zhouhaochen 243 Report post Posted June 7, 2019 LTL opened a new Chinese language school in Taibei. Our Taiwan Chinese language school works very the same as our schools in mainland China, with a strong focus on immersion with Chinese. We organize Chinese language homestays, small group classes (average 3 students/class), 1on1 classes either as a standard (20h/wk) ord intensive (30h/wk) course. We also organize shared apartments (but homestays are better for immersion!) and social events and activities in Taiwan. We very strongly believe that to learn a language you have to live it (LTL stands for "Live The Language") and being immersed into that language environment and getting out of the expat and English speaking bubble is essential. If you think that too then we are the right school for you. As in Taiwan google works normally, we can have a proper google maps page for our school there https://goo.gl/maps/b3VqWfEfBE3DLqKH9 and are quite proud of our 5 star rating there (lets hope it stays that way). Many students combine a Mandarin course in Taiwan with a course at our Beijing, Shanghai or Beihai schools. Currently we only teach Mandarin Chinese, but for the future I hope we will start offering Taiwanese (Hokkien/Minnanyu/Fujianhua) courses too. Supporting Chinese dialects is something that matters a lot to us, so if you are interested in studying Taiwanese, please get in touch and we will definitely find a way to organize something for you.

zhouhaochen 243 Report post Posted June 7, 2019 @Flickserve Cantonese is planned for Beihai, because its an originally Cantonese speaking city, though there has been a massive influx of NorthEasterners because the climate and environment is so much better than Hebei etc. so Mandarin is the main language now. But we definitely do want to offer Cantonese there too - might be next year only though. @ChTTay Still in Beijing, but traveling a lot these days ⛷️ I hope all going well in the capital!

zhouhaochen 243 Report post Posted January 31 Just a quick update, LTL Taipei is running normally next week and classes are not affected by the Corona Virus outbreak in mainland China. There are more people wearing face masks on the street but at the moment thats about it. Homestays, Apartments, social activities etc. all continue as normal.
