Hi, I’m Mavis! If you want to learn Mandarin the Taiwanese way and explore modern Taiwanese culture, you’re in the right place. 💡

I grew up in Taiwan until age 13, moved to the US, and later studied abroad in Japan. Because I’ve learned multiple languages myself, I know the gap between textbook drills and the lively, real‑world conversations we actually have every day.

On this channel, you’ll get:

✅ Native-sounding Mandarin: Practical phrases, slang, and pronunciation tips used in Taiwan

✅ Culture & trends: From night‑market snacks to the latest memes and social media buzz

✅ Hidden gems: Mandarin and Taiwanese words you’d never see in a textbook (think Urban Dictionary, but 🇹🇼 Formosa‑flavored!)

If this sounds fun, hit subscribe and give my videos a thumbs‑up. You’ll see that picking up a new language doesn’t have to be a pain in the butt. Let’s keep it relaxed, genuine, and maybe even a little goofy.

See you on the channel! 👋
