Hey everyone, I'm Grace Guo from Taiwan, currently studying in a graduate program (teaching Chinese as a second language) at NTU.
In this channel, you'll find linguistic insights into learning Mandarin Chinese as well as Chinese learning tips and resources! My videos include both traditional (black) and simplified (blue) characters for your reference.

Hi teacher I also subscribe you because you are very hardworking teacher. I am a student of high school. I want to learn Chinese. I want to learn how to say family members etc Please make a video for it 😊
I love this video sm with speaking in Chinese the whole time! It’s the perfect level for me and the Flashcards are great. Pls continue the series :))❤️ thanks for your hard work!
Im not a native Spanish speaker. However understanding Spanish and french with my metis background and heritage makes it so that even though i don't natively have that dialect, it's really easy to interact with spanish people. I am proud to be Metis. Thank you for you and your time and Care. Im looking 🧡
Thank you!! I learned " " traditional " " singing of opera (+ballet) and punk rock. I learned opera sounds and ballet when i was really little. The end of your video will continue to be most helpful. I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing the visual pieces of what your sounds are like.
Great content, love the explanation on how to reply yes/no (close ended) question with inclusion of simplified, traditional, pinyin and even zhuyin (bopomofo) on the explanation. Keep it up on making great content
As an American learning Chinese this has been soooooo frustrating for me. Thank you very much for this video! I was just discussing this with my kids. 😂😂😂I wanted to show off and answer back yes in Chinese and i couldn’t after months of study! 谢谢再见❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah, in research papers, they call this the "echo answer/echo answer system", which means that people use repetition to answer questions. It appears in other languages as well.
Observation: people in Taiwan seem more willing to stand in line for a long time for things! I have difficulty reconciling how given how busy people are and the average incomes people have, people can afford the time and money to do many things in Taiwan. 1:18 I think the receipt lottery idea is a great idea and would help countries keep businesses more honest about reporting revenue for taxes. 3:07 7-eleven definitely provides many more services in Taiwan! I wish the ones in the US had more financial and mail services. 4:37 Have more people in Taiwan been carrying around larger insulated water containers such as Yeti and Stanley-branded tumblers? Would be great to always have ice cold beverages on the go, and avoid the health issues and cost! of buying so much milk tea 5:30 I never noticed this! Do people do the opposite and put a 不乖 where they don't like someone? 6:19 Definitely more convenient to not have to bring garbage to the garbage truck! Unless things have changed, don't people need to buy special garbage bags too? More convenient to have garbage trucks pick things up at your house or building, though I could see how people bringing out garbage could save the town money, decrease outdoor pests that eat trash, and motivate people to generate less garbage.
老師， I've noticed in Taiwan a lot of questions are answered with 有 even if the question isn't a 有 / 沒有 type question. I've heard this is related to 臺語 grammar in some way, is this correct?
I'm not sure if it's solely related to Taiwanese, but it is likely connected. In Taiwan and southern China, “有” is often used as an auxiliary verb to express completion or experience, so when answering whether we've done something, we often use it:)
