About Taipei Language Institute (TLI)
TLI (Taipei Language Institute) was founded in 1956. It was the first language school in the world to teach Chinese to foreigners. Founder Dr. Marvin Ho had envisioned “teaching Chinese to foreigners with the goal of promoting Chinese culture”. He has also published over 200 types of Chinese teaching materials with a total of 500 volumes on topics such as lifestyle, business, culture, politics, religion, technology, news, interpretation, children, etc. One such example would be the famous publication, Modern Chinese Cross-strait Dictionary. Its development took 6 years of collaboration between Beijing Language and Culture University and Dr. Ho before being published.
2005 - TLI trained (online) the Japanese staff for the company Mitsui Japan.
2008 - TLI Online Chinese School was established and began one-on-one Chinese classes with students around the world.
2020 - The all new TLI Park Online Chinese Learning was created. The mission is to build the most influential hub of global citizenship through the use of language and technology, and create a new perspective of the world.
TLI has always believed that the power of language has the ability to broaden horizons and perspectives on a global scale. Our wish, at TLI, is to use this understanding in order to promote Chinese culture around the world, with the intention of deepening everyone’s cultural relations by fostering understanding and integration.
