關於我們

The first Taiwanese association in the Czech Republic

We teach Mandarin to adults and children, in traditional characters, the way they are written in Taiwan. All our teachers are Taiwanese.

We are a non-profit organisation. We support mutual help among Taiwanese living in the Czech Republic, cultural exchange between the two countries and the good name of a democratic and free Taiwan.

Taiwanese living in Prague founded the association in June 2019 with the support of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office. We run the first Mandarin school for children in the Czech Republic, the Taiwan Center for Mandarin Learning (TCML) for adults, a library and festival workshops open to the public.
