If you are really serious about learning to speak Mandarin then it is probably the best choice. Other schools are probably much of a muchness. It probably depends on finding a good teacher more than anything else. If other readers have information or opinions maybe they can share them here. Mark,

ICLP’s program is intensive and expensive! If you are really serious about learning to speak Mandarin then it is probably the best choice. Other schools are probably much of a muchness. It probably depends on finding a good teacher more than anything else.

If other readers have information or opinions maybe they can share them here.

Would you consider posting on it? I've heard good things about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International Chinese Language Program" rel="nofollow">ICLP for both year long and summer Chinese programs</a>, but wanted to know about other schools in Taiwan before taking the plunge. Did see that you were at Shida before, but thought you might know what the "word on the street" is. Hi David, wondering if you had any thoughts on language schools in Taiwan.
