I wasn’t even sure a podcast like this existed and was thrilled to find not only it did but was so well done and just fantastic at breaking things up into levels and digestible chunks. I like that there are parts where you can buy extras but listening is free and you can keep listening to things over and ofer again. Of course Taiwan is all about food and I love that many episodes have food themes. Great job keep it up!!!
With so little resources for learning Taiwanese it’s great to have a high quality podcast like this. Structure is really well planned out and is a joy to listen to. Good work guys. Hope there can be more content in the future
After a decade of living in Taiwan and having studied Mandarin in college and university in Taiwan, I decided it was finally time to learn Taiwanese. I purchased many books and borrowed elementary school Taiwanese textbooks to learn the language. In the end, this podcast has been my go to resource. It is approachable, entertaining, and incredibly useful. Beyond anything I’ve encountered, this podcast is the way to learn Taiwanese. My disappointment is that it seems Phil and Alan have gone silent... more
I grew in the US where my parents taught and spoke to me in Mandarin but not Taiwanese even though they and my relatives mostly speak to each other in Taiwanese! So grateful for this podcast - everything is well-paced and easy to absorb. Finally a clear understanding to phrases I’ve been hearing my whole life!
This is amazing please do not stop making new contents. I’ve learned so much from this podcasts! 😊
從小聽不懂台語,高中才開始在生活中硬學台語的我痛哭流涕
I bought the Short Takes book to learn Taiwanese and this podcast is great as an addition to that. As a Taiwanese who live in London and can speak Mandarin and English fluently with a little bit of an understanding of basic Taiwanese language, these medium are such great ways for to me learn this language and also learn more about the culture as well.
It has been very difficult to find Taiwanese lessons. These guys provide a very clear pronunciation of the language and well structured lessons.
I’m a first gen Taiwanese American and have been wanting to learn Taiwanese for awhile to connect with my grandparents,!but had nowhere do turn to. This is a great way to learn. Thank you!!!! :)
I grew up speaking Taiwanese at home. I live in the states and seems like not a lot of people speak it anymore. Thank you, thank you!

These guys are doing a great job teaching Taiwanese in bite-sized bits! It's great that they take the time to explain the intent of the words in real examples. Very effective learning! Thank you!
Even as a Taiwanese, I still learn a lot from your program, thanks!
Best channel to learn Taiwanese!!
