Das Institut ist sehr gut eingerichtet und Taiwan hat mir, besonders wegen den Menschen, sehr gut gefallen. Einzig die Bücher für den Kurs sind etwas umständlich gestalten. Es brauchst jeweils noch ein Buch in pinyin, da Übungen teilweise nicht übersetzt sind. Das kann auch Sinn machen aber so hat man sehr viel Material.

Meine Vorstellungen hinsichtlich des Sprachkurses und des Ortes wurden vollständig erfüllt. Dem ist eigentlich nichts hinzuzufügen. Kleine Gruppen bis max. 6 Teilnehmer sind sehr gut;natürlich ist ein Großteil der Teilnehmer jung, d.h. im "üblichen Studentenalter"; dennoch sind alle Altersklassen vertreten - und für das Lernen ist es meiner Meinung nach auch völlig irrelevant! Die zentrale Lage, d.h. U-Bahn-Anschluss und fußläufig zur Schule (ca. 12 Minuten) ist hervorragend!

Séjour linguistique absolument réussi. Petits groupes classe, excellent matériel et surtout professeurs très compétents. Enseignante moi-même, je suis admirative de la qualité de l'enseignement de mes jeunes collègues taiwanais. Excellente école pour ceux qui veulent améliorer leur chinois. Les compétences des enseignants ne se limitent pas à la seule étude de la langue, ils ont une très bonne connaissance de la littérature et de la civilisation chinoises. Excursions très bien organisées. Elles offrent un éventail d'activités très diverses qui vont de l'opéra chinois au cours de surf. Très bien pensé. Je trouve que les écoles occidentales ont beaucoup à apprendre de TMI: cette école illustre ce que doit être un établissement scolaire: sérieux, exigeant, agréable et très compétent.

Les gens sont vraiment accueillants . Beaucoup de belles rencontres , de belles personnes avec le coeur sur la main . Mais je pense qu'avant de partir dans n'importe quel pays il faut tout d'abord partir sans préjugés , avec un esprit ouvert sur le monde et sur les gens . Les professeurs sont compétents , ils prennent vraiment le temps de voir si tout les points sont acquis ou non . Ils ont beaucoup de pédagogie.

I've had a great time learning in Taipei! Everything was well organized and my teachers were great! Only the weather in the last few weeks could have been better. Especially the teachers were great, I was looking forward to going to school every day. Concerning the organization and the school in general there were no issues at all. Very free in choosing topics. All the teachers were open to any question and happy to help with anything that came up during my stay there.

In the centre of Taipei, you are right in the heart of the action: stroll about the markets, explore temples or buy a miracle beverage in a Chinese shop smelling of spices and wild flowers. Taipei is a city where you can travel everywhere in complete safety. Rest in the shadow of what was once the highest tower in the world, Taipei 101. Take advantage of the school’s social programme to get to know the other international students: eat out in a restaurant, explore historic Taipei sights, visit monuments and museums and sign up for the Chinese calligraphy introduction class. In the school building, impromptu evenings will give you the opportunity to get to know the other participants and enjoy the diversity. On Friday, classes end at 1pm, which means students can plan longer excursions on the island or overnight visits to Hong Kong.
