To all of you who have been studying Mandarin for a long time,
Do you know the meanings of recent Mandarin slang terms like “好解” and “暈船?”
Well then, let’s give it a try!
What do the following three sentences mean?
1、這堂課很涼,我超推。
2、他暈船很久了啦,說什麼都聽不進去。
3、我看脆上說這間店大杯微微很紅,要不要點來喝?
Nice to meet you. My name is Shizu. I currently live in Taipei and am a senior-year student at the Japanese Language Department at Fu Jen Catholic University.
While talking with my international student friends at university, I realized something.
Even after many people become fluent in Mandarin, they still have one concern.
That is…
There are just too many Mandarin buzzwords and newly coined terms!
While commercially available textbooks may be accurate in terms of grammar and vocabulary, the phrases can sometimes sound a bit unnatural when used in real-life conversation.
In my lessons, you’ll be able to learn the following topics:
✦ Everyday Mandarin used by native speakers that you won’t find in textbooks
✦ How to never run out of conversation topics by exploring the latest music, TV dramas, and culture from Taiwan
✦ How to understand the “way of thinking” and logic behind speaking Mandarin, to reduce misunderstandings with native speakers
If you’re thinking, “I just want to speak Mandarin!”
I also recommend my “リラックス会話 (Relaxed Conversation)” course.
In my lessons, you can:
✦ Spend time enjoying casual conversation (I’ll only explain expressions that sound obviously unnatural)
✦ Have your lessons transcribed (provided for those who want to review after the lesson)
✦ I’ll also introduce hidden gems and tasty cuisine known only to locals!
During your trial lesson, I’ll suggest a curriculum and content tailored to your currrent level and goals.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me anytime!
