Learning Chinese in Taiwan
I want to learn Mandarin — which option fits my situation?
How you learn Chinese in Taiwan depends on your residency. New immigrants — the spouses and families of Taiwanese nationals — can join free government Mandarin classes. People on a work or student visa usually go through a university Chinese Language Center. Not sure which applies to you? The 1990 hotline (24h, Chinese/English/Japanese) can confirm in minutes.
