How we create the points regarding what we like/dislike about a school
Location: Taiwan Mandarin Institute is located at a prime position in the capital city of Taiwan, to the North of the island. Taipei has a very contested history and a highlight to visit whilst in the Capital city is the National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, a memorial erected for a former president, which is 20 minutes from Taiwan Mandarin Institute. In close proximity to the Memorial Hall are a number of train stations that are well connected to all major cities in Taiwan. As travelling by train has been rated as one of the best ways to visit the country, students will be able to do this with ease.
Getting around: Taiwan Manderin Institute has a subway station, Taipower Building Station, seconds from the front day meaning students are able to explore the city during their free time. Coupled with the city’s interesting past, there is also a modern twist to Taipei which should not be missed. Shi-men Ting shopping neighbourhood is just 15 minutes on the subway and Taipei 101, a magnificent skyscraper, impossible to miss, can be visited in a 30 minutes metro ride.
Social and Cultural: In order to get to grips with a new language, a great method is to combine the learning with activities that can help plant the seed of understanding. There is a great emphasis on the importance of this at Taiwan Manderine Institute and the school offers an evening social event three times a week for students to socialise with both their classmates and their teachers as well as experience the depth of the Taiwanese culture. The class content and form is of equal importance and all teachers are fully trained and with over 2 years experience of teaching Taiwanese.
- The language school Taiwan Mandarin Institute was founded in Taipei, Taiwan in 2009.

Mandarin Chinese Courses at Taiwan Mandarin Institute can be in Simplified Format or Traditional Format and the student can choose this to their liking.
All Intense courses are limited to 6 students per class. They are also divided into four levels: Beginning, lower intermediate, intermediate, and advanced. Students will be assigned to one of the four levels according to their placement test results. This is the most popular course among short-stay travellers in Taiwan. Students can choose to study any amount of time ranging from 1 week to 52 weeks. The class content focuses heavily on speaking with the majority of the written element given as homework.
Special note for 2024 holiday season: If you plan to take a course during the high season months of April, June, July or August 2024 we urgently advise you to book as early as possible. In 2023 many schools were fully booked during the holidays and the situation is unlikely to be different for 2024 due to a current shortage of teachers, which affects most schools.

Student opinions about Taiwan Mandarin Institute, Taipei
Alexis

“The teachers were excellent. And it is really helpful to have an option where you can jump in at any time with almost any schedule. I don't think it's easy to accommodate a student for a random three-week session.”
“The textbooks had a number of problems. The fit between student and class was a bit off. ”
