ACCOMMODATION

Whilst you’ll learn most of your Mandarin in the classroom with us, it’s not all about what you do at school – it’s what you do out of it that matters.

This is where the idea of the LTL Homestay came from.

Needless to say it is one of our greatest ideas – 80% of LTL students stay at a homestay.

We also offer shared apartments and private studios. Please read on to find out more information about our accommodation options in Shanghai.

How do you decide on the homestay family?

We do our very best to get to know you before placing you. This is why our chats to you before you arrive are so important.
