I took three courses at the MTC between 2018-2019. Over all I would say they offer decent courses when I compare it to my experiences from other language schools here in Taiwan but it heavily depends on the teacher you get. My first teacher was awesome, explained everything really well and used the ...

It is famous, lots of people, great organization. But, if you want help, of pace is wrong for you, not much there. Also, library hours have been reduced, cost has been raised a lot. Good for first 6 months then start shopping. The mandatory large classes feel like a waste of time once you have reach...

I tried to take an online class in Mandarin at this so called prestigious university and I recommend any NOT to start to think of it even.
Of course payment is done online quickly via VISA or MASTERCARD, but then the schedule planning takes a while ( at least 10 days ) : Then I got 3 different invi...

Great teachers, good school material. The building itself is very old and packed with students, there is not enough space for studying.
I found the semester concept stiff and outdated. Writing chinese characters values a lot, although extremely hard to learn and not very useful in nowadays digitali...

Supposed to be one of the best mandarin teaching places in Taipei. The class is quite pricey for around 27knt$ but offers a good guidance trough their own designed book. Class size of 10 and a teacher with more than 30 years of experience. There is a 2 and a 3 hour daily class. I appreciated the off...

I tried several Chinese schools back in New York. I made very little progress with them compared to MTC here in Taipei. It's a whole new level. People told me my Mandarin had noticeable improvements with mere days off studying here.

I studied here many years ago as part of the California State University one year study abroad program when attending San Jose State University. The teachers and school were great, at the time the classes were small and the Taiwan experience was one of the best times in my life! I wish I could hav...

Very rude, they have no patience for western newcomers to the Mandarin language, the teacher does not speak English well and this makes the classes more stressful (since you should be in the English language), the price is Expensive for the service they give, the receptionists are among the wor...

It s the worst school
Even if there is a problem, it is a vague answer and it takes a lot of work twice, and I hope that the attitude is good, but the attitude is also terrible. I think we have to change the receptionist attitude. I think that this school has a lot of information, is deficient, and...

Studied here last year on scholarship and the experience is really hit-or-miss. A rare few teachers are absolutely amazing with modern student-centered teaching methods, but the majority are pretty traditional.

The good thing is that none of the teachers are absolutely horrible, so chances are, y...

The Good:
If you are lucky, you have a professional teacher who is up-to-date with the teaching methodology. The books provide a step-by-step progression.
The bad:
Mandatory Big-Class-Sessions (total waste of time); way too pricy if you shop around; management won't respond to complaints about te...

The NTNU Mandarin Training Center is by far the best Chinese Language program I've attended. Their one-on-one personal lessons are the most effective way to learn Chinese for non-native speakers, and it is possible to learn to read and write as well. Languages are particularly difficult for me, so...
