What makes humans different from other animal species? One key aspect, which can be called out is our ability to conversate. Our language has become the basis of all our conversations and all-around developments. One might say, it is the key to our world. And now, with the world being connected and growing virtually closer, people are moving towards learning everything they can, especially other cultures and their values.
So, if you are working in Taiwan and want to enhance your language skills, or traveling down there, or even curious to learn or improve Chinese understanding, and immerse yourself fully into Taiwanese culture, then The Knowledge Review recommends getting yourself enrolled at ShuoHao Language Center.
The next obvious question is how do you learn Chinese? The most important part of learning is ‘Speaking’. Most times, textbooks and schools can teach the basics of everyday Chinese. However, in day-to-day and work-life scenarios, learning the true and authentic country language is a must. This is what you receive when you enroll at ShuoHao and obtain a lot of chances to speak within the small courses or in one-on-one classes that the school offers.
The name ‘ShuoHao’ truly describes the school’s purpose. Shuo 說 means ‘speaking’ or to ‘say’ and Hao 好 means ‘good’ or ‘well’. Therefore, the school serves the motive of speaking Chinese confidently and fluently. It is also aiming to reach the goal of effective communication while teaching in a convenient environment.
