Taipei Tweetup + Cai Guo Qiang's Art Show

DateSaturday, January 23, 2010 at 11:54AM

Yay! School is finally over! This was my first week of the winter break. I got a new hair look and I have finally gotten a chance to regain the social life that has long lost.

I spent a day in Taipei yesterday. I went to an art show(Cai Guo – Qiang: Hanging Out in the Museum) with friends from school. It was great to finally be there to appreciate Cai's art works. In the evening, I attended Taipei Tweetup dinner party, which was fantastic! Got to get together with my other friends again and meet new people. It really was a blast! ;)

Why You Should Make a Video Response in Mandarin!

DateMonday, January 4, 2010 at 1:19AM

新年快樂! Xin Nian Kuai Le! :) 

Thank you all your continuous support to PeggyTeachesChinese in the past year. I really appreciate it! 

In the new of 2010, I hope our lessons will continue to inspire you and even more people to learn Mandarin. Not only do I wish this community for learning Mandarin would continue to grow by making these lessons but also look forward to the share of experiences and knowledge contributed by more learners. "I don't want other people to know how bad my Mandarin is" you might think. But please let me remind you that making mistakes is also a part of learning. Moreover, as a language learner, you don't want to be all shy and too self-conscious. Take myself as an example, English has never been my native language but I wasn't afraid to speak English since I first started to learn; that is why my English is better than people who began to learn it at the same time with me, even those who have been to an English speaking country to learn the language. I am now learning Japanese and I apply the same technique, same attitude.

Merry Christmas! Sheng Dan Jie Kuai Le! 

DateThursday, December 24, 2009 at 5:47AM

Merry Christmas! Sheng4 Dan4 Jie2 Kuai4 Le4! 聖誕節快樂!

Most of us in Taiwan didn't grow up celebrating Sheng4Dan4 Jie2(聖誕節) but we learned to celebrate it as a holiday(not officially, we don't have a day off during Christmas season) and I reckon people begin to celebrate Christmas because business men and women eyed the profitable business opportunity for it and established the popular culture or culture of commercialism of celebrating Christmas. The atmosphere of Christmas penetrates the island a month before it's even here: Christmas commodities such as plastic Christmas tree, Christmas lights, gifts, cards, costumes, parties and church or friends get-together dinners.

That being said, as Taiwanese people set out plans for Christmas with friends and classmates, how many of them really know the meaning of Christmas? Watch this video to be out and about Jhungli with Peggy! :)

Video by the Producer of PeggyTeachesChinese

DateTuesday, December 8, 2009 at 2:18AM

I know all of you have been wondering who the hardworking production crew are that make all the Mandarin lessons on PeggyTeachesChinese happen! His name is Louis Huang, the producer, the director as well as the editor of all the videos on PeggyTeachesChinese. Louis Huang recently won a MSI laptop and a trip to a resort in Australia from a contest held by MSI(Watch his video for this contest). He has recently begun to produce high-quality videos for his own channel and invited me and my clone(Who is she?) to be featured in this one. ;)

Watch this! This is hilarious!!! :DDDDD

And don't forget to Rate/Subscribe/Share his videos the way you have been supporting PeggyTeachesChinese. Xie Xie ni men! :)

Did I Say it Right? - Ask Me Any Questions about Mandarin

DateSunday, December 6, 2009 at 11:53AM

Many thanks to Marty from Australia, AntarticSake from U.S., Chris from Germany and Kenton from St. Vincent for uploading a video to get featured on "Did I Say it Right?" A video like the ones these viewers uploaded is absolutely beneficial for all Mandarin learners, as the questions you encounter while learning Mandarin could probably be other learners' as well. (So no need to feel shy and embarrassed, it's a community built for us all.) "Did I Say it Right?" encourages Mandarin learners of all level to come and brainstorm together. 

Ep. 1: "I woke up early" from Marty, Australia

Ep. 2: "My friend is beautiful" from AntarticSake, U.S.

Ep. 3: "Four, Ten and Dead in Chinese" from Chris, Germany

Ep. 4: "Shi4he2 V.S. He2shi4" from Kenton, St. Vincent
