Q7:What will the students do besides study Chinese? Are there other types of classes and activities?
A:There is a lot that we do besides studying Chinese in the classroom.  Our teaching staff also lead many courses that verse students in different aspects of Chinese culture such as martial arts, diabolo, Chinese knot tying, art, etc., which allow students to understand more traditional aspects of Chinese life. We also take students outside the classroom on field trips. For example, in the past we've gone to see the Yingge pottery exhibitions, the National Palace Museum and Jiufen, the mining village. You can also make special requests to where you'd like to go as well and we'll do our best to organize a trip.
 
 

Q8:What are the tuition fees?
A:Since each program is custom made based on the needs of the individuals or the group attending, the price of the course is always different. Feel free to contact us for a quote.
