    Planning to visit Taiwan this year or Are you currently living in Taiwan? 😍 
    Whether you're coming to Taiwan to travel, study, work, or live, I've prepared 100+ real-life Taiwan conversation templates covering everyday situations such as ordering food at a night market, buying drinks at a bubble tea shop, eating at a breakfast restaurant, shopping for clothes, checking into a hotel, taking the MRT, visiting a doctor, buying medicine at a pharmacy, going through the airport, and so much more!
    For each situation, I'll show you exactly what Taiwanese people are likely to say, how you can respond naturally, and how the conversation typically flows, so you can feel prepared and confident when speaking with Taiwanese people in real life.
    You'll also get complete Chinese pronunciation training, speaking drills, interactive role-play conversation practice, and a complete Zhuyin (Taiwanese phonetic system) tutorial to help you feel more comfortable, confident, and at ease in your daily life in Taiwan!
    The regular price of the program is $278 USD, but NOW! you can get 47% OFF, plus an additional $50 OFF with the coupon code EARLY50.
    (That means you can get lifetime access to the entire program for under $100 USD!😱 )
    Check out the full course details here: ⁠⁠14-Day Chinese Speaking Accelerator
    (The lessons are taught in English and are designed to be beginner-friendly. And if you'd like to walk through and prepare for the kinds of situations you may face in Taiwan, we'd love to have you join us❤️)⁠⁠
