Taipei Language Institute

 The place where we spend most of our waking hours!

Our first task in Taiwan: complete two years of full

time language study, studying Chinese Mandarin

 We spend fourteen hours in the classroom each week,

learning one on one with a teacher (and numerous

hours learning outside the classroom!)

Our first textbook - pronunciation. This took us a
week to complete!

 The first in a series of textbooks that we're working
through - 'Chinese Made Easier' (that's easIER, not easy!)
