Embark on Your Chinese Learning Journey in Taiwan: The Perfect Choice


Whether due to personal or policy considerations, you’ve decided to come to Taiwan to learn Chinese—a fantastic decision! Taiwan uses traditional Chinese characters, and its phonetic system is distinct from the pinyin which most of the beginners were typically taught to . In this context, having a tutor who is well-versed in both simplified and traditional characters will be invaluable in helping you smoothly transition between these two systems.


More importantly, if your tutor can help you apply your Chinese in everyday life, learning will become far more engaging and enjoyable than simply relying on textbooks. This real-world practice will naturally help you overcome learning plateaus and accelerate your progress.


King is an ideal tutor. With ten years of experience training foreign employees in Chinese within the hotel industry, along with a lifelong practice in calligraphy, he seamlessly navigates both simplified and traditional characters. His approach makes the learning process efficient and enjoyable.


Choosing the right tutor is often the difference between those who can confidently speak Chinese after just one year and those who still struggle with grammar and pronunciation even after a decade of textbook learning. That’s why immersive Chinese learning with King at OC could be the key to unlocking your potential—allowing you to learn and practice Chinese in everyday life situations.


The learning methods and costs can be tailored to suit your schedule, proficiency level, and personal goals. Feel free to reach out for more information!

After years of teaching and drawing from my own experience learning Chinese, one effective way to quickly learn Chinese characters is to associate them with the “five elements” and the “five senses”. This method can yield remarkable results with less effort. 

let me take "water“ from “five elements” for example, "water“ radial has many shapes like: "氵”, “冫”, “雨”, now "氵” combination can have "江、河、湖、海、洋、洲、溪、波、浪、池、泽、滩" which convert most of the kinds of the water status. 

let me take "hand“ from “five senses” for example, “hand” radial shape "扌", the combination can have " 打、挂、找、把、搬、抹、抛、拍、拉、拧、抱、拷、拽、挑、挖、摇、掉、扫、捡、抬、 ..." according to the latest Chinese dictionary, there are over 350 characters use  "扌", of which are meaning different ways of hand movement or gestures relate to hand(s).
