♡ Thank you my students!
"I started using more the PDF provided with the vocab list. I can tell you that it was really useful. The lesson doesn't feel hard anymore after perusing the vocab and a few listening sessions" --- Benjamin
"我在課程學會的詞匯真的很好用,像“宅”、“high翻”、“人設”之類的。課程的題目也很讓我瞭解台灣的文化,像月老,真的是跟台灣人討論一個很好的話題。所以我想感謝老師給我們準備很好用並很好玩的課程,真的是很辛苦你了!"--- 阿佳莎
"After years of studying via outdated dialogues or incredibly dry erudite articles, I had lost interest in continuing my studies. It was a breath of fresh air to restart learning Mandarin with Lin老師’s curriculum material. --- Kwong
"Miss Lin's course is incredibly helpful. I can study vocab and writing all day by myself, but there's no way to experience the full breadth and variety of everyday speech, replete with all the hindrances and nuance of daily life like contractions, slang, speed and mumbled phrases through masks, without going through a proper course with videos documenting and transcribing all these interactions." ---Hing Tong
🇹🇼 慶祝學生的進步
Celebrating Student Progress: Thanks for the Shoutout!
