[…] for another meet-up this semester is before final exams and reports start piling up, i.e. now. The previous meet-up was a great success, at least in my opinion. Close to a dozen people showed up and we discussed […]

In reply to Marcus Murphy.

Hi Marcus,

Such a post would indeed be very useful, but it would require extensive research done by me personally, so it isn’t likely to happen any time soon. The problem is that I don’t trust what other people say about schools and language centres, so I might have to go there myself to understand the different options. Schools often don’t allow outsiders to attend class, not even teacher trainees who want to check what’s going on (if you’re a foreigner, they think you’re sneaking in and learning Chinese for free, which is possibly the most stupid thing I’ve heard). I have studied at two language centres here, but that’s not really enough to write an article about it.

Best wishes,

Olle

Dear Olle,

Think you could do a post on how to explore study options in Taiwan, especially during the summer? It is my understanding that you are studying 对外汉语 as well, and given all your wonderful insight into Chinese language learning, thought you might be able to shed some light on this topic as well.

I have a Master’s in 对外汉语 from a 大陆大学, and currently teach Chinese in the US. Really would like to head to Taiwan this summer to further my focus on traditional characters. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your site is great!

Sorry, but I am stuck down in Kaohsiung without a dog sitter. I’ve been here since 1994 and only spent 3 days in Taipei.

I’ve actually spent much more time in Thailand and Japan, but I have explored the whole island over the years.

Let me know if you come to Kaohsiung. I’ll treat you to dinner.

Hi,

I just found out about your website and meetup. I am in Zhongli and would like to come. Can I be notified if I am not a Facebook user?

Thanks.

In reply to Maciej / Mathew / Maqi. No worries, I will probably arrange other meet-ups in the future! Thanks for the well-wishing, too!

Dear Olle!

I am very unhappy that I won’t be able to come from Taichung to Taipei this Saturday for the Hacking Chinese meeting – despite the fact that I was willing to do it so much, I even created a Facebook account especially for that purpose…

I’ve just learned about it, so I have now to cancel my
reservation, sorry!

På födelsedagen önskar jag dig full framgång med kinesiska, trevligt möte på lördag och en intressant rapport senare på bloggen.

Maciej
