Then, I moved to 臺北. There, I worked part time and studied 10 hours a week at Shida. I did that for a year. Unfortunately, I wasn't saving any money, and I wasn't satisfied with the speed of my Chinese learning either.<br /><br />Now, I'm working full time and saving money. I'm really enjoying my job, since my students are making such great progress with their English. Eventually though, I'll probably take a year away from working and study at a top language school, like ICLP. When I first came here, I lived in a city with no language school. Then, I moved to 臺北.

Anyway, I really admire that you moved to Taiwan to study what you have a passion for. Are you working full-time and trying to study? If so, so you find you have time to even study on weekdays? Anyway, you have an interesting blog here. Your post about being a programmer kind of hit home. Anyway, I really admire that you moved to Taiwan to study what you have a passion for.
