Gateway Chinese is an educational study abroad institution based in beautiful Kaohsiung, the jewel of southern Taiwan. We offer a wide variety of Mandarin Chinese programs ranging from our 2-week intensive program to our full semester or full-year programs. We can also provide customized private lessons with your own private Mandarin tutor. We cater to all levels of language proficiencies from beginner through intermediate and advanced. Veteran instructors motivate our students to meet their high standards by challenging them with relevant and accessible course content and pushing them to take advantage of using the language outside of the classroom. Official certificates will be issued by the university showing the number of in-class hours completed so that you can receive credit at your home university for time spent studying abroad. Gateway Chinese students enjoy a number of benefits during their stay with us. You won’t merely receive on-going support from Gateway Chinese student coordinators and staff, but you will attend free pronunciation and tone improvement courses to directly target these too often neglected and misunderstood steps in achieving fluency. In addition, we recruit local university students to meet up with you once a week to practice Chinese outside of the classroom setting to help you better connect with the local community. You will also be lent a Google Chromebook preloaded with spaced-repetition vocabulary review software and a subscription to the ABCs of Chinese online character learning platform. Our program fees include all of the above, along with course tuition, textbooks, accommodation, airport pickup, and weekend outings & cultural tours. It’s an unbeatable all-inclusive program for a great price. Special scholarships now available for Irish students. Please email us for more details.
