    :eek: Hi Guys, looking into learning Chinese at the moment wanted to either go here www.hutong-school.com/ or here http://www.omeida.com.cn/ . Anyone have any ideas with learning Chinese I have nothing to do here so thought Id go somewhere I have been interested in and Japan isnt doing the best at the moment

    I do not know either of those two schools, but I studied at LTL last year for two months. Not sure what you are looking for, but LTL is quite demanding in their courses and has a strong focus on immersion, particularly homestays. I was looking for a challenging program with cultural immersion, so this fit me well but if you are more interested in just a holiday experience this might be too intense for you. As a school they are very well organised and I found them very honest and helpful in their communications. My favourite part was their homestay though, the family I lived with was great and in addition to speaking a lot of Chinese it was a very interesting experience to be part of a family that is so different to what a family is like back home. I am still in touch with them and I hope they will come and visit me this summer here.
    If you want an intensive immersion program this school might be a good option.

    I would suggest thatsmandarin, I did try out LTL before, but I think they were way too unprofessional, I thinnk the teachers they provided just some colleagues students. However a friend recommend thatsmandarin, so I switched the school aftewards, and now it is been 2 years that I am taking the class with them, I have passed HSK 4 last month with score 278, and I was at level1 2 years ago, now I am preparing for level 5, so if you are looking for a chinese school, thatsmandarin is definitely the best. Here is their website: www.thatsmandarin.com
