For me, rice is my favorite… or maybe I should say my daily staple! Lately, I’ve been having fun making Chinese-style rice balls filled with fried dough sticks, pork floss, half a braised egg, and preserved radish—so delicious! 😋 I also recently learned that some Jewish people like to eat Chinese food on Christmas Eve—isn’t that so intriguing? 😲 - What’s your favorite Chinese dish? - Do you cook it yourself, or do you prefer ordering it? - Any interesting food traditions you know? 📢 Let’s share and inspire each other!

Did you know there are two main phonetic systems used for learning Mandarin? Pinyin is mainly used in China, while Zhuyin is used in Taiwan. Here’s an interesting video that explains how these systems can shape the way you learn Mandarin. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNQC2F9zcYC/?igsh=ZzU5NjB0cmxyZWQ1

According to official announcements and media reports, Alex Honnold is set to free-solo Taipei 101 — over 500 meters high — with no ropes and no harness, as part of Netflix’s Skyscraper Live. Taipei 101 wasn’t built for climbing — it’s mostly glass, steel, and concrete, with tiny edges and overhangs between sections. This is now considered the tallest free-solo building climb in history. 😵‍💫 So I’m curious — what’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done?

This is an audio speaking practice. Please record a short voice message and share it in the comments. You can simply use the voice recording app on your smartphone or computer — whatever you feel comfortable with. Any audio format is fine (m4a or mp3). Just use your phone’s voice recorder. No need to be perfect — taking the first step is what matters most.😉 Here's the prompt: 🔉你好，我叫__________________。 🔉我是_______________人。 🔉你是哪國人? Example: 你好，我叫____Yu-Tzu____。(Hi, my name is..) 我是____台灣____人。(I'm... Taiwanese...) 你是哪國人?(Where are you from?) Let's start with something simple, you can always re-record if you want. Looking forward to hearing your recordings! 🎤😊

I am from United States, and I'm building community on Skool focused on connection, art, and self-actualization Something surprising you wouldn't know about me? hmm, I can't tell you yet. It has to be a surprise. I was interested in this group because Mandarin is a language I have been interested in learning more of. I am a NOOB, but at least I can learn bit by bit. Just being around the language learners to slowly learn some very basic parts of the language is enough for me to start 😊 I feel that languages are deeply meaningful because they are the way we literally transfer and communicate energy. So learning Mandarin is not just a technical process, but a deeper exploration into philosophy, culture and universal patterns. ✨ What draws you into learning Mandarin?
