all before you burst.  Dishes are labled as to whether or not they have eggs and dairy (most do not).  I had vegan dessert (several, actually) and sampled all the fish dishes that I wanted to try.  It was spectacular.[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=5 margin_bottom=5]\n\n<img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-3488 alignleft" title="China-Beach-220-300x225" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/China-Beach-220-300x225-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />\n\n<strong>Other:</strong>  Vegetarians and vegans should not miss this place.\n\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\n\n<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Things I found helpful:</strong></span>  I found a bunch of vegetarian restaurants online (like at happycow.net) and tried to venture out and find them.  This had mixed success.  Some of them had been closed, and some were so difficult to find that I never found them.  Other people may have more success than I did.

Learn how to shop not by studying a textbook, but by going out and shopping. With Beijing Safari the best place to learn how to buy a subway card is not a classroom, but a subway station; how to understand a menu, a restaurant. You will be at all times accompanied by a certified Mandarin Teacher who not only knows where to go, but also the vocabulary you will need when you get there. The instructor will teach you necessary words in advance, take you to places where you can engage in conversations and then listen to you while you have them. Your teacher will help if necessary, but more importantly give you feedback on the spot. During your “cool down” session the teacher will also give you a detailed explanation about additional sentences that could have been used and what the words meant you did not understand.\r\n\r\n<strong>How a session works:</strong>\r\n\r\n1) First you “warm up” with your teacher, who will explain which situations will be practiced today and go through the vocabulary and sentence patterns needed.\r\n\r\n2) The Safari starts, from buying blue trousers with a pair of socks at a shop to discussing rental prices with a property agent, according to your Mandarin level, increasing in complexity of vocabulary and sentence patterns used with each session. Live the Language has twenty different Safari Trips pre-prepared for you.\r\n\r\n3) During your “cool down” session, your teacher reviews with you the additional vocabulary that has been learned and when, how and why misunderstandings might have occurred.\r\n\r\n<strong>Course information:[list type=check ]</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Beijing Safari is a beginner course, best suited to level A1</li>\r\n	<li>Beijing Safari is only available in Beijing</li>\r\n	<li>Course includes 10 hr/wk of specialized 1-on-1 Chinese classes</li>\r\n	<li>Maximum length of the course is 2 weeks</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>[/list]</strong>\r\n\r\nBeijing Safari is a 1-on-1 course upgrade.

Learn how to shop not by studying a textbook, but by going out and shopping. With Beijing Safari the best place to learn how to buy a subway card is not a classroom, but a subway station; how to understand a menu, a restaurant. You will be at all times accompanied by a certified Mandarin Teacher who not only knows where to go, but also the vocabulary you will need when you get there. The instructor will teach you necessary words in advance, take you to places where you can engage in conversations and then listen to you while you have them. Your teacher will help if necessary, but more importantly give you feedback on the spot. During your “cool down” session the teacher will also give you a detailed explanation about additional sentences that could have been used and what the words meant you did not understand.\r\n\r\n<strong>How a session works:</strong>\r\n\r\n1) First you “warm up” with your teacher, who will explain which situations will be practiced today and go through the vocabulary and sentence patterns needed.\r\n\r\n2) The Safari starts, from buying blue trousers with a pair of socks at a shop to discussing rental prices with a property agent, according to your Mandarin level, increasing in complexity of vocabulary and sentence patterns used with each session. Live the Language has twenty different Safari Trips pre-prepared for you.\r\n\r\n3) During your “cool down” session, your teacher reviews with you the additional vocabulary that has been learned and when, how and why misunderstandings might have occurred.\r\n\r\n<strong>Course information:[list type=check ]</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Beijing Safari is a beginner course, best suited to level A1</li>\r\n	<li>Beijing Safari is only available in Beijing</li>\r\n	<li>Course includes 10 hr/wk of specialized 1-on-1 Chinese classes</li>\r\n	<li>Maximum length of the course is 2 weeks</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>[/list]</strong>\r\n\r\nBeijing Safari is a 1-on-1 course upgrade.

Let LtL help you surpass this plateau with the Complete Immersion Chengde Program.\r\n\r\nBanish English from your life as you communicate solely in Mandarin all day, every day, guaranteed. Staying with an LtL-approved local Chinese family in an international standard apartment, you will have two hours of Mandarin class each day, plus two hours of Tai Qi or Chinese Music (Gu Zheng).\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nMandarin will be your exclusive daily mode of communication, whether discovering the old Imperial Summer Residence and Temples of Chengde, making dinner with your host family or having drinks after class. This is the best way to fully develop your language skills and use what you have learned.\r\n\r\nDuring your trip you will also discover why Chengde was called 避暑山庄 (“avoiding the heat mountain villa”) and why the Kangxi Emperor spent the hottest months there instead of the Forbidden City.\r\n\r\nWith the full Chengde Survival Kit, LtL not only helps you to get there and back, but we will have your bicycle and local SIM card waiting for you upon arrival. Your family will pick you up from the station and show you their home town, all with LtL support available if needed.\r\n\r\nComplete Immersion Chengde is also available as a weekend program, perfect for working professionals.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong><span style="font-size: medium;">CHENGDE AND SKI?</span></strong>', 'Overview', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '2644-revision-v1', '', '', '2012-11-01 02:56:55', '2012-11-01 02:56:55', '', 2644, 'http://new.livethelanguage.cn/2644-revision-2/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

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.

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.

Learn how to shop not by studying a textbook, but by going out and shopping. With Beijing Safari the best place to learn how to buy a subway card is not a classroom, but a subway station; how to understand a menu, a restaurant. You will be at all times accompanied by a certified Mandarin Teacher who not only knows where to go, but also the vocabulary you will need when you get there. The instructor will teach you necessary words in advance, take you to places where you can engage in conversations and then listen to you while you have them. Your teacher will help if necessary, but more importantly give you feedback on the spot. During your “cool down” session the teacher will also give you a detailed explanation about additional sentences that could have been used and what the words meant you did not understand.\r\n\r\n<strong>How a session works:</strong>\r\n\r\n1) First you “warm up” with your teacher, who will explain which situations will be practiced today and go through the vocabulary and sentence patterns needed.\r\n\r\n2) The Safari starts, from buying blue trousers with a pair of socks at a shop to discussing rental prices with a property agent, according to your Mandarin level, increasing in complexity of vocabulary and sentence patterns used with each session. Live the Language has twenty different Safari Trips pre-prepared for you.\r\n\r\n3) During your “cool down” session, your teacher reviews with you the additional vocabulary that has been learned and when, how and why misunderstandings might have occurred.\r\n\r\n<strong>Course information:[list type=check ]</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Beijing Safari is a beginner course, best suited to level A1</li>\r\n	<li>Beijing Safari is only available in Beijing</li>\r\n	<li>Course includes 10 hr/wk of specialized 1-on-1 Chinese classes</li>\r\n	<li>Maximum length of the course is 2 weeks</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>[/list]</strong>\r\n\r\nBeijing Safari is a 1-on-1 course upgrade.
