elhelm2002 posted learning Islam and Arabic Language by Skype on the Taiwan forum on May 12, 2013:

I am an experienced teacher of Modern Standard and Colloquial Arabic and have been teaching Arabic privately to students for the last 7 years. I am familiar with a range of course books including the Samia Louis series of course books for colloquial Arabic which I know form the core course material used at ILI for courses in Egyptian Arabic. In addition to teaching I write a regular series of Arabic topics in Egyptian Arabic in the BCA magazine Cairo. I really enjoy this work: helping foreigners learn Arabic and understand our culture . In parallel to teaching, I've just graduated at the Open University faculty of "Dar al Ouloum Cairo University-Egypt" licentiate of - The Arabic Language and Islamic studies. Just let me know if you are interested. Skype Name: elhelm2002 Thanks Muhammed

I am researching international schools for my son who will start first grade this fall in Taipei. We currently live in the US. Regarding the last statement above, what are the "better options if you desire a whole-student approach?"

A reader replied recently with:

TAS is the leader of international schools in Taipei, but it is not for everyone. The academic expectations are high and greater variety of courses are offered in MS and US. Many students take tutoring classes to keep up with their home-country curriculum (particularly Korean and Japanese children) and to advance (test out of classes in the US).

LindaJohn posted Kao-hsiung City on the Taiwan forum:

We have moved to Kao-hsiung just over the past few months. I am looking for events or places to meet people also living here from abroad. I am meeting many local people and all very nice so would like to expand the friends here. Also, what things should I do and see here? And I would love to learn Chinese, are there adult programs for expats you recommend? I am living in the Qianjin District or near Central Park MRT. Thanks so much for all of your help. Is there a place on this site to find events or things happening in the city?
