1Language Course

Immersive Learning Speak From Day One Small Classes

Beginner to pre-intermediate welcome (TOCFL A0–A2, HSK 0–5)
Interactive, scenario-based teaching and games to get you speaking naturally
Small classes of 7–10 (max 15), grouped by level
Taught in Pinyin, using Traditional Chinese characters

Focused on real communication skills, the class uses situational practice, role-play, and interactive games to help students speak Chinese naturally. Even shy learners can build confidence in a relaxed, low-pressure environment — turning Chinese from textbook words into a language they can actually use!

2Culture Workshops

Traditional Culture Hands-On Expert-Led

Hands-on experience with Taiwanese and Chinese traditional culture — not just lectures
Led by professional instructors and local master craftspeople
Past themes: seal carving, Hanfu, Eight Generals dance, Taiwanese Indigenous culture, glove puppetry, martial arts, paper cutting, calligraphy

Through hands-on practice, students step into the world of Taiwanese and Chinese tradition — not just seeing and hearing it, but feeling the craft for themselves. From seal carving and Hanfu to the Eight Generals dance, from Indigenous culture and glove puppetry to martial arts, paper cutting, and calligraphy, every session is led by a professional instructor or local master.

3Topic CourseSummer Only — ICEP7 & ICEP8

Everyday Chinese Theme-Based Task-Driven

Themes drawn from real life — travel, pop culture, careers, social media, and more
Task-based teaching, with a tangible outcome every class

This course breaks away from the traditional classroom, weaving Chinese into everyday life through a variety of themes. Built around task-based learning, students complete something concrete in every class, building both a sense of achievement and practical ability — while gaining a deeper understanding of Taiwanese society and how the language is really used.
