Taiwanese Mandarin Dining Phrases + How I Lost My Job and Found My Passion | 1st Channel Anniversary

Описание: A little over a year ago, I lost my job and felt completely lost — but today, I’m sitting in a small Taiwanese chicken rice shop, sharing my love for Taiwanese Mandarin and local food with all of you.

Join me inside a beloved spot famous for cold noodles and Chiayi-style chicken rice, as I teach you real-life phrases and vocabulary you can use when dining out in Taiwan.

In this video, you’ll learn how to order like a local, discover key words to describe tastes and preferences, and get tips on important dining etiquette to avoid cultural faux pas. Plus, I share my personal journey of turning a tough moment into a passion for teaching Taiwanese language and culture.

Thank you all for supporting me through my first year on YouTube! If you’re new here, welcome — I’m excited to share more Taiwanese language and culture with you.

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! 👋
