Most learners of Mandarin face the same problem: even while living in China we often end up speaking surprisingly little Mandarin once we’ve finished classes. Let LtL help you surpass this plateau with the Complete Immersion Chengde Program.

Banish 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).

Mandarin 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.

With 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.

Complete Immersion Chengde is also available as a weekend program, perfect for working professionals.

<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Chengde Safari</strong></span>

Instead of studying in a class room setting, let teacher take you to a different part of Chengde every day for class where you lean and practice Mandarin in a real life setting, and explore China's ancient summer capital. A great way to get out of the class room, have fun, and learn Chinese. Choose from 10 trips: The imperial summer mountain resort, the university city, the ancient imperial palace, folk art, shopping in Chengde, the eight temples, the twin tower hill, Kuixing tower, Chengde's parks, and the morning/evening market.
