From Curious to Conversational

The Taiwanese Mandarin course for people who've already tried and given up. Or who are terrified to start.

I got the best grade possible in middle school Mandarin. Then I dropped out of high-school Mandarin after three weeks - using the wrong methods, drowning quietly, too ashamed to tell anyone. I made my teacher cry. It wasn't my proudest moment.

Eight years later, I got offered a dream wildlife conservation job in Taiwan, helping protect and study moon bears. The catch? I'd be moving to the countryside, where almost no-one spoke English. I self-taught myself Mandarin. I learnt the wrong dialect and spent months playing catch-up. It was a rough start.

Less than 2 years later, I'd made lifelong friends, led mountain expeditions, learnt scuba diving & even taught statistics, all in Mandarin.

This is the course I wish I had. Taiwanese Mandarin, built for English speakers, taught by someone who knows exactly where you'll struggle - because I was once in your shoes. No native-speaker assumptions. No shame. Just what works.

    Who am I?

    Hi! I'm Jamie. I moved to Taiwan from the UK to protect & research moon bears & other amazing wildlife. After a rough start (dropping out of high-school Mandarin after 3 weeks & making my teacher cry), I self-taught myself Mandarin once I knew I was moving to Taiwan. After 2 years, I'd made lifelong friends, led mountain expeditions, learnt scuba diving & even taught statistics in Mandarin. Let me show you the way!
