Offering access to an intensive Chinese language curriculum, small class sizes, and immersive local opportunities, your gap time in Taipei will result in significant critical language gains. With Taiwanese roommates that bring language and culture into your home life and a location that balances life in the city with quick getaways to nature, it won’t be long before Taipei feels like your new home away from home. 

Feast at one of the city’s many night markets. Invite your language partner to a temple for “suanming” (fortune telling) or find the best milk tea in the city. Watch a little league game after a relaxing riverside bike ride. Check out the vibrant music scene with your local roommate. And on weekends, board a train to see the rest of Taiwan or hop a flight to explore even further. Living in Taipei gives you all the benefits of life in a big city while offering easy access to mountains, beaches, and plenty of small towns to explore.
