Discover the Joy of Learning Mandarin

I’d love to share a bit about my language journey with you. Born and raised on the beautiful island of Taiwan, Mandarin is my native language. My experience learning English from a young age shaped my perspective on language learning—it should be engaging, immersive, and, most importantly, enjoyable.

Finding the right learning environment can make all the difference. I still remember my mother’s determination to find an English school that wasn’t just about rigid memorisation but encouraged real communication and curiosity. That journey showed me that the key to mastering a new language is not just study—it’s experience, interaction, and enjoyment.

This belief is at the heart of Play Mandarin TCML. Learning Mandarin as an adult can feel like a challenge, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Whether you’re learning for travel, work, cultural appreciation, or personal growth, our approach is designed to make Mandarin accessible and engaging.
