Is this you?
⭢ You can handle simple everyday conversations but struggle when topics become more in-depth or complex.
⭢ You don’t want to waste time—you want to learn phrases and expressions you can actually use when conversing with your Taiwanese friends and family.
⭢ You want to keep building your skills: recognizing more characters, having stronger conversations, and immersing yourself deeper into Taiwanese culture.
If this sounds like you, I’d love to invite you to join this program.
I've compiled my previous podcast episodes for you, complete with well-designed transcripts in pinyin, zhuyin, and English translation. Many students listen and learn while cooking or driving :)

their feedback about my material ---
"I love how you speak the words/phrases just slowly enough so that I can catch all the different tones, then bring it to natural speed almost exactly as I encounter in the wild.
I can't express how helpful it's been to have your worksheets available to accompany my daily practice. Having the English, Traditional Chinese Mandarin, and Pinyin (which I never actually learned, but helps me pronounce along with you)."

"Having access to the transcripts has been suuuuuper helpful for expanding my vocabulary and seeing how words are used in real conversation. I know there are a lot of teaching videos out there, but yours have definitely been the best I've come across"
