Booking with us is really easy. You just have to go to the link of the school you are interested in. Where it says COURSE and then START, you select the dates you wish to study there. Afterwards, you select how many weeks you want to study.

You then select the course you wish to attend. You can add optional services, such as accommodation and airport transfer. If you would like to add these additional services, you need to go further down the page where you will find the section relating to ACCOMMODATION. You select the option of the type of accommodation you want (You do not have to select the dates here if they are the same as the course - they are automatically selected).
After the Accommodation, you have another option,  that of TRANSFER. This option allows you to book a transport that will pick you up at the airport and will take you to your residence or host family.

Once you have selected all these options, on your right hand side, you are going to see a summary of your reservation with all the information about the course and the accommodation, together with their prices. Also, the deposit you have to pay will be displayed there. You just have to press the Orange Button that says BOOK NOW and this will take you to another page to enter your personal details. When you are booking you only have to pay the little deposit. After that, we will contact the school and request your booking. When your booking is confirmed by the school or host, they will hold your place until the your booking balance is paid in full. The same applies for the accommodation. You can pay either with credit card, paypal account or bank transfer; as you prefer. This deposit you pay now will be discounted from the total price.

The start dates of intensive and standard language courses are generally flexible. If you have some basic knowledge of the language, you will be able to start any Monday of the year at almost any school. If you are a total beginner, courses usually start once or twice a month.
You should be aware that language schools have more students in July and August than during any other time of year, which means that course fees, housing prices and the overall cost of living are often more expensive during this time. If you would like to book a course in July or August, you should do so very early: schools have limited spots and might be booked well in advance for the high season. Your chances to get your preferred housing type are also greater if you book your course early. Housing options near the school are especially difficult to secure in the summer and tend to fill up quickly.
Language courses during the low season (September to June) are not only less expensive, but also have smaller classes. If you are able to wait to take your courses during this time you will pay less for your courses, and  you may even receive better housing, since demand is much lower. Please, review this information within the language course details on the language school page.
 You can find the availability status underneath each price on the school / host page. Nevertheless, if you submit a reservation request and your place is not available, the deposit paid will be 100% refunded.

I studied for 12 weeks at LTL this summer, living with a homestay family in Beijing. I knew very little Chinese before I started and was basically a complete beginner. We were five students in the class and the teachers were fantastic. Patient, professional and a lot of fun I really enjoyed the classes (and my classmates). The homestay was an amazing experience and I think it helped me a lot with my Chinese. The school is very well organized, fun and a great team. I will be going again next year

I studied with LTL first for 10 weeks in Beijing and then 4 in Chengde. In Beijing I organised my own accommodation and just took classes there and had a great teacher. Afterwards I went on a 4 week trip to Chengde, staying with a Chinese family and studying Chinese (2h a day). I was a bit afraid as my Chinese is not that good yet, but it was amazing. The family was so nice, Chengde is a great city, I learned so much and it was very well organised. I will definitely be back. Thanks LTL!

There are tons of private Mandarin schools in Beijing, but I think LtL is one of the best. Aside from having really good teachers, the staff are very accommodating and care about your needs. They don't just look after your schooling, but also your life outside the classes, like fitting me with my own bicycle, 'Survival Kit' and taking me out on dinners and lunches to orient me about life in China. I never knew a school could give such personal attention! Keep it up, LtL! =)
