Key Points: 相信過程Trust the process❤️ Mindset shift: Mandarin learning requires a different approach compared to Romance languages (Italian, French…etc). No longer obsessed with speed. Core value: Emphasizing the time needed to learn a language; it's a marathon, not a sprint. Prioritization: Tie studies to daily events, not specific times. Consistency: 30 minutes a day. But even 10 minutes daily adds up. Resources: Create own vocabulary decks; utilize UA-cam vlogs and podcasts for context-based learning. Enroll in a Taiwanese Mandarin course for comprehensive and structured learning and regular review. Practice: Emphasize repetition and mimicking in listening and speaking. Tones: Important to be aware of different tones but TRUST YOUR EARS, focus on mimicking initially. It takes the pressure off especially for beginners.
Thanks for the Skritter shoutout, Robin! Huge fan of doing the hard work and putting in the work of making custom study decks and notes on your own, too :)
honestly, it would be much better if you did these sort of podcasts in Mandarin. What is the point of doing this in English in a Chinese learning channel
I am having a very hard time trying to find resources that teach taiwanese hokkien :( do you know of any that do online lessons or anything that tries to preserve the language?

我要问，台北人用林北就像我生气的时候一样吗？我的朋友告诉我他们用那个词时候生气
This makes me feel so depressed
Why does this make you feel depressed? Don't be sad! ☀
Yeah this is not realistic. This doesn’t apply to the average learner
Are you saying that the methods / journey I described are not realistic to the average learner? What makes you say that?
