In this episode, Ula sits down with new Mandarin Monkey teacher Yating for a fun first conversation together.


They discuss the kinds of questions Taiwanese people always ask when meeting someone new, including where you’re from, your star sign, and whether you’re an I person or a J person. The conversation also explores life abroad, cultural differences between Taiwan, the UK, and Sweden, and the small daily habits that become surprisingly emotional when living overseas.


Topics include:

  • Taiwanese social culture
  • Astrology and personality types in Taiwan
  • Introvert vs extrovert (I vs E)
  • Planning personalities (J vs P)
  • Shoes inside the house
  • Food hygiene differences
  • Public changing rooms in Sweden

A relaxed and natural Mandarin conversation for learners who enjoy culture, personality discussions, and everyday life topics.
