Just found your channel today and i enjoy watching your videos! Planning to take chinese course at NTNU end of next year after i get my bachelor degree , so excited!! :D
Thank you!! I wish you can grab the opportunity to study in Taiwan:)
Taiwan is such a wonderful place, so glad you chose Taiwan
Yah it sure is!!!
I agree with you Janet👍🏻👍🏻 😊
Your many uses of 'umhum' are kind of endearing.
Haha my habit...🤣🤣
Welcome to Taiwan 🤗
Hey i've been watching most of your videos on the univversity and i must say keep it up,i'm currently pursuing my bba in india but i'd definitely love to pursue my mba fron NTU.
Thank you! I wish you can go to Taiwan for MBA:)
As a taiwanese student studying in Germany, you make me feel : how come I'm here but not just staying in Taiwan 😂😂😂
nice channel 😍 wish you all doing well now 😊
Hahaha I really enjoyed studying in Taiwan. But I bet Germany is a nice place to study at too! Thank you for watching our videos:)
I've got my confirmation letter from NTU ..now I've to qualify the scholarship through the study plan.. please help me in writing the study plan!
Hey. Long time no see
Hi! If I remember correctly, you got a scholarship for NTU right? What were your stats (how was your application)? I’m interested in studying at NTU but I think I’d need a scholarship and I’m just wondering what my chances are. :)
Hello!! I didn't get the scholarship upon the admission. My scholarships for international students were in my junior and senior year. My GPA was 4.14/4.3 when I got the first scholarship.
But of course you can get the scholarship given to freshmen upon entry. You can apply for the scholarship when you send the application for NTU. I think 1-2 international students in one department gets the freshman scholarship(or maybe less?)
Hi. Thanks for these great videos. I am considering send my daughter to taiwan university for her study. May I ask you how much it will cost a year? It will be very appriciated if you can break it down like school tuition and living expenses. Thank you!
Hello! Thanks for the sweet comment! I have made a video about cost of living and tuition!
The video below may help you!

For me the dorm was 4900NTD(now it rose to 5100NTD) a month. Phone with unlimited data eas 499NTD. I spent around 7,000 to 10,000NTD for food and leisure. Mostly below 10,000NTD. Hope it helped!
안녕하세요, 우와 대만에서 가장 좋다는 대학교를 다니신다니, 공부를 무척 잘하셨던 것 같습니다. 조언 좀 부탁드리려구요.
외국인으로 대만대에 입학하려면 (우리나라 서울대 도전하는 것처럼) 학업 성적이 매우 우수해야 될까요? 아니면, 외국인 전형은 비교적(!) 덜 어려울까요?
대만에서 공부하고 있는 한국인 고등학생이 대만대 도전하려면 성적이 무지하게 좋아야겠죠? 대학교 홈페이지에서 요구하는 중국어랑 영어점수는 됩니다만, 넘사벽일까요? 대만의 대입시험을 보아야 할까요?
안녕하세요:) 입학 성적은 상대적인 것이라 정확하게는 말씀 못 드리지만 대부분의 입학생들이 고등학교 성적은 GPA 3.5 이상, 토플&HSK/TOCFL 성적을 가지고 있는것으로 알고 있습니다. 외국인 전형은 현지 대만 학생들 전형보다 덜 어려운 것 맞아요. 요구하는 항목들은 비교적 적지만 경쟁자들은 전세계에서 오는 학생들이라는 것을 기억해주세요~
사실 유학을 위햐 대입에서 가장 중요한것은 자기소개서와 스터디 플랜, 추천서인것 같아요. 여기에 성적&외국어 공인 점수까지 잘 갖춰지면 합격의 문이 더 활짝 열릴것 같습니다!
Hey Janet, hypothetical question. You are 18 years old again and you have to choose a university in Taiwan THAT IS NOT NTU. Where would you go? Would you consider NCTU or Tsing Hua University in Hsinchu?
When I choose a school to study at, I look at the international ranking. I think it's important to choose the school that is internationally more known. So if it isn't NTU, then probably Tsing Hua Uni!
한국인 이신데 영어를 정말 잘하시네요...! 영어공부는 어떻게하신건가요...? 어릴적에 해외에 계셨던건가요 발음이너무 좋으세요
반갑습니다!! 어릴 때 해외에 잠깐 나갔다왔어요ㅎㅎ
I would love to study in Taiwan, but I hate bugs. Does NTU do a good job keeping bugs away from campus? It is sub-tropical weather, so I'm worried.
As far as I know NTU sprays insecticide regularly. Also there are not that many bugs!! I haven't seen a single cockroach in my room for 4 years.
Of course there is a notorious one called 'xiao hei wen'. It's a kind of a mosquito but once you get bitten by it, you'll die from the itchy skin. But unless you sit on the grass, you'll not get bitten by it.
Do I really need to submit a chinese proficiency certificate for the department of foreign language and literature ?? The only thing I have right now is the toefl certificate and I’m not really that good yet to pass the recommended skill level for chinese.
It's not required(check once more for the required documents you need to submit), but what I found was now the professors expect you to have certain level of Chinese proficiency to understand classes. Plus, in the assignments you need to submit for DFLL, there are couple of questions you need to answer in Chinese and film that. So their expectation is quite high now.
I was actually hesitant at first since I thought that it was required , but when I checked it again ,its just recommended. Thank you so much for the help!! I’m hoping to submit my application next month.
I've always wondered why your English is so good. Did you study English in NTU?
Right! Her English is so good
Haha thank you! I started learning English since a long ago. My department in NTU involved a lot of English:)
I don't even believe Janet is Korean or can speak Korean. Her English and Chinese is soooo good. How can someone speak THREE languages so well??? Just kidding : )
she went to Canada in her elementary years
hello! I have a plan to study in Taiwan. I want to study information technology, but I have problem about which university should I choose and which department should I apply? I am an international student and can’t understand mandarin but I also plan to study mandarin too!
Hello. National Taiwan University, National Chiao Tung University, National Tsing Hua University are three schools in Taiwan that are internationally renowned. You should start from Googling 'Taiwan university ranking' and then look for departments offered there. We're not an expert in Taiwan Uni. admission, so can't tell you apply to which departments:(
Btw I think NTU has a department related to information technology.
Sweet Potato Island Taiwan thank you! I just found out your TH-cam channel and it’s help a lot♥️
Hi, do you know which courses arw taught in english in NTU. Am considering to study there as well as my friend. Thankyou!!
Hard to pick because there are so many! Just think most of the courses have substitutes in English😊
Wow,so it seems like you can speak Korean,Chinese and English.That's fantastic!May I ask how long have you learning English? Cause you speak English like a native speaker!
Hello!! Umm I think I started English when I was in kindergarten. But studied passionately from 3rd grade:)
@@sweetpotatoislandtaiwan7411 how abt studying in SK?
Hi! I have a plan to study in Nation Taiwan University. My major is language English. But I have a problem . I am in two minds that this school have language major. Please give me advice. Thank you so much❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hello, if you are thinking of majoring in English, you should apply for 'Department of Foreign Langauges and Literatures'. NTU doesn't have the Department of English, but the department I mentioned above is a similar thing. In that department, you learn about English, it's literature, culture and some other languages.
DFLL is also the department all of have majored in. But DFLL deals a lot of literature. So if you're not a big fan of literature, you should reconsider!
@@sweetpotatoislandtaiwan7411 thank you for an effective advise
I laughed at the last part “byeeeee” 😆😆😆
Hello Janet! I’m gonna join NTU soon as a PhD student. Since I wanted to start learning Mandarin Chinese from scratch, would you suggest me some books or online materials to start from ZERO! Thanks.
Hello! I would recommend you the TH-cam channel that teaches Chinese. There are actually so many channels that teach you from the basic level and some channels are much better than going to language schools. Go to the book store and buy the textbook with many short conversations, so that you can practice the actual speaking. Your first textbook should include parts for the alphabet(pinying) and tone.
If you learned the basic, you can try some online courses like 'Amazing Talker'. I've seen some people taking that. Also! I recommend you watching some shows from Taiwan or China! They really help you a lot. Like you can see the gradual improvement in the language:)
Hi, I am also applying for PhD in NTU next year. What is your research field?☺️
Swarnali Hello! I’m from biochemical sciences. Will be joining next year in March. What about you?
Ankit Tiwari I am from Biomedical Engg! I will be joining next March as well !What a co-incidence!
Swarnali That’s great! I hope I’ll see you there 😁
Hi! I want to ask ,what is major that you choose in NTU?
I studied in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures:)
Is it really difficult to get into NTU??? I mean can my application get rejected even though I have all the required documents??? And plz tell about how good my previous school grades should be so that I can rest assured about the admission in NTU.
Lots of luv😊😊
Although you have all the required documents ready, school might not accept you if it's not good enough. I heard that the high school(previous degree's) GPA should be at least 3.7.(but this is just what people think based on those students who got in)
If you prepare all the requirements well, NTU will definitely accept you!
@@sweetpotatoislandtaiwan7411 3.7 out of how much???
@@bivaroy9705 4.3!
@@sweetpotatoislandtaiwan7411 Thanks for ur help
Also u guys should upload videos more frequently bcoz it's really helpful and I just luv it.😊😊
Unrelated topic but your eyebrows and eyes reminds me of dahyun from twice
I just wanted to ask if the exams are taken in english medium or mandarin chinese? That is, do we need to learn to write chinese too? Thank you, in advance❤
Exams will be in both languages. You may ask for English exam sheet, but you don't have choices for some exams. Which means, you should be able to read and write Mandarin!
@@sweetpotatoislandtaiwan7411 So I curious how you managed your first semester there. Was it that your Mandarin listening comprehension wasn't that good but your reading and writing was good enough to take exams in Mandarin? It's beautiful to hear your story.....loved how you blossomed. Please keep these videos coming!
@@sweetpotatoislandtaiwan7411 thank you so much.❤ May i please ask you to research a bit more about the computer science and life science departmemt❤as both of them are entirely taught in chinese. Sorry for the inconvenience😊
@@muubie Before I went to Taiwan, I was already able to speak and read in Chinese because I learned Mandarin since 10. But it wasn't good enough to take difficult required classes in Mandarin:( So what I did was in my early years in Uni, I mainly took classes that have English exams.(Or those Mandarin classes only opened for international students) And then after I got more used to the language, I tried out for those classes that were fully in Chinese. Hope this solved your curiosity!!
@@chaitalishetty4890 As far as I know both departments have more classes taught in Chinese(of course exams too). But you can look for same courses that are taught in English. I remember seeing professor talking in English in some kind of engineering class.
How did you go about convincing your parents to let you go to Taiwan? Mine are against it
They were very supportive about my decision to study abroad from the first!
I'm wondering what is your department?
I was in the department of Foreign Languages and Literatures!
Btw where is Ashley? The last time i saw her is when she got injured.. 😉🙂
Oh! She's busy for a while!! She'll be back after about 3 months:)
how pretty+beatuty +sweetly girl you are !
So you did your bachelors in Taiwan too?
I did bachelor's in Taiwan!
@@sweetpotatoislandtaiwan7411 could you do a video about bachelor studies in taiwan, what mofa scholorship entails. About one year extra Mandarin course, also how will it be guaranteed that I can do degree program in Taiwan after I completed the language enrichment program? How does it all come under mofa itself? Also if I should apply for university first or scholorship first?
How to i will apply?
