brainstormed and made an account who wants to be tt mutuals 👀

i wanna start a studytok but i need ideas first 🤔

taiwan isn’t a country

loaded ‘question’ that i probably shouldnt be the one answering if anyone wants to chime in… however they have their own government, their own currency, my student visa application would be to taiwan not china (even chinese citizens need permits/visas to enter taiwan and vice versa), and as far as i’m aware the majority of taiwanese people don’t consider themselves or want to be part of china so i will continue calling it a country. if any of my info is wrong someone feel free to let me know ofc

Since my first term at my new school is over and I have above the required gpa I am finally eligible for study abroad!!!

I submitted my application for the program yesterday and have already been conditionally accepted to go by my school as long as i’m accepted into the program.

and the country i applied to is….. 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁

Taiwan!

the program is in taipei specifically, and on a university campus. if accepted ill also have a chance to visit tainan and taitung.

i’d be going for about 2 months over the summer for an accelerated/intensive mandarin course. it’d be the entire intermediate level (= CHN201+202 in U.S. college credit). as far as I know I’d have class 5 days a week while there. i’m taking CHN 102 (upper elementary) in the spring here at home to prepare and spending my break reviewing stuff from 101 as well as teaching myself zhuyin/bopomofo.

if anyone has good resources for zhuyin, traditional characters, and/or taiwanese mandarin lmk!! im trying to find everything i can then i’ll compile a list of what was most helpful sometime during or at the end of the semester :))

I also majored in anthropology!! I really enjoyed it

its really fun!! i love how broad or specific it can be depending on your interests, i have so many class options (i just wish we had anything related to linguistic anthro at my school 😭) im super excited for some of the courses i plan to take in future semesters tho

i wanna start a studytok but i need ideas first 🤔

the urge to go into forensic anthropology fighting my hatred for the police force and justice system
