超好用哦!🥰👍

Immediately purchased this phrasebook after checking out the free sample. The illustrations are engaging and the book is formatted beautifully.

I've definitely heard some of these phrases used in Taipei. Can't wait to learn all the new terms too and try them out in conversations with my Taiwanese friends!

Especially appreciate the inclusion of zhuyin alongside the pinyin, as it's something I've been slowly trying to pick up for a while now.

Beautifully illustrated, motivation to learn more

There's a lot os nostalgia and fondness I have for these prints. They make me miss Taiwan, and motivate me to practice my Mandarin. With pinyin, bopomofo and a beautiful illustration, they're conversation starters and art as much as they are instructional. Love these!

A phrasebook for the alleys of Taipei

I've lived in Taiwan for six years now. Danyo has done a wonderful job capturing the words or phrases that I hear all over the water markets, little alleys, and doorsteps of Taipei. I couldn't help but smile as I was looking at the illustrations.

Lots of my Taiwanese friends enjoyed them too. The idea of learning Taiwanese Mandarin definitely felt more applicable and personable than a distant Beijing standard.

I hope to see a paper or e-book version of the full phrasebook later this month. Great work!

A very useful and informative reference book!

Dan has done a wonderful job compiling a range interesting phrases and words that are highly useful to Chinese learners who are keen on expanding their vocabulary.

Appearance-wise, the book is clean-cut and very readable. There is just the right amount of information, so readers don't feel underwhelmed or overwhelmed. My only main criticism would be that the entries don't appear to be arranged in any specific order. Perhaps it might be good to order them in alphabetic order (according to their Pinyin pronunciation?) Apart from that, this is reference book that's definitely worth your time! Keep up the good work, Dan! 中文好难,但有你的那本电子书就没有那么难了!

Very useful phrase book for learning Taiwanese mandarin

I enjoy the visual in the book that helps reinforce the phrases and vocabulary that is often used in Taiwan. I like how it emphasizes on what specific words or phrases that Taiwanese Mandarin consists of. I do look forward to studying more words or phrases of Taiwanese mandarin if the author decides to make more books or some sort of content because I find it helpful

I love Taiwan! 我愛台灣!

First of all I really love the art in this e-book!! Great design and lots of helpful "Taiwanese Mandarin" appropriate for Chinese learners of all levels. If you are planning to come to Taiwan and are learning Chinese this is a great place to start.

Master of his craft

Perfectly structured and organized. Been following Danyo for a while on YouTube. There is so much great value he offers and this is no exception. 5/5

Highly recommend for all Chinese learners

I randomly stumbled across this ebook and I'm so glad I did. Learning Chinese is hard; it can be even more confusing when trying to decifer the nuances between mainland Chinese and Taiwanese Chinese (which I often still don't get). This ebook has made it extremely easy to understand the translations and cultural references of common phrases for all learners. My only wish is that there were more phrases included! Look forward to referencing this in a future trip to Taiwan.

all value, no fluff

Danyo clearly did his homework, he is a master communicator, you can see that throughout the sample phrasebook (value instead of fluff). If you plan to visit Taiwan, get this ebook, you'll learn the important commonly used phrases needed for foreign language learners.
