ADDITIONAL PROGRAMS
IMPORTANT NOTE – These two programs are upgrades – you must first purchase an individual course to learn Mandarin in Tainan before being able to upgrade to these programs below. You cannot purchase a Safari or Discover program on its own.
Tainan Safari
One of the best ways to learn Mandarin is to practice out and about on the streets on Tainan.
Learn how to do all the basic things you’ll need to get around Taiwan, how to buy a train ticket, how to order your favourite foods and drinks, how to bargain for your favourite pair of shoes. There’s no better way to get to grips with the Chinese basics than really immersing yourself and getting out there and practising.
Your Chinese language teacher will accompany you at all times on the Tainan Safari program.
Our Tainan Safari classes are split into 3 parts:
Warm up – Your LTL teacher will introduce the lesson topic to you, and go through any vocabulary and sentence structures needed.
The Safari – Get out there, explore, and put that Mandarin to the test.
Cool Down – You will review everything you’ve learnt during the safari session.
Please note – Students are responsible for any purchases made on the Taiwan Safari
– Perfect for Chinese Beginners at level A1/A2
– 10 hours of your 1 on 1 will upgraded to Safari per week
– Maximum of 2 weeks course length

Discover Tainan
Discover Tainan and at the same time fully immerse yourself into a Mandarin language environment.
This study program allows you to visit some of Tainan’s historical and cultural attractions while picking up and practising your language skills with locals in these areas.
Get out there with your teacher, visit some of Tainan’s favourite spots and learn the lingo as you go. Ask whatever questions you want and your teacher will guide you through the day.
The discover program is great fun and a unique way to learn.
Who says learning has to be all textbooks and memorization.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will I learn Mandarin faster by taking 1-on-1 classes?
Yes, with 1 on 1 Mandarin classes, everything is up to you and your needs.
The pace will be up to you, if you want to progress faster, you can. If you want to learn more speaking than writing (or vice versa), you can.
In a group class the teachers attention is spread across several students, and the pace and curriculum are set.
Group lessons seem more social, can I make friends?
Just because you are in an 1 on 1 class doesn’t mean you won’t meet people.
To help you meet new friends, students and locals alike, we go for lunch together often and provide various social events throughout the week.
Don’t worry about the social aspect, the friendships you will build will happen outside the classroom.
Your progress will be quicker with 1 on 1 classes, and in the end this is why you’ve chosen to learn Mandarin in Tainan with LTL.
The social life is great whether you do individual or group classes.
Can I learn Mandarin online before coming to Taiwan?
You sure can – we offer 24/7 Chinese classes with LTL Flexi Classes.

Is six hours a day not too much?
Six hours can sound like a long time to study, but in our experience you will not feel this way.
We know that people learn differently, and our classes will be set up to be both enjoyable as well as informative.
Learning for six hours every day will also see your Chinese ability improve quickly, but of course it’s a challenge and, especially early on, there will be a lot to take in!
Do you have any reviews I can read about LTL?
For sure! If you Google LTL Taiwan you will see some great words from our Taiwan students.
Otherwise we also have more reviews on Trustpilot and Facebook.
How many teachers will I have?
Sometimes one, sometimes two.
If you have a preference, please let us know and we will take it into account.
We will do our utmost to provide what you prefer.
This will be subject to your current ability as well as teacher availability.
You can be sure that whether you have one or several teachers you will never cover the same topics twice as all of our teacher communicate between classes.
