Who are we?
Mandarin First was founded in Tainan in 2017. Each year we bring students from around the world into Taiwanese classrooms and homes.
We are part of GOSTUDY Education Group, in international education
since 2002 across study abroad, language and overseas employment.
Why Taiwan
A place where Mandarin meets contemporary Asia.
Students encounter Mandarin in daily life — in shops, markets,
shared meals and everyday conversations. For first-time visitors,
Taiwan feels both new and approachable.
Learn the language. Experience the place. Bring the two together.
Why Tainan
See Taiwan through a city with a strong sense of place.
- Heritage streets and neighbourhoods
- Temples, museums and cultural spaces
- Everyday food and market culture
- Opportunities for local exploration
- A distinctive base for discovering southern Taiwan
