📝Notes:
1.The Mandarin name of this series, "布聊天" (bù liáo tiān), starts with "布" (bù), which is a play on the word "不" (bù). While "布" comes from the Chinese transliteration of my name "Bryan" (布萊恩/布莱恩), it also puns with the word "不" (bù), meaning "not," and sounds like "不聊天" (bù liáo tiān), which means "not chatting." This highlights that the series isn’t just about random chats—it’s about sharing my thoughts on different topics, while Mandarin learners can use it to improve their listening, reading skills, and vocabulary!

2. Traditional characters are highlighted in blue, while simplified ones are in green. If not highlighted, it means they are the same in both traditional and simplified forms.

3. Pinyin in blue is the standard in Taiwan, and pinyin in green is the standard in China. If it’s black, the pronunciation is the same in both.
