Since Berkeley has a De-Cal program for Taiwanese, I'd suggest you get in touch
with students who have gone through the learning process. Most of them probably
have had some exposure to the language at home. Their website can be found in
this modest page I maintain: http://lomaji.com/info/books/English/ .Most native speakers, be they located in Taiwan or elsewhere, pick up the
orthography in their own spare time, usually out of a sense of curiosity about
furthering their mother tongue. Some learned it through the Taiwanese Christian
institutions, as part of a (dying) tradition of accessing the liturgical
literature in POJ. Now-a-days some grade school children are learning it in the
formal educational setting, in Taiwan, under a limited national vernacular
program.Commerical programs are also available. You might want to check out Taipei
Language Institute's website (seemy list). I am unable to vouch for quality,
however, having no experience with any of them. Last I checked TLI had a
program in California. These tend to have experience teaching non-native
speakers.Self-learning tools are currently limited or hard to obtain outside of Taiwan,
particularly those designed specifically for international learners. Some
textbooks are offered only to commerically enrolled students. But any major
American university library should have some references to get started.[snipped]
