E#29 From Medicine to Addiction: How Opium Became a Common Trend in Taiwan | Opium Wars Part 1

這個節目將分享各種主題，包括但不限於台灣介紹，以及從台灣人獨特角度看世界的議題。主要以國語為主要語言，並提供實用的台語教學。另外也提供英文版本。節目適合已具一定中文能力或有一定英語程度的朋友的。對於會中文的朋友，是知識頻道；對於不會說中文，但有一定英語程度的朋友，是語言學習資源。每集提供學習單，助您學習國語或台語。節目更新時間: 每兩週的週一個別更新一個中文版本和一個英文版本。

In each episode, we'll explore various topics, from introducing Taiwan to discussing unique perspectives on different issues from a local Taiwanese individual. The podcast primarily uses Mandarin, with practical Taiwanese language instruction included. It's perfect for listeners with an intermediate or advanced level of Chinese proficiency. After each episode, I'll release an English version to help beginners or those who prefer English understand the content better. Study guides feature Chinese words in Hanyu Pinyin and Taiwanese words with Romanization and local phonetic symbols for accurate pronunciation, including transcripts, vocabulary lists, reading comprehension quizzes with answers, and reflection questions can be found in each episode description.
📅 Weekly Update Schedule:
•	(Bi-weekly) Monday: A new Chinese version will be released, and the English version will follow the next Monday.
•	(Bi-weekly) Friday: Vocabulary-Rich Episode | 生字充電站 will be available (on SoundOn/Spotify/Ko-fi) to power up your word bank!
