Hi all, 大家好！

I?m from Mallorca (Spain) and planning in going to Taiwan to study Chinese for a few months. Early stages, so far studying Chinese and taking HSK1 next month with aim to arrive to Taipei with HSK2 and optimise my immersion course.

Any suggestions on choosing the right language academy, accommodation options (2 months or so to start) and others, will be much appreciated.?

The planned arrival is about October this year.

Cheers!

Hello JaviMallorca,

Welcome on board !

Please note that I have created a new thread on the Taiwan forum from your post so that members can guide you.

Have you found a language school yet ? Should it be in Taipei ?

Regards

Bhavna

@JaviMallorca It is not about language school that mostly wants your money. They hype the courses to mislead you. Only a tiny proportion of foreigners can achieve functional levels of Chinese, ones with aptitude to learn the language.
