3. Living in Taiwan, Learning Mandarin & Much More - Friday Happy Hour in Formosa Part 2

In part 2 of my interview for "Friday Happy Hour in Formosa", aired on the Taiwanese radio channel NER on July 28, 2022, Beverly Liu and I chatted about: Taiwan How I got to move to Taiwan amidst pandemic quarantines and studied Mandarin there almost for free. The amazing people and experiences I met and made traveling Taiwan solo, including the most spectacular sunrise of my life and generous ladies and families who took me as a hitchhiker and invited me for meals. Mandarin and Languages: How my perception of my own language skills sometimes doesn't catch up with reality, how our language skills are relative, depending on whom we speak to, and what it’s like to learn Mandarin for Western learners. What happens in a brain that knows 7+ languages? Travel How an ordinary girl from a small town in eastern Czech Republic traveled the world and learned 6 foreign languages barely having/spending any money - and how you could do it! Travel Stories How I ended up living in a ski hostel, aka the madhouse, throughout the harshest of covid lockdowns while trying to finish my Master thesis, met a bunch of weirdos living their best lives against all the odds, and ended up having the best time of my life.
