PROS and CONS of Living in Taiwan| Difference between Living in Taiwan V.S China? Subtitled

[@lu10735]

I just found your channel and am LOVING it. I've lived in Taiwan for nearly 3 years on a smaller island and definitely agree that Taiwan has made me almost too comfortable and soft. Haha such a relatable video. Taiwan is amazing!

[@MandarinWithMissLin]

Lucky! Glad to hear that 😊

[@lostandfound2024]

Sounds like a great place to retire. I have been to Taiwan twice for a short trip and yet I agree with what Jonathan said. I feel very comfortable and Taiwanese are extremely polite and helpful. Gave me the same impression with Japanese. I am learning Mandarin now just to be able to live in Taiwan one day.

[@MandarinWithMissLin]

Glad to hear that☺️💕

[@Alexis-co3qd]

Jonathan votre chinois est incroyable! Merci Mme Lin pour cette vidéo. J'ai commencé à apprendre le chinois mandarin il y a deux mois et vos vidéos m'aide beacoup.

[@MandarinWithMissLin]

Merci pour votre messageAlexis! Bon courage :) 加油加油 😊

Hello, I'am a filipino worker here in taiwan and work as a factory worker and i want you to teach us some factory worker mostly used words or phrases, it helps us a lot and since i do self study taiwan mandarin and practice pronounciation to my taiwanese friends.Thank You anyway🤗🤗🤗

[@ewoutlagendijk7385]

Though it's not exactly Taiwanese Mandarin, this video still looks interesting for you: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4HCmpuom7pprbM

[@beniology101]

Thank you💕 I love this listening practice! You both covered a lot of key points. Everything Jonathan said are things I guessed on my own even though I've never been to Taiwan 🇹🇼. He just confirmed my thoughts. Especially regarding the calm atmosphere, work, and safety. I'm glad he mentioned his female friends & their thoughts about going home alone & not being bothered. I would like to study, work, and live in Taiwan. So I'm really happy to hear the government is encouraging remote work. Hopefully their borders will open soon.

[@MandarinWithMissLin]

True! Glad it’s helpful! 真的 很開心你有幫助 😊

[@yaboy2501]

I've been living in Taiwan for a year and I can definitely attest to this! I almost forget that walking around alone in the dark back in America was unthinkable. Now I do it all the time! I agree with everything Jonathan said. It's almost too safe and convenient. It'll be realllly hard to move back.

[@ReReChan]

This is great! Please do more interviews like this. 😆

[@MandarinWithMissLin]

Will do more for you:)會的😊

真棒！這樣的語言交流讓語文更吸引更想學習讚！

林老师谢谢！这个学期我有汉语听力课，所以我要努力练习我的听力。这部视频对我听力真的有用啊~

Hi.Miss Lin i am from Myanmar. I learned a lot from your videos.....thank you

[@MandarinWithMissLin]

謝謝你 🇲🇲緬甸的朋友！Thank you friend from Myanmar! I’ll keep creating videos for you then 😊

[@ycchung]

Thank you, Miss Lin! Great content as always :)

[@MandarinWithMissLin]

謝謝你😊💗

[@LilacLofi]

Hello! 林老师 I've been following your channel for quite a some time now and I just came across this video and it was interesting and enlightening as always. I would love to see more videos about living and working in Taiwan. Because I'm about to return to Taiwan after a long time and I still can't grasp the idea of how is attitude of people there and stuffs. So i really hope you would do videos like these more in the future. Love you! 💙

Miss Lin, you should upload more conversation videos with foreigner (not native) like this. I feel, as a beginner, i can follow the conversation better rather than native conversation.

[@MandarinWithMissLin]

Glad to hear that. Amazing. 好棒！I’ve planned continuing doing that in the future. 😉Do not hesitate to share with other learners ❤️ 謝謝

[@xuexizhongwen]

It’s better to listen more to native speakers, though. Or at least foreigners with native-like pronunciation. His pronunciation is not very good.

[@Emma-qh8vj]

好棒的談話，他的觀察非常中肯！

[@MandarinWithMissLin]

子～ ～ 💗對的 中肯

[@theskeptictank]

Thank you for this - even though it is from years ago. I've floated the idea of visiting and maybe living/working there (especially if my work would be okay with this arrangement) especially when my friend tells me it is welcoming/inviting to foreigners who look into living there.

[@MandarinWithMissLin]

Glad it helps! ☺️

[@蔡冰冰-s5e]

好喜歡這個影片! 我也是一個在台北住過兩年的印尼人(我已回國:() 我也超喜歡台北的 我覺得很棒~ 就跟Jonathan說的一樣 住在台灣的壞處是台灣的生活真的會讓你太舒服 我回國之後對這邊的生活有時候會覺得很不舒服哈哈哈哈

[@MandarinWithMissLin]

謝謝你😊 對～ 真的滿自在的生活

[@yanglin8033]

I’m from Mainland China and my parents want me to go to the college in Taipei. I quite like the idea since I’m living in the US and I strongly miss the Han Chinese culture and specially the food haha 🤣🤣 But I’m also a little bit worry about how would I be treated since I’m from the mainland and you know, the political issues... I don’t really care about politics so I hope I can make a lot friends in Taiwan but I would like know more about what ppl in Taiwan think about us Mainlanders

[@hiimcortana1568]

as long as you don't really mention too much about politics, you should not worry. IF someone attacked you just for being a mainlander,that guy prob cares too much about politics and you can ignore him.

[@tiffanybackup3389]

I lived in Beijing for 4 years and have many Taiwanese friends etc. I doubt anyone there will bother you especially if you don't care about politics

[@Klstfcm]

Mme Lin, votre français est formidable !

[@MandarinWithMissLin]

Merci c’est gentil! 💗

It has a better salary than Indonesia though, while cost of living in Jakarta (its capital city) is way too expensive.

[@pfang100]

One question. I heard Jonathan mentioned that if you have a master's degree then you can work here. My son is a US citizen and is graduating next year. Does he need to get a master first to come work here in Taiwan?

[@Lobsang758]

Very good

[@TheFiestyhick]

Qu’est ce que tu fous là Jonath !! 😂 Nice video 👍🏻

[@tainantaiwan8629]

I remember as a beginner and elementary and even low intermediate Chinese learner I was really interested in hearing how non natives were able to actually pronounce Chinese. Now as a solid intermediate I try to avoid listening to it too much. The only white dudes I listen to now are Lele Farley, Chris 老炮馬斯瑞，John Pasden, and sometimes people that come on Voices of America, this channel, Mandarin Corner. Not to say this content isn't absolutely amazing, which is usually is on this quality channel, just as a message to the proud learners that will continue to conversational and even fluent: "it's super motivating to hear people who actually did it and got there, but try not to spent too much time listening to people who are inevitably butchering the language despite their best efforts." #FreeHongKong #BoycottMulan #GoogleUyghurs #我是台灣人

[@xuexizhongwen]

I agree. If you want to learn to speak Chinese with good pronunciation, you should listen to people speaking Chinese with good pronunciation. This guy is not one of them.

[@jeanmarccullard6983]

他一開始的答案可以把清楚嗎？ 我不知道否該是“久了”還是只“久”也可以。

[@xuexizhongwen]

她問「你住在台灣多久了」。他回答「我住台灣很久」。正確的答案應該是「我住在台灣很久了」。少了一個「在」還有一個「了」。

[@yadoliu]

一个很有意思的发现，为什么几乎每个外国人关于台湾的视频，总会扯到对比中国大陆？？正常的视频主住在一个地方只会说喜欢这里的什么讨厌这里的什么，而不会牵扯到类似地区的对比。台湾人到底做了什么让每个外国人去做这样的对比？？

[@MandarinWithMissLin]

Jonathan 之前住在中國喔，所以他比較他之前住過的地方。反正有比較才會激發思考嘍 ，我這邊，住法國瑞士邊界的人也會跟旁邊的瑞士法語區不自覺比較 ～

[@yadoliu]

@@MandarinWithMissLin 其实这个还好，主要是因为你问了一个问题。如果是台湾在住的就恶劣了。他们对比的主体出现了问题，不是说有什么目的或者单纯的猎奇，但某种内心的小期待是肯定的。这些外国人也很奇怪，他们本国也没有提供相应水准的便利，为什么期待这边给他们提供便利呢。

[@Mrs.miriam]

His Chinese is quite good already

[@lylana18]

I kinda disagree that Taiwanese are good in lining up haha. Maybe in Taipei, but in smaller cities some could a bit disrespectful and pushing others although people have been queuing haha. Just speaking based on my experience here.

[@erickhun]

🤩 so handsome

[@evaristclaver3708]

Over exaggerated

[@barrelrolldog]

To be brutally honest, i didn't like listening to this. I think his pronunciation needs a lot of improvement, it might be the french accent, i don't know, first time i've heard a french person speaking chinese.
