If you prefer to fully focus on your studies, the choice is yours, but the option to join is always available.\r\n\r\n<strong><span style="font-size: large;">LTL Students</span></strong>\r\n\r\nOur students come from all over the world to Beijing to study Chinese, learn more about Chinese culture, and discover this fascinating country together. 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 tour</a>s 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 up to each student to decide which activities to participate in or whether to get involved in the school social life at all. If you prefer to fully focus on your studies, the choice is yours, but the option to join is always available.\r\n\r\n<strong><span style="font-size: large;">LTL Students</span></strong>\r\n\r\nOur students come from all over the world to Beijing to study Chinese, learn more about Chinese culture, and discover this fascinating country together. 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.

Also for students who want to improve in specific areas, like tones, pronunciation, Chinese characters, spoken or business Chinese. <strong style="font-size: small; text-align: right;"><strong>[button color=blue url=http://ltl-chinois.fr/learn-chinese-in-shanghai/individual-chinese-classes-shanghai/ target=blank]read more[/button]</strong></strong>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[hr style=double-line margin_top=0px margin_bottom=0px]\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/multi-city-mandarin-programs/"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6199" title="school break" alt="lunch break" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00351-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/multi-city-mandarin-programs/" target="_blank"><strong>Multi-City Programs</strong></a></span>\r\n\r\n[list type=check ]\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Study Chinese in different cities</li>\r\n	<li>Combine courses in Shanghai, Beijing &amp; Chengde</li>\r\n	<li>Continuity: same Chinese program different cities</li>\r\n	<li>Total immersion options in Chengde</li>\r\n	<li>Experience different parts of China, while learning Mandarin</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n[/list]\r\n\r\n[hr style=dotted-line margin_top=20 margin_bottom=20]\r\n\r\nLearn Chinese not only in Shanghai, but also other Chinese cities.

INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (6560, 10, '2014-01-20 14:26:38', '2014-01-20 14:26:38', 'Learning Chinese in Shanghai is so much more than just studying a language. It means living in one of the world\'s greatest cities, experiencing Chinese culture, cuisine and history, in what is a very unique city. Here some basic information about living in Shanghai.\n<h2><strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ShanghaiCityViewSmall.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5995" title="Shanghai city" alt="Shanghai Skyline" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ShanghaiCityViewSmall-300x199.jpg" width="300" height="199" /></a>Studying in Shanghai</strong></h2>\nThe native language in Shanghai is not Mandarin, but Shanghaihua, which is a different language. However, with Mandarin being taught in all Chinese schools from the age of six and millions of migrants living in Shanghai today, Mandarin is very widely spoken in Shanghai. When people in Shanghai speak Mandarin, they have an accent that differs a bit from standard Mandarin, which is based on the language spoken in Beijing. As Shanghai is a very cosmopolitan city, with people from all over the world living here, English is also widely spoken. To learn Mandarin in Shanghai quickly, we suggest that you speak Chinese whenever possible. If someone does not understand you, do not despair. Your Chinese tones might have been wrong or the other person might not be used to your foreign accent. Keep trying to say it in Mandarin and do not use English whenever possible. Learning Mandarin in Shanghai means speaking Chinese, living Chinese and dreaming Chinese. If you would rather study in a city where more standard Mandarin is spoken, check out our <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/learn-chinese-beijing/">Chinese programs in Beijing</a>. If you prefer a city with less English speakers, have a look at our <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/chinese-immersion-program/">Chinese immersion programs</a>.\n\n<strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00748.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5923" title="Student learning chinese at LTL Shanghai" alt="Shanghai School" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00748-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>Safety</strong>\n\nLike all of China, Shanghai is overall a very safe city. Of course in any city with 19 million inhabitants, crime exists, but especially violent crime in Shanghai is very rare. Should you ever get into trouble, call the police on +86 21 110 and LTL as soon as possible. In the whole history of LTL, during which thousands of students learned Chinese with us, there was not a single crime committed against one of our students. Overall studying in Shanghai and China in general is very safe.\n\n<strong>Phone Numbers\n</strong>\n\nThe country code for China is +86 and the area code for Shanghai is 021. When calling from abroad you leave the 0 away. As an example, the Shanghai tourism hotline is 962020. If you are in Shanghai you just dial that number. If you are in China, but not in Shanghai, you would dial 021 962020. If you are not in China, you would dial 0086 21 962020. Practicing your Chinese skills on the phone, is a great way to learn Mandarin.\n\n<strong>Addresses</strong>\n\nIn Shanghai addresses are you usually given as a street, the number and which junction they are close to. So for example a popular Shanghai restaurant like Hot Pot King - if you want to learn about adventurous Chinese food, try their pig brain hot pot - is on 1416 Huaihai Lu. In Shanghai when giving directions, you would say 1416 Huaihai Lu, near Fuxing Lu (in Chinese: 上海市淮海路1416号楼, 近复兴路 or in pinyin Shànghǎi shì huáihǎi lù 1416 hào lóu, jìn fùxīng lù), because roads in Shanghai are very long and it is important to know which part of the road you want to go to. To make sure to not get lost it is always good to take the places phone number (in this case 021 6473 6380) with you as well.\n<iframe src="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=de&amp;geocode=&amp;q=1416+Huaihai+Lu+shanghai&amp;aq=&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=47.885545,107.138672&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=1416+Huaihai+Lu+shanghai&amp;hnear=&amp;radius=15000&amp;t=m&amp;ll=31.210599,121.447849&amp;spn=0.044045,0.051498&amp;z=13&amp;output=embed" height="300" width="300" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>\n<small><a style="color: #0000ff; text-align: left;" href="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=embed&amp;hl=de&amp;geocode=&amp;q=1416+Huaihai+Lu+shanghai&amp;aq=&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=47.885545,107.138672&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=1416+Huaihai+Lu+shanghai&amp;hnear=&amp;radius=15000&amp;t=m&amp;ll=31.210599,121.447849&amp;spn=0.044045,0.051498&amp;z=13">enlarge</a></small>\n\n<strong>Overall</strong>\n\nShanghai is an amazing place to study, experience and learn about China.

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.

INSERT INTO `wp_posts` VALUES (6251, 2, '2013-11-12 18:15:43', '2013-11-12 18:15:43', 'Learning Chinese in Shanghai is so much more than just studying a language. It means living in one of the world\'s greatest cities, experiencing Chinese culture, cuisine and history, in what is a very unique city. Here some basic information about living in Shanghai.\n\n<strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ShanghaiCityViewSmall.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5995" alt="Shanghai Skyline" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/ShanghaiCityViewSmall-300x199.jpg" width="300" height="199" /></a>Studying in Shanghai</strong>\n\nThe native language in Shanghai is not Mandarin, but Shanghaihua, which is a different language. However, with Mandarin being taught in all Chinese schools from the age of six and millions of migrants living in Shanghai today, Mandarin is very widely spoken in Shanghai. When people in Shanghai speak Mandarin, they have an accent that differs a bit from standard Mandarin, which is based on the language spoken in Beijing. As Shanghai is a very cosmopolitan city, with people from all over the world living here, English is also widely spoken. To learn Mandarin in Shanghai quickly, we suggest that you speak Chinese whenever possible. If someone does not understand you, do not despair. Your Chinese tones might have been wrong or the other person might not be used to your foreign accent. Keep trying to say it in Mandarin and do not use English whenever possible. Learning Mandarin in Shanghai means speaking Chinese, living Chinese and dreaming Chinese. If you would rather study in a city where more standard Mandarin is spoken, check out our <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/learn-chinese-beijing/">Chinese programs in Beijing</a>. If you prefer a city with less English speakers, have a look at our <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/chinese-immersion-program/">Chinese immersion programs</a>.\n\n<strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00748.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5923" alt="Shanghai School" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00748-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>Safety</strong>\n\nLike all of China, Shanghai is overall a very safe city. Of course in any city with 19 million inhabitants, crime exists, but especially violent crime in Shanghai is very rare. Should you ever get into trouble, call the police on +86 21 110 and LTL as soon as possible. In the whole history of LTL, during which thousands of students learned Chinese with us, there was not a single crime committed against one of our students. Overall studying in Shanghai and China in general is very safe.\n\n<strong>Phone Numbers\n</strong>\n\nThe country code for China is +86 and the area code for Shanghai is 021. When calling from abroad you leave the 0 away. As an example, the Shanghai tourism hotline is 962020. If you are in Shanghai you just dial that number. If you are in China, but not in Shanghai, you would dial 021 962020. If you are not in China, you would dial 0086 21 962020. Practicing your Chinese skills on the phone, is a great way to learn Mandarin.\n\n<strong>Addresses</strong>\n\nIn Shanghai addresses are you usually given as a street, the number and which junction they are close to. So for example a popular Shanghai restaurant like Hot Pot King - if you want to learn about adventurous Chinese food, try their pig brain hot pot - is on 1416 Huaihai Lu. In Shanghai when giving directions, you would say 1416 Huaihai Lu, near Fuxing Lu (in Chinese: 上海市淮海路1416号楼, 近复兴路 or in pinyin Shànghǎi shì huáihǎi lù 1416 hào lóu, jìn fùxīng lù), because roads in Shanghai are very long and it is important to know which part of the road you want to go to. To make sure to not get lost it is always good to take the places phone number (in this case 021 6473 6380) with you as well.\n<iframe src="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=de&amp;geocode=&amp;q=1416+Huaihai+Lu+shanghai&amp;aq=&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=47.885545,107.138672&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=1416+Huaihai+Lu+shanghai&amp;hnear=&amp;radius=15000&amp;t=m&amp;ll=31.210599,121.447849&amp;spn=0.044045,0.051498&amp;z=13&amp;output=embed" height="300" width="300" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>\n<small><a style="color: #0000ff; text-align: left;" href="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=embed&amp;hl=de&amp;geocode=&amp;q=1416+Huaihai+Lu+shanghai&amp;aq=&amp;sll=37.0625,-95.677068&amp;sspn=47.885545,107.138672&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=1416+Huaihai+Lu+shanghai&amp;hnear=&amp;radius=15000&amp;t=m&amp;ll=31.210599,121.447849&amp;spn=0.044045,0.051498&amp;z=13">enlarge</a></small>\n\n<strong>Overall</strong>\n\nShanghai is an amazing place to study, experience and learn about China.

However, with Mandarin being taught in all Chinese schools from the age of six and millions of migrants living in Shanghai today, Mandarin is very widely spoken in Shanghai. When people in Shanghai speak Mandarin, they have an accent that differs a bit from standard Mandarin, which is based on the language spoken in Beijing. As Shanghai is a very cosmopolitan city, with people from all over the world living here, English is also widely spoken. To learn Mandarin in Shanghai quickly, we suggest that you speak Chinese whenever possible. If someone does not understand you, do not despair. Your Chinese tones might have been wrong or the other person might not be used to your foreign accent. Keep trying to say it in Mandarin and do not use English whenever possible. Learning Mandarin in Shanghai means speaking Chinese, living Chinese and dreaming Chinese. If you would rather study in a city where more standard Mandarin is spoken, check out our <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/learn-chinese-beijing/">Chinese programs in Beijing</a>. If you prefer a city with less English speakers, have a look at our <a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/chinese-immersion-program/">Chinese immersion programs</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00748.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-5923" alt="Shanghai School" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00748-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>Safety</strong>\r\n\r\nLike all of China, Shanghai is overall a very safe city. Of course in any city with 19 million inhabitants, crime exists, but especially violent crime in Shanghai is very rare. Should you ever get into trouble, call the police on +86 21 110 and LTL as soon as possible. In the whole history of LTL, during which thousands of students learned Chinese with us, there was not a single crime committed against one of our students. So it is not something you should worry about too much.\r\n\r\n<strong>Phones</strong>\r\n\r\nThe country code for China ia +86 and the area code for Shanghai is 021. When calling from abroad you leave the 0 away. As an example, the Shanghai tourism hotline is 962020. If you are in Shanghai you just dial that number. If you are in China, but not in Shanghai, you would dial 021 962020. If you are not in China, you would dial 0086 21 962020.\r\n\r\n<strong>Addresses</strong>\r\n\r\nIn Shanghai addresses are you usually given as a street, the number and which junction they are close to. So for example a popular Shanghai restaurant like Hot Pot King, is on 1416 Huaihai Lu. In Shanghai when giving directions, you would say 1416 Huaihai Lu, near Fuxing Lu (in Chinese: 上海市淮海路1416号楼, 近复兴路 or in pinyin Shànghǎi shì huáihǎi lù 1416 hào lóu, jìn fùxīng lù), because roads in Shanghai are very long and it is important to know which part of the road you want to go to. To make sure to not get lost it is always good to take the places phone number (in this case 021 6473 6380) with you as well.\r\n<iframe src="https://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=de&amp;geocode=&amp;q=1416+Huaihai+Lu&amp;aq=&amp;sll=31.230416,121.473701&amp;sspn=1.627526,3.348083&amp;gl=de&amp;g=Shanghai,+Volksrepublik+China&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=1416+Huaihai+Lu&amp;hnear=&amp;radius=15000&amp;t=m&amp;ll=31.210452,121.448042&amp;spn=0.006423,0.00912&amp;z=16&amp;output=embed" height="350" width="425" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>\r\n<small><a style="color: #0000ff; text-align: left;" href="https://maps.google.de/maps?f=q&amp;source=embed&amp;hl=de&amp;geocode=&amp;q=1416+Huaihai+Lu&amp;aq=&amp;sll=31.230416,121.473701&amp;sspn=1.627526,3.348083&amp;gl=de&amp;g=Shanghai,+Volksrepublik+China&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=1416+Huaihai+Lu&amp;hnear=&amp;radius=15000&amp;t=m&amp;ll=31.210452,121.448042&amp;spn=0.006423,0.00912&amp;z=16">Größere Kartenansicht</a></small>', 'Learn in Shanghai', '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '6244-revision-v1', '', '', '2013-11-12 18:04:38', '2013-11-12 18:04:38', '', 6244, 'http://ltl-chinois.fr/6244-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0) ;

It is up to everyone to decide if they want to follow them of course, but nobody ever said that learning Chinese wasn\'t hard and radical. It is - and that\'s why it is fun.\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Tones from the beginning</strong>\r\n\r\nIf your aim is to speak fluent Mandarin, learn the tones from the beginning and do not leave them until later. Once you get used to using tones wrong or even worse not at all, changing that behavior is a lot more time consuming than learning them right in the first place. It might slow you down at the beginning with your speaking, but it is worth it in the long run. Taking a short-cut with tones will come back to haunt you later.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00461.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6217" alt="Learn Mandarin" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00461-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>2. Move your head</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you struggle with saying tones at the beginning (pretty much everyone does), move your head with the tone for each syllable. It might look stupid, but it does make you say the tone more accurately.\r\n<em><strong>Tip</strong>: Works best with the fourth tone. A decisive up to down movement of your head while saying a syllable makes you automatically lower the tone while saying it.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Speak Slowly</strong>\r\n\r\nAt the beginning, speak slowly and clearly. Very slowly and clearly. Do no try to imitate accents, but speak the way your teacher tells you to. Do not listen to people who might tell you that "the Chinese use the tones wrong or leave them away all the time themselves" and that way justify not paying attention to tones themselves. Say every word and tone properly. Do not leave endings away and do not try to hide a tone by speaking quickly. You might have to speak very slowly, which might sound a bit stupid at the beginning, it will however, teach you proper pronunciation. Once you mastered that, then you can start to speed-up, learn accents and maybe in some cases you will even master the art of knowing when you can leave a tone away and when not, but this will come at a much more advanced stage.\r\n\r\n<strong>4. Do not speak English</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen a Chinese person speaks English with you, however bad your Chinese is, reply in Mandarin. It will slow you down, it will be annoying, but it will get you ahead. You think you saved time by buying a train ticket with an English speaking travel agent in 5 minutes instead of doing it with a dictionary and loads of work yourself in an twenty minutes? No you didn\'t - you lost 20 minutes of very valuable practice time - and the warm and fuzzy feeling that you did it all alone in Chinese once you got the ticket. In case you did not manage to get the ticket, go back to class, ask your teacher the words, practice them and try the next day again. You will get it - the harder the fight, the more you learn while doing it.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSCN6358.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6126" alt="how to learn" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSCN6358-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>5.Do not allow other people to use you for English practice</strong>\r\n\r\nStay away from Chinese people who want to practice their English with you - or speak with them in Mandarin until they give up. Reply in Mandarin, however much better that other person\'s English might be. They might tell you that they learn English and really want to practice that. They might very well do, however you didn\'t come to China to help other people to practice their English, but to improve your Mandarin. Tell them that在中国说中文  (Zài zhōngguó shuō zhōngwén - in China speak Chinese) and that\'s it. It is often a battle of minds you will have to win. If you ever meet a Chinese person learning your language in your home country, return the favor by speaking to them in your language then. Require them to do the same to you when you are in China. You are not an English language practice dummy!\r\n\r\n<strong>6. Understand characters.</strong>\r\n\r\nDo not just memorize characters - understand them.   To do that, start with learning the radicals. There are 214 Chinese radicals and all characters are combinations of those. Once you know these, characters are not random drawings, but combinations of pieces that you already know.\r\n<em><strong>Tip</strong>: A lot of radicals are also Chinese characters alone you will learn anyways and you only need the most commonly used ones. So learning them will be a lot easier than you might think. We find Zhang Peng\'s book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Most-Common-Chinese-Radicals-Edition/dp/7800525767">the most common Chinese radicals</a> very useful.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/201203232491.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6187" alt="Mandarin homework" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/201203232491-225x300.jpg" width="225" height="300" /></a>7. Trick your brain</strong>\r\n\r\nMake up stories to remember characters - we humans remember stories better than drawings. You can either use the radicals to make up a story or just make up any that makes sense to you. Often the more stupid, the better, because you will remember them.\r\n<em>Example: For me丽 (lì - beautiful) are "the crying eyes with the hat on". This is not at all how this character was created originally, however to me it makes sense and I remember it. Use whatever story works for you - it is often better to use your own than those of other people, because we all associate different things with different pictures.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>8. Look up characters</strong>\r\n\r\nLook up characters when you see them. Whenever you see a character, it is a chance to learn one. China is full of characters, most of which you will not know. Use your dictionary to look them up.\r\n\r\n<strong>9. Travel time is study time.</strong>\r\n\r\nWhenever you are stuck in traffic, waiting for someone or on a train, get your homework, vocabulary list or Pleco flashcards out and start reviewing. Learning Chinese vocabulary requires a lot of repetition. Use the time you wouldn\'t be doing anything else to do it and save the rest of your day for more fun activities.\r\n\r\n<strong>10.Post-it Notes</strong>\r\n\r\nPut post-it notes on your furniture and other objects at home with the Chinese character and pinyin, so you learn while living. Whenever you look at the table, think of the table or use the table, there will be a big yellow sign with the pinyin and Chinese character on it.\r\n<strong>Tip</strong>：A good place to put post-it notes with vocabulary where most people spend a lot of time without having too much to do is your toilet.\r\n\r\n<strong>And finally: do not give up</strong>. Never, ever! Learning Chinese can be quite a test of character. When you hit a low and feel like you are not progressing or nobody understand anything you say - that is the real test. Do you give up or not? Always keep in mind that frustrations and the feeling "I will never be able to learn this" are a part of learning Chinese. Most people who are fluent today will have plenty of stories to tell you when they thought they were never ever going to learn this. They did.

Based on our and our student\'s experience. Some of them might seem radical and hard to put into practice to people who haven\'t tried yet. It is up to everyone to decide if they want to follow them of course, but nobody ever said that learning Chinese wasn\'t hard and radical. It is - and that\'s why it is fun.\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Tones from the beginning</strong>\r\n\r\nIf your aim is to speak fluent Mandarin, learn the tones from the beginning and do not leave them until later. Once you get used to using tones wrong or even worse not at all, changing that behavior is a lot more time consuming than learning them right in the first place. It might slow you down at the beginning with your speaking, but it is worth it in the long run. Taking a short-cut with tones at the beginning will come back to haunt you later.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00461.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6217" alt="Learn Mandarin" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00461-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>2. Move your head</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you struggle with saying tones at the beginning (pretty much everyone does), move your head with the tone for each syllable. It might look stupid, but it does make you say the tone more accurately.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Tip</strong>: Works best with the fourth tone. A decisive up to down movement of your head while saying a syllable makes you automatically lower the tone while saying it.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Speak Slowly</strong>\r\n\r\nAt the beginning, speak slowly and clearly. Very slowly and clearly. Do no try to imitate accents, but speak the way your teacher tells you to. Do not listen to people who might tell you that "the Chinese use the tones wrong or leave them away all the time themselves" and that way justify not paying attention to tones themselves. Say every word and tone properly. Do not leave endings away and do not try to hide a tone by speaking quickly. You might have to speak very slowly, which might sound a bit stupid at the beginning, it will however, teach you proper pronunciation. Once you mastered that, then you can start to speed-up, learn accents and maybe in some cases you will even master the art of knowing when you can leave a tone away and when not, but this will come at a much more advanced stage.\r\n\r\n<strong>4. Do not speak English</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen a Chinese person speaks English with you, however bad your Chinese is, reply in Mandarin. It will slow you down, it will be annoying, but it will get you ahead. You think you saved time by buying a train ticket with an English speaking travel agent in 5 minutes instead of doing it with a dictionary and loads of work yourself in an twenty minutes? No you didn\'t - you lost 20 minutes of very valuable practice time - and the warm and fuzzy feeling that you did it all alone in Chinese once you got the ticket. In case you did not manage to get the ticket, go back to class, ask your teacher the words, practice them and try the next day again. You will get it - the harder the fight, the more you learn while doing it.\r\n\r\n<strong>5.Do not allow other people to use you for English practice</strong>\r\n\r\nStay away from Chinese people who want to practice their English with you - or speak with them in Mandarin until they give up. Reply in Mandarin, however much better that other person\'s English might be. They might tell you that they learn English and really want to practice that. They might very well do, however you didn\'t come to China to help other people to practice their English, but to improve your Mandarin. Tell them that在中国说中文  (Zài zhōngguó shuō zhōngwén - in China speak Chinese) and that\'s it. It is often a battle of minds you will have to win. If you ever meet a Chinese person learning your language in your home country, return the favor by speaking to them in your language then. Require them to do the same to you when you are in China. You are not an English language practice dummy!\r\n\r\n<strong>6. Understand characters.</strong>\r\n\r\nDo not just memorize characters - understand them.   To do that, start with learning the radicals. There are 214 Chinese radicals and all characters are combinations of those. Once you know these, characters are not random drawings, but combinations of pieces that you already know.\r\n\r\nTip: A lot of radicals are also Chinese characters alone you will learn anyways and you only need the most commonly used ones. So learning them will be a lot easier than you might think. We find Zhang Peng\'s book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Most-Common-Chinese-Radicals-Edition/dp/7800525767">the most common Chinese radicals</a> very useful.\r\n\r\n<strong>7. Trick your brain</strong>\r\n\r\nMake up stories to remember characters - we humans remember stories better than drawings. You can either use the radicals to make up a story or just make up any that makes sense to you. Often the more stupid, the better, because you will remember them.\r\n\r\n[toggle title="Example"]\r\n\r\nExample: For me丽 (lì - beautiful) are "the crying eyes with the hat on". This is not at all how this character was created originally, however to me it makes sense and I remember it. Use whatever story works for you - it is often better to use your own than those of other people, because we all associate different things with different pictures.\r\n\r\n[/toggle]\r\n\r\n<strong>8. Look up characters</strong>\r\n\r\nLook up characters when you see them. Whenever you see a character, it is a chance to learn one. China is full of characters, most of which you will not know. Use your dictionary to look them up.\r\n\r\n<strong>9. Travel time is study time.</strong>\r\n\r\nWhenever you are stuck in traffic, waiting for someone or on a train, get your homework, vocabulary list or Pleco flashcards out and start reviewing. Learning Chinese vocabulary requires a lot of repetition. Use the time you wouldn\'t be doing anything else to do it and save the rest of your day for more fun activities.\r\n\r\n<strong>10.Post-it Notes</strong>\r\n\r\nPut post-it notes on your furniture and other objects at home with the Chinese character and pinyin, so you learn while living. Whenever you look at the table, think of the table or use the table, there will be a big yellow sign with the pinyin and Chinese character on it.\r\n\r\n[toggle title="Tip"]\r\n\r\nA good place to put post-it notes with vocabulary where most people spend a lot of time without having too much to do is your toilet.\r\n\r\n[/toggle]\r\n\r\n<strong>And finally: do not give up</strong>. Never, ever! Learning Chinese can be quite a test of character. When you hit a low and feel like you are not progressing or nobody understand anything you say - that is the real test. Do you give up or not? Always keep in mind that frustrations and the feeling "I will never be able to learn this" are a part of learning Chinese.

Some of them might seem radical and hard to put into practice to people who haven\'t tried yet. It is up to everyone to decide if they want to follow them of course, but nobody ever said that learning Chinese wasn\'t hard and radical. It is - and that\'s why it is fun.\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Tones from the beginning</strong>\r\n\r\nIf your aim is to speak fluent Mandarin, learn the tones from the beginning and do not leave them until later. Once you get used to using tones wrong or even worse not at all, changing that behavior is a lot more time consuming than learning them right in the first place. It might slow you down at the beginning with your speaking, but it is worth it in the long run. Taking a short-cut with tones at the beginning will come back to haunt you later.\r\n\r\n<strong><a href="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00461.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-6217" alt="Learn Mandarin" src="http://ltl-chinois.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/DSC00461-300x225.jpg" width="300" height="225" /></a>2. Move your head</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you struggle with saying tones at the beginning (pretty much everyone does), move your head with the tone for each syllable. It might look stupid, but it does make you say the tone more accurately.\r\n<em><strong>Tip</strong>: Works best with the fourth tone. A decisive up to down movement of your head while saying a syllable makes you automatically lower the tone while saying it.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Speak Slowly</strong>\r\n\r\nAt the beginning, speak slowly and clearly. Very slowly and clearly. Do no try to imitate accents, but speak the way your teacher tells you to. Do not listen to people who might tell you that "the Chinese use the tones wrong or leave them away all the time themselves" and that way justify not paying attention to tones themselves. Say every word and tone properly. Do not leave endings away and do not try to hide a tone by speaking quickly. You might have to speak very slowly, which might sound a bit stupid at the beginning, it will however, teach you proper pronunciation. Once you mastered that, then you can start to speed-up, learn accents and maybe in some cases you will even master the art of knowing when you can leave a tone away and when not, but this will come at a much more advanced stage.\r\n\r\n<strong>4. Do not speak English</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen a Chinese person speaks English with you, however bad your Chinese is, reply in Mandarin. It will slow you down, it will be annoying, but it will get you ahead. You think you saved time by buying a train ticket with an English speaking travel agent in 5 minutes instead of doing it with a dictionary and loads of work yourself in an twenty minutes? No you didn\'t - you lost 20 minutes of very valuable practice time - and the warm and fuzzy feeling that you did it all alone in Chinese once you got the ticket. In case you did not manage to get the ticket, go back to class, ask your teacher the words, practice them and try the next day again.

Reply in Mandarin, however much better that other person\'s English might be. They might tell you that they learn English and really want to practice that. They might very well do, however you didn\'t come to China to help other people to practice their English, but to improve your Mandarin. Tell them that在中国说中文  (Zài zhōngguó shuō zhōngwén - in China speak Chinese) and that\'s it. It is often a battle of minds you will have to win.

Most likely most or all your classmates will be Chinese who will be quite interested to learn and hear about your culture, but who themselves have never lived in or maybe not even visited another country. The family dynamics in China are also different and it is important that you are willing to fit into a Chinese family and be part of their life style.

With the LTL HSK examination kit we will guide you through the process, create an HSK study plan for you, do mock exams, help you to prepare and of course do the quite time consuming and cumbersome sign up and payment process for you, as well as provide you with past exam papers and the syllabus for the level you will take the exam in.\r\n\r\n<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>The Process</strong></span>\r\n\r\nFirst your LTL HSK specialist will first do an assessment with you to determine your current HSK level as well as explain the exam structure. Based on this your HSK specialist will help you to choose the most suitable exam date and level, and identify the areas that you need to focus on to prepare for the HSK exam. You then receive a personalized HSK preparation plan, including study targets, learning strategies and your study plan, as well as mock exam dates. The HSK specialist will then organize the sign up and registration for you. Following your study plan, you will review and take several exams from last years tests, learn the vocabulary needed for your level and work through the given listening comprehension results. This can be done alone or as part of an additional LTL course, depending on your preferences. About a week before your HSK specialist will do a mock exam with you and afterwards analyse the results with you, give you exam tips, advice you on how to improve your exam time management and which topics you should review again before taking the test.\r\n\r\n<strong>Fee: 980 CNY</strong>, including past exam papers and exam syllabus\r\n\r\n<strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Includes</span></strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>HSK level assessment</li>\r\n	<li>HSK study plan</li>\r\n	<li>HSK mock test and analysis</li>\r\n	<li>Five full sets of past HSK exams for your level and CD</li>\r\n	<li>The official HSK Test Syllabus and CD for your level</li>\r\n	<li>Sign up and payment support</li>\r\n	<li>Result pick-up</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Does not include</span></strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Chinese classes</li>\r\n	<li>The Hanban Exam fee</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe additional exam fees for the Hanban testing centre are currently 150CNY for Level I, 250 for Level II, 350 Level III, 450, Level IV, 550 Level V and 650 Level VI.
