Andreas Laimboeck, originally from Austria, came to Beijing to learn Mandarin in 1999.

On the way to learning the language in a very "immersive" way, he fell in love with China and its culture. To Laimboeck, the experience of learning Chinese by practicing the language with local friends while enjoying their homeland is just as important as being a good student.

With these methods in mind, he founded LTL Mandarin School, where the coursework is not just to learn Mandarin, but to explore China and get to know in an entirely new culture and environment.
