HSK 2-3 Listening Comprehension | Halloween in Taiwan

This is a Chinese monologue about Halloween in Taiwan.

And it's a listening comprehension practice about this coming holiday in north America. :)

This is my first time making a video lesson without any English, so I'm setting the level at HSK 2-3 according the grammar and vocabulary I used in the video.

Hope you enjoy it! :)

HSK 1 Listening Comprehension 

Taiwan Night Market & Snacks 1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEWYuRZZCqQ&t=2s

I've been inspired so much by my experiences of studying German online, and I want to apply my learning techniques to teaching Mandarin in my lessons.
So this will be my next project, working on training students' listening by listening to a short conversation or a passage.
I'll start with reading the essential vocabulary in the audio first then the passage. Students can listen to the audio as many times as they want. And also they need to do some review exercise after listening.
Before I start this project, please let me know if you have any suggestions or topics you want to listen to, I will appreciate it sooo much!!!! :)

Here is the script of this listening :)

台灣小吃 (Traditional Chinese characters)
台灣是一個很小的國家，我們有很多好吃的東西。
在台灣，最有名的地方叫夜市，夜市的英文是night market.
在台灣最有名的夜市是士林夜市。士林夜市在台北，很多外國人或台灣人都喜歡去那裡。
因為那裡有很多好吃的台灣小吃。有幾個有名的台灣小吃你一定要知道。
雞排，珍珠奶茶， 臭豆腐 都是我們有名的小吃。
下次你如果有機會來台灣，一定要去台灣的夜市，嚐嚐我們好吃的台灣小吃。

Audio Lessons

Our audio lessons are topic by topic; students can use the class search engine on our website and find the topic they wish to learn from our audio lesson section. Students will learn a useful phrase from each audio. It’s easy and short!

Video Lessons

There are a total of six sections of our video lessons. They are all structured step-by-step for your learning. Here are our lesson categories and details:

• PronunciationIf you are a TOTAL BEGINNER OF CHINESE you MUST start our lesson from this category. You will be learning PINYIN – the pronunciation system of Mandarin Chinese. We will teach you from the very beginning. You’ll start by learning tons of Chinese, the introduction of Pinyin system, how to mark the tone lines, tone practice, tone changing rules, Pinyin initial sounds, and Pinyin final sounds, We will guide you all the way though. By the end of the lesson, you’ll be able to speak in Chinese by reading Pinyin and also how to type with pinyin input on your computer!

• Intro to ChineseIn this category, you’ll learn greetings, numbers, and survival phrases. And all the way to basic structures, grammatical rules as well as how to use correct Chinese grammar in a conversation properly.
  Included are daily conversations, such as shopping, eating, ordering food, telling weekdays and time, family, fruit, ordering a cup of coffee to bargaining, and giving directions!
  There’s one thing that you should keep in mind when studying this category: Please watch the videos in sequence on our website since each video contains some grammatical rules. You should watch and learn step-by-step.

• Lower IntermediateIn this section, not only will you be able to take your Chinese to another level knowing how to form a longer sentence or conversation in Mandarin with proper grammatical structures, but you’ll also learn different daily topics, ranging from hair salon Chinese to banking Chinese. 
  Here we also strongly advise you watch the videos with our scheduled sequence one by one in order to learn more efficiently and systematically.

• All About TaiwanIn this category, you’ll learn
  • Taiwanese/Chinese night market culture
  • famous Taiwanese/Chinese food
  • how to rent an apartment in Taiwan
  • ordering a cup of milk tea like a local
  • how to book a train ticket in Taiwan
  • the Taiwanese metro system
  • how to deal with a car accident in Taiwan
  • and many other useful, cultural topics as well as some survival phrases
  In this category, students can choose the topic they wish to learn without following the order of our videos. 
  
• Everyday SlangEvery language has its own special and interesting slang, and in this category we show you some cute and catchy Chinese expressions. Just sit back and enjoy!

Whether you want to have a great conversation with the locals, get around Taiwan/ China with ease, use Chinese for business, or even pass your Mandarin proficiency tests with flying colors, we hope you find our video lessons serve you and help you achieve your goals.
