Student Feedback

I learned a lot of new vocabulary and got to know more about Taiwanese culture.Through the cultural lessons, I was introduced to dragon dance, lion dance, calligraphy, and Indigenous cultures. Among all of them, the Indigenous culture interested me the most—their music, traditions, and stories were really fascinating. Overall, this week’s experience was fun, meaningful, and very enriching. I improved my Mandarin and also gained a deeper understanding of Taiwan.

My week of classes at Oh Young Language Center has been very fulfilling. The teacher first checked my level through relaxed conversation, which helped me feel comfortable right away. The lessons were also customized to my needs—for example, she adapted the check-in instructions I use at work into simple, natural Chinese that I can actually say. Since I want to improve my listening, the teacher explained mainly in Chinese, using pictures or simple English when necessary. It was challenging, but I could really feel my progress, and I’ve become more confident about speaking. Overall, the classes here make me feel supported, encouraged, and genuinely motivated to keep learning Chinese.

My one-week study experience at Oh Young Language Center was truly special. The classes were arranged by level, so I felt comfortable from the very first lesson. The teacher explained everything patiently in ways I could understand, and the cultural activities helped me learn more about Taiwan. The atmosphere in class was relaxed and enjoyable, and talking with classmates from different countries boosted my motivation. Even within just one week, I could feel clear improvement in my listening and speaking. I highly recommend this program, especially for working adults who want to combine travel with learning!
