Jennifer C., Mandarin Chinese Class

"As a second-generation Taiwanese American, not learning Chinese well was always a regret. After two years here, I can finally talk to my grandparents in Chinese. The teachers are patient, the materials are engaging, and I've reconnected with my cultural roots."

David L., Japanese Class

"Ms. Wei's class taught me language and culture. When I visited Tokyo last year, I could order food, ask directions, and chat with locals—the sense of accomplishment was incredible. Learning Japanese also deepened my understanding of Taiwan-Japan ties."
