Love this! I can’t wait to go back to Taiwan too! Ughh... Glad Taiwan is the gold standard for fighting against COVID19. Their numbers are incredibly low so healthy people should be reassured.
I was scheduled to be in Taiwan this week but due to Covid-19 I had postponed it to September (keeping fingers crossed). I agree that Taiwan is probably the nicest country I have visited, locals are amazing friendly and food is super delicious!
I would replace "Ting bu dong" (don't understand) with "Deng yi sha" (wait a moment). If you don't understand, you can just shake your head and say "I don't understand" in your native language and everyone will get that you don't understand. "Wait a moment" is useful when you don't understand and you want to get your phone to check something, or you need time to think (which happens A LOT when you're in a foreign country) sometimes you just need to get out some money or something, but the person you're talking to doesn't know if you've given up or what you're about to do.
I appreciate that you kept the phrases as simple as possible. For example you gave us the word for bathroom on its own rather than a full sentence about the bathroom. Although I'd love to be able to say complete sentences, realistically I'll be happy to just get one word out. Thank you!
Hi. Are you taiwanese? I live in NYC but I’ve been to Taiwan at least 6 x. Arghh. I already booked my ticket to Taiwan for this July which is now in jeopardy. Anyway, I agree. Taiwan is super friendly place. And food is incredible!!
Been to Taiwan twice and i never had to learn a single mandarin coz everyone i interacted with understood english. I wish this corona virus would go away soon so that i could comeback to taiwan. I miss the night market food!!
Yeah. Last time I was there: "Boba" isn't even a word in Taiwan. What we would refer to as "Boba milk tea" is "Pearl milk tea (or 珍珠奶茶/ jen ju nai cha)" and they are usually sold in tea stores
Thanks for watching, friends! Let me know if you want to learn more phrases! :)
What's the hardest one to say from this list?
Thanks hope you are fine ?
U make learning a new language seem easy, the way u teach is so straightforward, just love it ‼️
Aw thank you!
0:09 I had a good laugh there! 🤣🤣🤣

Yes! They started preparing early and that was definitely a smart choice.

Been to Taiwan so many times and it is THE BEST place on the planet. These are great ones to remember!

I'm half Taiwanese :) I had a trip booked to Taiwan in March and that was canceled. I feel you!
Jasmine Pak Half Taiwanese? Are you indigenous Taiwanese?

In the future. Some people might visit taiwan. Of course now everyone shouldn't travel abroad to any country.

I have nwver heard anyone say Boba店 in TW🤔
Yeah. Last time I was there: "Boba" isn't even a word in Taiwan. What we would refer to as "Boba milk tea" is "Pearl milk tea (or 珍珠奶茶/ jen ju nai cha)" and they are usually sold in tea stores
手搖飲料店 that’s how we call it
You forgot to teach how to say everyone’s favorite Chinese phrase: “That”…
UwU I am going to use the advice
nice. heading to taiwan in 2 weeks. i think you should teach us the most useful sentence : "i dont speak mandarin" xixixi
She seriously needs to speak slower! I love how easily she's teaching but needs to slow down for us who have hearing problems.
You can change the Playback Speed to a lower setting to make it slower
I really thought Jasmine is Korean because of her surname.
half Korean and half Taiwanese :)
She def has Korean features, but a “Chinese” nose. But I love that she’s part Taiwanese too! I have a special place for both those countries.
wtf are these chapter titles lmao
Love you bitc#
Dead channel. Didn't know BuzzFeed was still a thing after all the toxic femininity. Either way, cool vid I love Taiwan
UwU I am going to use the advice
Why are you like this
