Chill Conversation with My Sister: Baseball Shaped Taiwan’s Identity + Useful Taiwanese Mandarin Expressions

From Chinese Taipei (中華隊) to Team Taiwan (臺灣隊), baseball has helped shape Taiwan’s identity. It’s the one sport that truly brings people across Taiwan together. 

In this episode, my little sister and I talk about how baseball has shaped our lives and what it has taught us about perseverance. You'll be learning two expressions. (球是圓的、不到九局下半不能放棄).  

In the full version, we visit the Taipei Dome to watch an international game and observe this incredible phenomenon firsthand.
