We are a British / Russian couple living in Beijing, China whilst studying Chinese at LTL Mandarin School. This is our daily life as foreigners studying in Beijing! Settling in to our new life in Beijing, and this routine of studying Chinese in a language school every day has been so interesting. Chinese is a difficult language to learn, but we have a fantastic teacher, and we are determined to get there, and share our progress along the way! Living somewhere for a month is something we haven't done for a long time, but we are so glad to be here in the capital of China! Lets gooo!
