Great resource for learning colloquial Taiwanese Chinese

My wife is Taiwanese and I have lots of family and friends there, and I find Talk Taiwanse Mandarin with Abby an excellent resource for learning mandarin as it is spoken in Taiwan.

I am self-taught, intermediate level (about mid-HSK5) and the various episodes tend to introduce me to a fair amount of new words, helping me to expand my vocabulary in a way that feels very natural.

The language is colloquial & relaxed and sometimes quite fast, much like it is in real life. There are lots of episodes on different topics, so easy to find topics that interest me.

Thanks for your great work, Abby!

Perfect practice for intermediate/advanced Mandarin Chinese learners!

I’ve been learning Mandarin Chinese for a few years now, and I struggle a lot with listening as a skill. I try to use podcasts to strengthen this skill, but most I have found are either too slow/boring or too fast/challenging. Abby’s conversational style and varied vocabulary gives a perfect in between! She is also very engaging and personable, and seems to care alot about her listeners’ experience. Keep it up Abby!
