Studying Chinese in Taiwan! My Life Learning Mandarin at National Sun Yat-Sen University (NSYSU)

Hey everyone! Welcome back to my channel. In today's video, I'm excited to give you a glimpse into my life as a Chinese language student here in southern Taiwan. From exploring the vibrant streets of Kaohsiung to diving into the world of Mandarin, I'll be sharing all the exciting moments of my day. So, let's jump right in!

Lots of people ask how I learned Chinese. Besides living here in Taiwan, studying in a Chinese Language School full-time has been my biggest help! I've been studying at National Sun Yat-Sen University's Chinese Language Center (中山大學 華語中心) for 6 months now and have had a great time.

Before deciding to study Chinese, many people wonder: "Should I study Mandarin in Taiwan or China?" "Should I live in Taipei or Kaohsiung?"

This week I answer these questions and give you a look at my daily life studying Mandarin at the Chinese language center here in Kaohsiung, Taiwan!

As the sun rises over Kaohsiung, join me on my first day of the new semester. With class just an hour away, let's grab a delicious Taiwanese breakfast and soak in the beautiful tropical weather that graces this part of Taiwan all year round.
