Стажировка в Пекине

I chose LTL Mandarin School knowing that it could offer me the program that best suited my needs and my Chinese knowledge. In addition to wanting to improve my Chinese, my main goal was certainly to embark on a career in China. My student advisor was able to satisfy all my requests and in this way I became part of the LTL community. My program lasted 4 months in total. During my first month in Beijing I was an LTL student attending the individual program in which I had 4 hours of Chinese class every day. During this time I had the opportunity to study Chinese with 3 different teachers. All of them were very well prepared. Studying with three different teachers gave me the opportunity to listen and understand different points of view and, at the same time, to learn Chinese through three different teaching methods, which allowed my Chinese to improve rapidly.

After the first month of study, I started my internship for LTL. In this way I was able to observe LTL school from both perspectives, as a student and as a worker. Working for LTL gave me the opportunity to learn a lot of new things, all very useful for my career.

I joined as part of the marketing staff where I had a great opportunity to start and complete the entire translation of the LTL site in Italian. I was given great responsibility to manage a number of tasks and I greatly improved my knowledge in a number of fields including email marketing, SEO, designing graphics ad so forth. Being given the chance to manage a large project such as the Italian site was a great challenge and I am really proud with the end result the team produced.

My manager was impeccable, every day he taught me something new, making sure I was able to get by myself at the end of every single day. He was able to teach me things that I did not think were possible for me, making it all very fun and relaxing. It was really a pleasure, and a unique experience for me to work and be able to learn from such a qualified and professional person.

During my 4 months in China I chose to live with a Chinese family, and, now my experience has concluded, I can say that it was the best choice I could make.Although my «host family» was made up of only one person, I really felt at home. Not only did I have the opportunity to speak and improve my Chinese, but also to create a beautiful relationship with my «roommate», whom I thank again for the delicious food that has prepared me in everyday.

I believe that the ties created during this period at LTL will last a long time and that this experience will be impossible to forget.
