LEARN TAIWANESE MANDARIN
About this episode

This episode is called “Do you ever?” It's a funny conversation between me and 小顏 about strange habits which we don't often talk about, but which I think many of us do. It probably will be divided into 3-4 episodes as it's too long! Let’s see what happens in terms of the language that comes out. What filler words do we use? How do we link words in Chinese when we speak quickly? How "lazy" 家榆's tongue beomes when talking to friends in a casual way?
