Why This Course is Your Essential Go-To Resource?
Real-Life Taiwanese Mandarin
This course is crafted to bridge the gap between textbook dialogues and real-world interactions. You’ll experience the speed, accents, and nuances of how Taiwanese people actually speak.
"I wanted to know all of the quirky nuances of Taiwanese culture + language. You've definitely delivered! I love the way you explained dialogue afterward and include the transcripts. I find them so valuable!" — Cher 🇺🇸
After completing this course, you will:
✔ Tremendous Improvement in Listening and Speaking: Engage with natural conversations, mastering the rhythm, intonation, and pronunciation of native speakers.
✔ Daily-Life Mastery: From ordering to chatting with friends and family, you’ll handle everyday situations with ease and confidence.
✔ Cultural Fluency: Gain a deeper understanding of Taiwanese culture, helping you build rapport and communicate effectively.
✔ Speak Like a Native: Learn words and expressions common in Taiwanese Mandarin but absent from textbooks.
✔ Boost Your Listening Skills: Exposure to different accents and speeds will sharpen your ear for the language.
✔ Enhance Your Fluency: Mimic native speakers through provided audios, improving your conversational skills.
"You teach something most textbooks never cover - how to navigate daily life in Taiwan, which is incredibly hard to find! Now, I'm able to pick up and understand more from Taiwanese people around me." - Ken 🇺🇸
Authentic Learning 🇹🇼 Experience:
I’ve filmed and recorded everything in Taiwan, offering you an immersive experience as if you’re on a field trip with me. You’ll see how I interact with locals in real settings, with no rehearsed or fixed dialogues.
By the end of this course, you'll gain practical language skills and cultural insights, enabling you to interact with locals just like a Taiwanese.
Features:
🏮 100% Authentic Conversations: Watch real interactions and breakdowns of dialogues to understand every nuance.
🏮 Transcripts and Subtitles: Each video includes clear transcripts in Zhuyin, Pinyin, and English. You can also study with or without subtitle.
🏮 Taiwanese Minnan Exposure: Authentic Taiwanese Mandarin includes 臺語 (Taiyu); you'll pick up useful Taiyu words from my conversations with my dad.
🏮 Accent Variety: diverse accents, speeds, and word choices through conversations with local Taiwanese shopkeepers and guest appearances by my family. (Yes! I invited them to film the lessons as guests for you.)
🏮 Culture and Language Pause (commentary): In each real conversation video, I pause at key moments. During these pauses, I give clear explanations about sentence structures, usage of end-particles, vocabulary, and insights into Taiwanese culture. This approach helps you not only learn the language but also understand the cultural context in which it's used.
🏮 Bonus Listening Practice: I explain language and culture insights entirely in Mandarin! This provides you with additional listening practice. Don't worry, I use elementary spoken Mandarin, making it a stress-free experience and totally immersive. If your level is more advanced, study the transcripts as reading practice.
★ Course Suitability ★
To get the most out of this course, I recommend it for the following types of learners:
📌 Learners from high beginners to intermediate learners aiming to master everyday conversations in Taiwan.
📌 Anyone struggling with real-life listening and fast-paced speaking.
