- Subsidised Adult Classes (TCML): Saturday classes designed for busy adults. Enjoy government-subsidised tuition, flexible roll-over credits, attendance scholarships, and practical conversational topics (travel, dining, daily culture). Plus, access exclusive recommendations for subsidised cultural study tours to Taiwan to experience language and culture firsthand.
