Cheng Da, Chinese Language Center

I had a wonderful time studying Chinese here. It was easy for me to write this letter of recommendation.

Dear Prospective Students,

I am writing to recommend the Chinese Language Program of the Chinese Language Institute at National Cheng King University in Tainan, Taiwan. Previous to enrolling in this program, I have tried university night school, privates tutors and other language schools in the States. It is only now with full time classes in Taiwan, that I feel I am making real progress.

The enthusiastic teachers and professional staff at the Language Institute are dedicated to getting all of us speaking Chinese as quickly as possible. Although there is a lot of hard work for each student, both the teachers and staff know that a fun environment makes learning easier. We have field trips, parties and competitions to foster a sense of camaraderie among students, teachers and staff. The diverse student body of students from all over the world also lends to the excitement at school.

There are off campus dorms within walking distance from school. The staff has been helpful in arranging accommodations and negotiating discounts for Chinese Language Institute students. The community of students at the off campus dorms are also a resource for making the transition to full time study in Taiwan. The staff are also helpful in obtaining and renewing visas.

I had some trepidation about coming to Taiwan alone to study Chinese, but the school staff and teachers have made the process go smoothly. I heartily recommend the Chinese Language Programs here at Chinese Language Institute at National Cheng Kung University in Tainan, Taiwan.
