I am in 10 hour a week program which means I am in class 2 hours a day. The school also offers a 15 hour a week program. A lot of people when they start out have to do about 1.5-3 hours of studying a day, it all depends on the individual, some people will need more, others less… You’ll find out pretty quickly what works best for you. I guess everything has been going good for me because all but my first instructor have been absolutely spectacular teachers.

The government plans to change the rules so that students have to spend 15 hours a week in class at all university-affiliated Chinese language programs. I do not know when this change will take place and if it will be 15 hours in an actual classroom, or 10 hours in a classroom plus time in a library or lab where your extra hours are logged. I have asked instructors about this and they don’t know either. Right now you are supposed to log 2 hours a week in the library or lab (if your visa-status hinges on attending school).

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

My name is Grace and I am currently residing in Indonesia. I am planning to attend ShiDa’s MTC this march.
I am just wondering about the course load in Shida. I was previously of thinking of going to FengChia because they actually offer 16 hours of class/ week instead of the just 10hrs/ week that Shida offer.
HOwever, since i’ve never been in a language school before, I am just wondering how heavy that would be..

How many hours you take per week now? and you’re on your 6th term.. meaning you’ve been there for 1 1/2 years? HOw’s it so far?..

Sorry, for bombarding you with this many questions.. I guess, I just wanna know what I am getting into before actually attend MTC myself.. eheh Sorta trying to prepare my mental.

Anyways, thank you.. and have a great day!

Mark [Wilbur]- I don’t think I would have been able to jump into this class without PAVC Books 1 and 2 [上 and 下] under my belt.

David – I know what you mean, the instructor really determines how the class is. I have been lucky, I have had four different instructors so far and all but the one I had during the first semester turned out great.

Scott – The Lucky Bookstore next to Shida [129-1 Hoping E Rd, Sec 1
(02) 2392-7111] sells all the textbooks that the MTC uses.

Could you please let me know where I might be able to buy it? Perhaps it is just available to students?

Your class sounds better.
