Back in June 2023- Book early as spaces fill up quickly
Now entering its Eleventh year(No Kids Mandarin camp in 2020/2021 due to Covid-19 Pandemic), Taiwan Mandarin Institute’s Kid’s 2023 Summer Chinese Camp is Taipei’s most popular destination for international children who wish to learn Chinese Mandarin in Taiwan during the summer months, every year. The Chinese Language camp available for any duration between 1-4 weeks will not only be fun and interactive, but by placing your child in a full immersive environment, ensures they will learn a lot of useful Mandarin and also begin practicing and using their new vocabulary almost immediately. During their visit to Taipei, children will absorb information much quicker than adults and with 16 hours of Intensive fun Mandarin each week coupled with minimal class time of the written element, your child will come away with potentially 200 additional words of Mandarin.

Visiting kids to  TMI Chinese Summer Camp can also expect:

90 Day Landing Visa – No endless trips to local embassy! Many students from many nations qualify automatically for the 90 day landing visa which is granted at the airport in Taiwan. Please check the list of visa exempt countries on our website and see if you are eligible!

Simplified Mandarin – The institute remains one of the only Chinese schools in Taiwan to specialize in the Simplified/Traditional hybrid format and uses pinyin (Pinyin is the Romanization of the Chinese characters based on their pronunciation. In Mandarin Chinese, the phrase “Pin Yin” literally translates into “spell sound.” In other words, spelling out Chinese phrases with letters from the English alphabet)

Class Level Assessment – Taiwan Mandarin Institute’s kids camp operates via three different levels simultaneously- This means that is the case of two siblings or friends at different levels, they can still go to and leave the school as same times of day as all classes start at 9am. Kids will be split into different level classes such as Beginner, Lower Intermediate and Advanced. Traditional or Simplified format- You child will be placed into the format based on your request. Regarding ages groups, we usually group together 4-7 age groups 7-14 age groups.

Cost of Living & Class Sizes  – It’s no great surprise to hear that the cost of living and studying in Shanghai or Beijing as steadily risen over the past few years – As a city becomes more popular for learning languages, then the class sizes increase to match demand- All children’s Mandarin classes at Taiwan Mandarin Institute will not exceed 12 person(s), which allows every child more opportunities for interaction and learning. Teachers can also provide more guidance, with this small class size.
