LTL Mandarin School Taiwan (Taibei)

My experience as a foreign worker (B2 level)

I am from Rome, Italy but I attended university in London, UK, and I have been studying Mandarin Chinese for 4 years. I moved to Taipei to work for a bank as an HR specialist in the recruiting team and I needed to improve my mandarin skills to keep up with working in a fully Mandarin Chinese environment. My first teacher was not a good fit personally but I still learnt a lot with her old fashioned exam based lessons. Then, Alin Chou and Greta Simonelli were very helpful with arranging schedule and finding a new teacher who would fit my needs!

This new teacher's name is Wang Pinwei and the first time I met her she even cooked me dinner at school! I would have never expected that hahah She fed me a few times and it was delicious. Our lessons were fun and flexible, I was able to learn a lot while never getting bored nor frustrated! She also encouraged me to join extracurricular activities which became amazing memories! I am very sad to leave Taipei and interrupt my lessons with teacher Wang Pinwei, but we will keep in touch! Overall, LTL Mandarin and the people I met at school were really special and made my whole experience of improving Mandarin a moving to a new place more enjoyable and less lonely. I have changed many teachers and schools along the way and I can say for sure that this experience is in my top 3! 

Thanks for everything!

王品葳老師謝謝妳陪我上課，我會想妳！

大家謝謝妳們幫我調整課程很多次哈哈 很感恩！

Greta ti auguro il meglio! Felice di aver incontrato un'Italiana che lavora qui!

I've overall had a great experience studying Mandarin at LTL language school! I came in with a pretty solid foundation in Mandarin, but in the last couple months I have noticed significant improvements in my speaking ability which allow me to communicate much more effectively than I ever could before. Sabrina has been an excellent teacher for me, and Riona and Alin have been very helpful managing the front desk and organizing activities! There are activities nearly every day, most of which occur after class at the school but also including field trips to various locations around Taipei.
