Semester in Taiwan with LTL Mandarin School

Small Chinese Group Classes in Taiwan

Experience a university style academic semester at LTL Taiwan and get your Mandarin ahead fast. We offer two 18 week semester programs in Taiwan, a Spring Semester and a Fall Semester and we give our students the foundation they need to reach HSK3 and sometimes HSK4 within one semester.

Chinese Lessons will take place Monday through to Friday and each day you will have four hours of class. Generally two in the morning before a break for lunch, and then two afterwards. Group sizes for our Taiwan Semester program never exceed sic students and average less than three students per class. This gives every student the chance to speak, read, write and improve compared to being “just another number”. We care deeply about the progression of each and every student, hence the small group class size.

We are lucky enough to have the best teachers in Taipei. We demand all teachers have at least five years teaching experience and a degree in teaching foreigners Chinese. This gives means you can rest easy, knowing you are being taught Chinese by the best Chinese tutors in the business.

The Taiwan Semester Program is available from complete beginner level, up to HSK3 (B1) level. If you are a level above this please check out our individual Chinese classes in Taiwan which would be best suited to you. We offer part time Chinese classes as well as full time at LTL Taiwan.

Why study for a Semester with LTL?

There are so many reasons why your progression studying Chinese at LTL will be as swift as possible. Although it’s easy for us to say why, it may give you more comfort to hear what other students have to say about studying at LTL. Take a look at some reviews of our Chinese language schools and see for yourself.

The Mandarin Semester program at LTL offers you small classes and we cannot state how important this is when studying Mandarin. From the very early stages, it’s imperative to get your mouth moving. Speaking with your teacher, fellow students and locals will go a huge way to improving your language skills. If you don’t talk, how can you ever know what’s right and wrong? This is the main factor for our small group sizes. Six students at the very maximum, under three on average. This allows you to cover all of speaking, reading, writing and listening to a strong level.

Add onto that our lessons are 55 minutes long and not 45 like at some centre and universities. An extra 10 minutes per lesson is 40 minutes per day, 200 minutes per week which is over 3 hours. That’s a huge amount of Chinese!

We are strong believers in our ability to get your Chinese fast and our Semester Program in Taiwan is a great way of doing that at great value.
