If you're just starting to learn Chinese and aren't sure where to begin, I warmly invite you to join my Chinese speaking course. 😊

In this course, I'll guide you through pronunciation and teach you how to have simple daily conversations in Chinese. You'll learn how to order food, buy drinks, shop, ask for directions, visit the doctor, and even rent an apartment.

I'll provide easy-to-follow conversation templates for various situations, so you can start speaking Chinese confidently in just two weeks. If you're busy, don't worry—you can learn at your own pace. This course will help you travel more smoothly in Taiwan and open the door to making local friends and having great conversations together. 😊
