- Hey everyone! Welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'm excited to give you a glimpse into my life as a Chinese language student here in southern Taiwan. From exploring the vibrant streets of Kaohsiung to diving into the world of Mandarin, I'll be sharing all the exciting moments of my day. So, let's jump right in!
Lots of people ask how I learned Chinese. Besides living here in Taiwan, studying in a Chinese Language School full-time has been my biggest help! I've been studying at National Sun Yat-Sen University's Chinese Language Center (中山大學 華語中心) for 6 months now and have had a great time.
Before deciding to study Chinese, many people wonder: "Should I study Mandarin in Taiwan or China?" "Should I live in Taipei or Kaohsiung?"
This week I answer these questions and give you a look at my daily life studying Mandarin at the Chinese language center here in Kaohsiung, Taiwan!
🌞 A Tropical Start to the Day
As the sun rises over Kaohsiung, join me on my first day of the new semester. With class just an hour away, let's grab a delicious Taiwanese breakfast and soak in the beautiful tropical weather that graces this part of Taiwan all year round.
🚇 Exploring Kaohsiung
Living near the Xiziwan subway station, I'm just a short walk away from the university. Discover how convenient it is to navigate this city with the efficient subway system and the new green line light rail, making my daily commute a breeze.
🌳 A Tranquil University Campus
Step onto the university campus with me. We'll journey through a foot tunnel that takes us under the mountain, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature. The green surroundings and clean air make it feel like an oasis within the city.
🎒 Classroom Adventures
With my classroom all set up and my textbooks in hand, I'm ready to dive into my studies. Join me as I navigate through my lessons, including textbooks and listening exercises. Learn how my fellow students from around the world are drawn to the warm atmosphere and vibrant language environment of Kaohsiung.
🏖️ Beachside Bliss
After class, it's time to unwind and explore. I'll take you to the campus beach, where weekend activities like surfing and swimming bring the campus to life. Discover the stunning views of the ocean and the mountains, providing the perfect backdrop for my student life.
🍹 Café Escapades
Join me and my friend Shane as we explore a café with breathtaking ocean views. Enjoy a sneak peek into Taiwanese café culture while sipping on refreshing drinks and soaking in the coastal scenery.
📚 Homework and Progress
Back at home, it's time to tackle some homework. Learn about my daily routine, including how I manage around one to three hours of homework each day. I'll share my insights on the immersive learning experience and how it contributes to my rapid progress in learning Chinese.
💰 Living and Studying Costs
One of the questions I get asked a lot is about the costs of living and studying in Taiwan. Join me as I break down the expenses, from affordable apartment rentals to tuition fees. Discover why studying here is not only enriching academically but also financially feasible compared to other options.
👋 Thank You and See You Next Time!
Before we wrap up, I want to express my gratitude to National Sun Yat-sen University and the Chinese Language Center for this incredible opportunity.

![Why should you learn Mandarin in Taiwan [Part 1/3]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/DUr5ORWG8kU/mqdefault.jpg)
I got top in school for Chinese and after I graduated and did not write, I forgotten almost completely. I even forgot to write my own name.
I know what you mean! I stopped studying for 2 years and soundly write any more! Chinese is just really hard to learn 😅
Awesome video thanks! I'm seriously tossing up between Taiwan and China for my language study gap year, and your video really helped a lot. What it comes down to now is whether I can bear the tropical weather or if my preference for the dongbei accent is stronger!
Great video! Love all the shots of Kaohsiung, so nice to study there!
Thanks! It is definitely my favorite university campus I have studied at so far!
So beautiful environment. Wish I were there for study. Thanks for sharing :)
This is nice! I hope I can go here the soonest!
Thank to your video, it really help me with extending my options to go study in Taiwan.

Wow. The place you had coffee is where me and my boyfriend’s first date. ☺️
So romantic! It's like the perfect date spot 😁
I hope this time I can get the chance to study there😄 I’ve already signed up and I’m waiting for interviewing✨

Love this video. Really professional introducing the campus and everything
Thank you so much! We had lots of fun making it!
I really liked this video! Could you pls make more videos about studying in taiwan or maybe more about the city
Thank you! I think we will make a Kaohsiung travel video soon too. So many cool things to see outside of the campus too!
Love the video, I am planning to study mandarin in Taiwan next year, but i was quite affraid on how difficult could be, your video showed me how fun and relaxed can be! I wasn't sure if it was better to choose between the north part of the island or the south. definitely I'm going choose the south :) Great video!
You are so smiley and friendly. I love it. Thank you for your informative video. Xie xie.
Thank you! 😃
What are your thoughts on applying for exchange next year, regarding Covid?
I really, really want to go, but I'm worried Covid will not allow me, or at least ruin my experience...
Thank you
Welcome!
I'm considering places outside of Taipei because a lot of farms I want to volunteer at are down south!
Did you take any elective classes or participate in any NSYSU school clubs?
What other schools outside of Taipei would you recommend?
People have made comments that the Taiwanese accent comes up more in the South and there is more neutral speaking in Taipei. Did this really come up for you?
My favorite university campus!
did you just comment on your own video 😳
Hi. Your video really inspired me to learn chinese in this university. May I know what sort of chinese language progrom did u take? Did you enroll in a bachelor in chinese or did u take the spring/autumn/ winter chinese language programme? because I want to learn.. I am still a beginner but I dont know where to start. Hope u can give some advise
I only spend 440 US dollars for rent ,food and other per month, when i was a student of NSYSU last month.
Yea it's definitely possible!
Could you please tell me from where can I rent an affordable appartment near NSYSU?
天氣好好....

How do you find the Chinese language programs? Is there a recommended websites?
很棒的導覽
哈哈 看英文縮寫才知道
中山大學的英文名是孫中山😆
我們也是後來發現😂
這部影片看起來應該是比較早之前的時候拍的:)
繼續支持!
我還想說怎麼說朋友😂
都是近期拍的～
要是我先生介紹我的時候說:"這是我朋友"的話，我一定會怒火中燒，回家叫他跪算盤 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you so much! 😁
Hi! I want to enroll in the Mandarin course in NSYSU. Is the application process difficult?
👍👍👍
Hi. I'm planning on coming to taiwan to study Mandarin. Does Taiwan only teach Traditional Chinese characters or do some universities teach Simplified Chinese?
Did you receive the HES scholarship or did you cover all of expenses yourself? I just received a rejection from this years scholarship but still really want to study in Taiwan even if I need to save up and pay out of pocket.
Thank you in advance!
Hi ! Where did you find your accommodation? I am going to NSYSU in September but I am struggling with finding an accommodation there.

我也是中山大學畢業的~~
鳩都馬爹~~!! 06:36 這是獨輪車? 有人獨輪車在運動!!! 對不起!整部影片都非常的棒! 只是突然被驚訝到!
以前我也在高雄當兵，好遺憾當時沒有去中山大學逛逛，正好看這部影片，體驗一下中山大學的環境，真是太美了!
Jamie 幾乎每天上課都會看到那個獨輪車伯伯
獨輪車阿伯常年在中山附近騎車,我少說也看著他騎十年以上了喔!
@@Patriciahsieh 難怪這阿伯身材健壯，但是真的太少見了，驚訝到不行! 感謝分享。
@@jamie8812 哈哈,阿伯可以算是中山隱藏版,而且可遇不可求喔!因為每天都見到他,所以中山人已經見怪不怪,沒見到才奇怪了!XD
原來我們很幸運拍到隱藏阿伯😂
hi, i got 3 months internship in NSYSU but on campus accommodation is not available , how can i book flat for living, i will go on july 1st.
Hi Loren and Sheng! I am 27 this year and actually planning to study Chinese in Taiwan (From beginner level) in 2021. I wanna ask you guys about the application for full-time student as I'm planning to study Chinese for at least 1 year. Is it compulsory for international applications to take TOCFL test even when we apply for beginner level?
It is only compulsory to take the TOCFL if you get the HES scholarship. Otherwise, it's up to you! Let me know if you have any other questions. 😁
Did you go?
My opinion, I think Taiwan is the best place to learn Mandarin. No spying stuff, no annoying political party would make threats, and all those other garbage.
一看滷蛋就是很勤勞努力學習的~不會學那位李阿姨做不好的事
我寫論文時讓我變胖好多😭
@@loodanlive 不會啦！你現在不是很萌帥嗎？所以不胖
請問喝飲料的店叫什麼名字呢？？好想去唷！
那間店店名是"海角咖啡",也不難找
其實每一間景都不錯，我們是去“萊加呵”
小英好像是越南人，我之前有看過她的視頻哈哈
現在你還在台灣嗎？你說了course fee 27.500 ntd，可是現在我看了33.000ntd.請問現在在台灣因為有inflation價格就上漲了嗎？
😝😝😝
Excellent video. Stay safe and blessed.
When it hits my bank account, until then, who cares, for they will reap, what they have sown.
The above is the Stimulus checks.
Thank you so much for your excellent videos. Stay safe and blessed always.
FYI:
Disasters will and can happen anywhere, and it is more than earthquakes etc. Please enjoy each day!
WE never know when we will be destroyed, so just live each day, if it was your last, because one day, you will be correct. Obey God, and treat everyone, the way you want to be treated. Do not be dishonest or GREEDY, for God is watching all of us, and this is his world, that he allows us to live in for a limited amount of time. Be rich is good deeds, for stuff is just that..STUFF!
This moment you realise your country cost of living is insanely high lol
這是一所用我們國父孫中山名字來命名的大學，是一所很棒的學校，可惜有人抄襲論文，污辱了這所學校的名聲！
你承認來自中國的孫中山是你的國父嗎？
高明 孫中山是中華民國國父，不是中國國父。習近平已經說了，世界上只有一個中國，就是中共國。你敢說中華民國是中國，你就是台獨！
@@user-qs4fq6bf3n 廢話，你沒讀過歷史嗎？
你沒看到立法院牆上掛著孫中山遺像嗎？
@@user-kfCwFy7bBvyv 共產黨講的都是謊話，為什麼要在乎習維尼講什麼！
@@user-kfCwFy7bBvyv 不錯，有腦子的年青人，台灣還有希望，加油。
