Message from Trump川普說…
我從來都不欣賞 川普/特朗普，甚至覺得他評論近乎荒謬，完全不像一位候任總統。今天他發了兩則有關他及台灣蔡英文總統通電話的推特，對中美關係引起了點風浪。他第二則推特是回應評論家對這對話的反應。但我較有興趣是本地媒體對此推特的理解。 I’ve never been a fan of Trump and frankly speaking, find a lot of his comments bordering ridiculous,…

Bopomofo ㄅㄆㄇㄈ
有沒有被標題嚇倒? 來台灣其中一個主要原因是想學好中文。我覺得如果住在這裡足夠長時間，學習中文應該會有很大進步。在半個多世紀前我媽媽從香港遠赴英國，當年她沒上過學更不會說英語，但後來她都能在我們店裡招呼顧客跟他們聊天, 有時還會跟我們說顧客的閒話。我媽的英語從零到馬馬虎虎，幾十年來在英國生活都能跟當地人溝通，那我在台灣居住應該可以有更大進步空間吧。 The title looks scary, right? One of the main reason for coming to Taiwan was because I want…
