How much Chinese can I realistically learn?
While language progress of course differs for each person, we are very proud of the speed that we get our students ahead.
For the small group course a complete beginner usually knows survival Chinese to get around within two to four weeks (HSK1), can have basic conversations after two months (HSK2).
Getting into more complex conversations can take five to seven (HSK 4), with the potential of fluency within a year (HSK 5 to 6).
Staying with a homestay is a surefire way to make speedy progress.
Do you teach Chinese characters?
Yes, of course, this is essential.
As the classes are in Taiwan, we are teaching traditional as well as simplified characters, but our group classes teach just Traditional.
The main focus of the class is still speaking and listening.
