Acerca de esta escucha
In this episode, we're joined by Angela's "Real You Mandarin: Beginnings" course co-creator and Taiwan-based Mandarin teacher, Jane Liu.
We're talking about dating culture! What does it look like in contemporary Taiwan and how does that differ from our dating culture in the US?
Although the apps are prevalent in both parts of the world, Taiwanese culture still tends to be more conservative - for example, many people still have expectations around "告白 (gào bái)" or "confessing" your feelings towards the other person and formally asking to be in a relationship with them, vs. in the US we have a similar though different practice of "defining the relationship."
Let us know in the comments or on social media what you thought about the episode and/or your favorite new vocab word you learned!

Editor's Note: We made a mistake with the vocabulary word referenced between 11:23-11:25 - the correct phrase is: 掙扎 zhēng zhá, which means "to struggle (with)"
