it can be explained by the fact that long ago many educated people escaped from Mainland to Taiwan in order to live safely… they preserved and developed high level of culture, speaking standard Chinese language in spite of the fact there are different dialects in different areas of China

finally, you can learn basic syllable transcription (pinyin) and use it to learn the language while communicating with some Taiwanese on-line… learning Traditional characters is a hard task for a beginner

I was wondering if anyone could recommend any language learning software that uses a Taiwanese accent instead of a Beijing accent because I'm afraid I might start mixing accents or adding in my own incorrect pronounciations. I haven't had much formal instruction in Chinese and I'm mainly trying to increase my vocabulary and reading and writing ability at the moment (I know very few characters). Thanks for any suggestions. Chinese language learning software with Taiwanese accent?
