我可能可以把最後一點解釋得更清楚一點。先說明一下，我不是在說台灣人做得更好的三件事是美國人完全不做的，或者美國人做得更好的那件事在台灣完全沒有。關於最後一點，我覺得我們美國人有一點優勢，因為我們是一個移民國家（當然，原住民例外）。這意味著我們一路上必須做出一些選擇。雖然我們有自己的問題，但我覺得我們通常是一個蠻友善、包容的地方。不過，這只是我的個人意見！我很好奇你們對這一切有何看法！ I probably could’ve explained that last point better. Just to be clear, I’m not saying the three things Taiwanese do better are things Americans don’t do at all, or that the one thing Americans do better doesn’t happen in Taiwan. About that last point, we Americans have a bit of an advantage because we’re a country of immigrants (except for Native Americans, of course). That means we’ve had to make some choices along the way. Even though we’ve got our problems, I think it’s nice that we’re usually a pretty welcoming place. But of course, this is only my opinion! What are your thoughts?

It's because the majority of Taiwanese practice the true and authentic Confucianism of Ancient China, every day of their daily lives.

That’s amazing! 👍👍👏👏

在台灣是有言論自由的.當然能客觀而公平的評論更好.反正你就做看看.並從評論中學到經驗.祝福你成功.向1000訂閱者邁進.

Note that the textbook in the thumbnail is a history book printed in Taiwan in the 1990s. 請注意，縮圖中的教科書是 20 世紀 90 年代台灣印刷的歷史書。

了解自己的文化遺產很重要。從我多年的中文學習以及與台灣和華人傳統的互動中，我發現我需要做更多的事情來了解我的傳統！Connecting with one’s roots is important. From my years of Chinese language studies, and my interactions with Taiwanese and Chinese cultures, I realized I need to do more to learn about my heritage!

Well, no even native Chinese speakers can have difficulty with the 2 different styles. I'm a native Chinese speaker born in HK many decades ago and so I was taught the traditional written style. More often than not, I cannot understand what the simplified Chinese characters are if I just so happen to pick up a written communication written in mainland China. Personally, the simplified Chinese characters are just an abomination.

If you learnt to drive a car in manual transmission, you can most definitely drive in auto as well. However, the opposite cannot be said to be true. Then again, some people only want to drive an auto so they won't have a problem. Yet, they're missing out on the unique pleasure that only a manual car can provide.

That's an interesting point. In natural languages, redundancy isn't necessarily a negative thing. it is not limited to characters and languages, but to human's information processing in general. I'm Japanese, so of course the traditional hanzi are more easier to understand, but I kind of like the simplified hanzi too. By being expose to multiple variants, I feel that I can better understand the core essence of the Hanzi system.

任何人當然都可以談論台灣，通常會以“你是外國人沒資格談論台灣”的這種人都是政治立場不同或觀點不同，所以他們只能用這種粗暴的言語來攻擊你😊⋯⋯ 我也會使用這種攻擊語言對待中國人，哈哈⋯⋯因為他們是來認知作戰的😅

These are only a few examples. Have any of you had any experiences with Taiwanese which impressed you?

I think the question as to whether it helped improve literacy is a bit more difficult than simply looking at the rates in HK and Taiwan. Those are relatively tiny samples compared to Mainland, and there may be other factors in play that might affect education across these areas. It's difficult to make generalizations about a country the size and twice the population of Europe. Basically I think it's hard to say it did help or it didn't, or if literacy would be better or worse in Mainland had they not switched regardless of the rates in HK and Taiwan. But the point about the disadvantages still holds even if it's hard to quantify the advantages. One good reason to expand to learning traditional is that we typically see traditional characters in the US, which for American learners is what we'll encounter most of the time.

Ultimately, you should learn both sets of characters (as I did), but I DO have my preference, at least for non-native speakers! What are you learning right now? Whatever it is, keep it up!

我們外國人有很多可以向台灣 🇹🇼 學習的地方，特別是向台灣人民學習。我自己還在學習的過程中，但我很高興能夠分享那些給我深刻印象的事物。有時候，我會提出一些觀點，這些觀點不一定每個人都認同。但我希望這些討論能激發思考，最終讓我們大家都能獲得新的見解！There’s so much we can learn from Taiwan 🇹🇼 , and from the Taiwanese people. I’m still on that journey of discovery myself, but I’m excited to share the things that have left a lasting impression on me. Sometimes that means offering my perspective, which may not always resonate with everyone. But my hope is that it sparks thoughtful conversations, and in the end, we all walk away with new insights.

Adding the sevenths gives it a more melancholic feeling, in my opinion. Definitely prefer it.

Sorry--I know the piano is out of tune. The tuner is on his way!

🇹🇼 台灣人所說的是「 #台灣華語 」。

This works starting on ANY note. Just follow the formula! 😊

@benjaminmyerscello - They are known as Han Taiwanese.

Politics aside. Saying Taiwanese people are Taiwanese Chinese is so wrong because we got a lot of indigenous people who have no Chinese blood whatsoever, and Chinese culture is definitely the major but only one of the many cultures in Taiwan. No offense here just state the fact. 😅

請注意，我想避免政治評論和討論。感謝大家的理解！我希望大家能夠理解在這個影片中，我的目標是推廣台灣🇹🇼 和台灣人！懇請大家在留言之前先看完整個影片，這樣就會明白我有多愛台灣和台灣人！Please keep in mind that I want to avoid political commentary and discussion. Thank you all for your understanding! I hope everyone realizes that I am promoting Taiwan and Taiwanese people in this video! I humbly ask that you please watch the whole video before commenting-that way, you’ll understand how much I love Taiwan and the Taiwanese!😊

Bro thinks he mccoy tyner 💀💀

Will most def use this

No need for the music--it's only distracting. Cheers.

This feels very Miyazaki. Pretty cool!

those are grace notes...

What other layers can you find in the Music you’re working on? 🤔😊

I’ve included some of my best strategies in this video! Let me know what you think, and if you have others that work for you! And if you’d like to know how I learned Chinese, check this video out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iaDLkJ6eqbCasLssi=CpEkZvM610LobEU1

is there more than one of the scales and how to locate alll them like what pattern

杜普蕾 馬友友 羅斯卓波维奇 Pablo Casals

There are many types of pentatonic scales-this is just one of them. 😊

You’re a musician, pilot, and speak Chinese?! That’s freaking awesome.

Allowing yourself to move (naturally) will really help prevent tension from building up, and will open up your sound. Use more bow than you probably think you need, and add in a good vibrato (see my other shorts on this), and you'll be unstoppable!

如果你們想問有關美國留學的任何問題，請在評論區留下問題！😊 If you have any questions about studying in the United States, please leave them here in the comments section! 😊

Thank you, but oof, get your piano tuned.

The melodic and the something or other and second and third but except after e and you’ve lost me miles ago lol

thank you

馬乾 is a smart guy definitely 😂❤ Chinese characters are really tough indeed 😊

this is reeeally helpful, thank you

這邊電影很好看

謝謝我最棒的學生：）

Good suggestions to learn Chinese fast!, fully agreed.

Hi 馬乾,你好,你的中文說得很好,你是來台灣學的嗎 ? 幸會.

Thank you Mr Myers❤ , but I believe obtuse egotism is not exclusive to Americans. 😂

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

Welcome friendly you and your families come visiting Taiwan often

I'm curipus, do you know where this convention in alphabetical order using letters for the notes come from? As when I learned piano here I've only been taught Do, Re, Mi, Fa, Sol, La, Si

If the note in question functions as a flat 5th in a chord like A7b5 wouldn't you still write it as an Eb rather than D#? And in an A7#11 (functioning as a tritone sub in the key of Ab), wouldn't that be written as D#?

Wow~ It seems you know much about Taiwan! Welcome back to Taiwan anytime! There's still lot to explore in nature、culture、foods....The traffic is convenient and Taiwanese people are helpful. It's easy to travel around this beautiful island. ❤❤❤
