I'll be in Taipei starting May 22nd, and I'd like to do a two-week intensive Mandarin course, to be introduced to the language.
Can anyone recommend a school? I'm looking at Taiwan Mandarin Institute, but it's very expensive at 20,000 TWD for just a two-week class.

Taiwan Mandarin Institute is pretty bad. I seriously hope you avoid it.
How is it bad?
Not sure what you'll be able to learn in just two weeks, but you it's one of those things where you get what you pay for.
The Taiwan Mandarin Institute has a good reputation and the intensive classes are indeed intense. The groups are small. You might also want to consider the one on one classes as the teachers can see all the different aspects that you can improve on.
Maybe check out Taipei Language Institute? they have a summer camp coming up, not sure when, but you may be able to make other arrangements as well.
