I'm from Canada and spent 12+ years training and working as a Medical Doctor. But in 2019 I burnt out, quit my job and traveled to Taiwan to learn Chinese in my 30s. I went from struggling to say a sentence to having multi-hour conversations with locals in 6 months. Getting conversational in Mandarin changed my life. Now I help other 3500+ learners speak Mandarin with confidence using The Copy Paste Speak System. On this channel I make videos and podcasts sharing tips, tools and lessons for language learners. –––Chapters––– 00:00 - Why You Can Understand But Can't Speak 01:37 - Why Speaking is Hard 04:41 - Typical Learner Progression 05:49 - How To Improve Your Speaking 07:50 - The Principle of Specificity 11:55 - Problem Based Learning 15:17 - The “Now” Method 17:52 - Language “Role Models” 21:00 - How I Learned To Speak Fluently (Daily Routine) ––– learn chinese learn mandarin language learning study mandarin chinese taiwan self study language comprehensible input polyglot fluency speaking skills #speakingskills #languagelearning #learnchinese
