SEMESTER IN TAIWAN WITH LTL MANDARIN SCHOOL
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.
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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How many Semester students are beginners?
A fair percentage are beginners but certainly not all students who join our Semester Program.
We asses each individual before starting their LTL courses and we use this to help build the perfect class for each person. You will always be with a group of similar ability no matter what.
Will my progress be faster than at University?
You really will and this is due to a number of factors. Our small class size is a vital component in this statement.
Add onto that our brilliant teachers who adhere to every single students level and needs.
There is genuinely a personal feel when being a student at LTL and it rubs off on all students who come and study with us.
Will I become fluent after 1 or 2 semesters at LTL?
Fluent is a very broad term and there is no actual definition to define fluency but there’s absolutely no doubt when can get your level ahead, fast.
After 18 weeks of studying with LTL (one Semester), we can generally get students to HSK3 level. Sometimes, with a lot more hard work and effort outside of the classroom HSK4.
After two semesters we’ve had student hit HSK5 level which is a very solid level of Chinese. For more about HSK levels and definition, visit our HSK page.

There wasn't anything I would improve. I think one of strong suits of LTL is the flexibility that you guys have in your studying programs versus big universities
In terms of learning about LTL your guys SEO is fabulous. I picked LTL entirely based off of the search results as it was one of the easiest schools to find information on and so on. Whoever is running this part of the website is doing a great job.
Rowan at Language Mix
I mostly chose LTL because it has some of the most readily available information.
My accommodation was great I loved the family that I stayed with. Both of the families were great.
I thought the course of study was pretty flexible although I will admit that I had some difficulty learning to write the characters. The teachers were helpful.
There wasn’t anything I would improve. I think one of strong suits of LTL is the flexibility that you guys have in your studying programs versus big universities, so anything that emphasizes or makes use of the ability to switch things up is to LTLs advantage.
The amount of testing is another good choice by you guys, focus is on speaking rather than an overemphasis on testing.
我每天逐漸進步可是我還有很多工作要做.最近我每天都學習中文差不多四十分鍾. I plan to take the HSK at some point but not until I have gotten more of the basics down.
I really want to return to Taiwan and China but I don’t know how soon I will have the opportunity. It was a great experience learning at LTL!
Enjoy a 36 weeks Gap Year in Taiwan. Choose from various options, from Teaching English, Studying Chinese intensively and travelling this incredible part of the world.
Study Chinese in any of eight different cities and experience Taiwan and the Mainland like never before. This is genuinely the experience of a lifetime.
