Tzu Chi Chinese Language Center

I recieved a scholarship from TECRO to study Chinese in Taiwan, so I wanted to chose a small city with a good environment and clean air, so I chose this school in Hualien. All these things surpassed my expectations, the scenery was breath-taking, the sky always blue, and the city life comfortable and convenient. Then, I found out how much I enjoyed the campus, the small classes, and the dedicated teachers. Also, the administrative staff were always helpful and took good care of the students. All of my teachers took the time to get to know their students and worked hard to help their students improve. We became friends, could eat out together, and even play board games together. My Chinese improved by leaps and bounds, from the great classes, and the convenient places around town to practice. I still wish to go back to Hualien and see the many friends, including teachers and staff that I met here. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to try a different experience then the typical large city of Taipei, and someone looking to have the chance to get to know their teachers and friends on a deep level. Their are many good cultural experiences offered by the college as well, such as a tea ceremony class, and everyone in Hualien prefers speaking Chinese than English, so it's the perfect place to practice around town. Having a bicycle and riding around town after class is convenient, and allowed me to go anywhere in town I wanted to go. So, don't miss the chance to experience this excellent program.
