I’m trying to figure out where I want to study Chinese, and when I can/want to start. I’ve been looking through a lot of the posts here, and it seems to me that the CLD is a part of Tai Da, and that it offers monthly classes instead of three month terms. The problem is that I’ve got two URLS (http://www.chineselanguage.org.tw/ and http://homepage.ntu.edu.tw/~cld222/en/language.htm) that seem to be CLD, and I don’t know exactly which one is which.
The reason I mention monthly classes is that I would like to start in January, then take February off because my girlfriend and I might go to Japan for a couple of weeks during the Chinese New Year. Then I would start full-time, for the three month term in March.
Also, the first of the two CLD links I gave was drastically cheaper than the Tai Da link I gave.
No CLD is definitely NOT a part of Taida, it’s just a private language school. Unless things have changed a lot since I was there, but I really doubt it.
CLD (also known as Perfect) is closed and has nothing to do with TaiDa. A friend of mine (who was enrolled there at the time) said they closed in the middle of the summer semester without telling their students (and of course, they kept all of the money)…in other words, they “cut and run.” If you try to call them, you will notice the phone is disconnected. Maybe do some LE until Chinese new year is over?
