Chinese Learning

Hello,

We are opening a ( Chinese Class/Language club ) for low level learners of Mandarin.

I am a foreigner who has lived in Tainan for 10 years and am not conversational in Chinese. I feel that it is time to do something about that. Even though there will be other students like me, the fact that we have been here a long time does not mean that we know a lot. If you are a new beginner I will enjoy being in class with you.

I will be a student in the class and I am not looking to make money from the club. The money collected will go to pay the teacher. I am looking to have a very supportive environment in which I can learn and grow.

This class should be good for anyone who is from new beginner to intermediate.

We will be studying all four aspects of language learning: listening, speaking, reading and writing; but the emphasis will be on listening and speaking.

The class will be 3 days a week;
2 hours per class
75 NT per hour;
Tests will be optional or not at all;
We will get together and decide what is best for us. The teacher is flexible.

Coming to every class is very encouraged but optional. We are not going to be here to get a degree, we are going to be here to help and support each other in reaching the goal of becoming functional users of Mandarin.

For the first two weeks we will meet on Wednesday and Friday for only one hour each time and free. These will be for the purpose of orientation and to get a feeling of levels and how we will work together.

The first orientation class is planned to be on Wednesday, May, 23rd; but depends on the number of people who reply to this notice as interested.

All respondents to this notice with receive a reply with directions and confirmation of the actual starting date.

Thank you,
Bert

Hi!

I'm going to stay in Tainan from Februray to April for a school-related practice at the NCKU hospital.

I was thinking that it would be nice to know if someone also is quite new to Tainan and would like to explore the city together, or just someone that would like to introduce me to Tainan :)
