  • 11. Building Community in the Midwest & Beyond ft. Kelly Mosa
    Kelly Mosa is a Taiwanese content creator (recently naturalized US citizen!) who shares both funny and heartwarming content about her Taiwanese perspective on life in Minnesota and moments of levity in her cross-cultural relationship with husband Nicholas.Little could she have imagined how many people would relate to her story, turning her platform into a thriving community of people like her both on and offline - first-generation immigrants trying to adapt to a totally different culture/country, feeling otherwise stuck and alone - coming together to find a piece of home and a safe space to share their experiences.Since Kelly is not a Mandarin teacher but rather a native speaker willing to share her real story, we ironically learned some of the most "real life" vocabulary we've ever learned through recording this podcast - in this episode, you'll learn words like 人生轉變 / 人生转变 / rén shēng zhuǎn biàn ("life change/transformation"), 你不孤單 / 你不孤单 / nǐ bù gū dān ("you are not alone"), and 精神上面的支持 / jīng shén shàng miàn de zhī chí ("moral/emotional/psychological support").

  • 10. Interpersonal Relationships ft. Crystal Hsia
    A lot of us have started finessing our communication skills in our 20s and 30s as we work through our own self-growth in the language we're most comfortable in - English. And yet, when we want to apply these same skills of expressing our needs, setting boundaries, navigating conflicts with empathy, and other critical interpersonal skills in Mandarin, we lack the vernacular necessary to express ourselves fully in those contexts.We're so proud to announce that Module 2: Interpersonal Relationships & Dynamics from our new course Real You Mandarin: Self-Expression, is now live!

  • 09. AAPI Heritage Month From A Taiwanese Immigrant POV ft. Crystal Hsia
    Does Asian-American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month mean much to first-generation Asian immigrants who immigrated to the U.S. as adults? We explore the concept of the Asian-American identity with Real You Mandarin: Self-Expression course collaborator Crystal Hsia, a first-generation Taiwanese-American and Mandarin teacher who moved to the U.S. 10 years ago for grad school. How does she feel about Asian or Asian-American representation in media when it's not Asians from her own ethnic group?
