Learn Taiwanese for Nerds Guide Book - Your Field Manual for Hacking the Language

Matt Kingsley

Beschreibung

Are you tired of language guides that feel like… homework? The endless lists of vocabulary, the dry grammatical rules, the sanitized dialogues that have nothing to do with how real people actually talk?

You know there’s a vibrant, fascinating world out there—the hum of a Taipei night market, the inside jokes on a message board, the deep meaning behind a family festival. But you feel stuck on the outside, armed with a textbook that teaches you the words but misses the entire conversation.

What if you had a guide that spoke your language?

Introducing the Learn Taiwanese for Nerds Guide Book.

This isn't a textbook. It's your field manual, your player's guide, your walkthrough for the most exciting game in the world: culture. We believe that a language isn't just a set of rules to be memorized; it's a complex and beautiful operating system to be explored. And you, with your love for systems, patterns, and deep knowledge, are uniquely equipped to master it.

Imagine not just learning verb tenses, but understanding the "linear algebra" of time. Imagine not just memorizing greetings, but "executing the perfect social script" to build instant rapport. We’ll teach you how to "debug" conversational errors, "bypass the great firewall" of slang, and "contribute to the open-source project" of friendship.

Each chapter is a new quest, from hacking the foodie API to understanding the protocols of business etiquette. Each page is packed with "Expert Tips" that feel more like cheat codes for real-world success.

This book is for anyone who has ever wanted to go beyond being a tourist and truly understand the source code of a new culture. It's for the curious, the gamers, the coders, and the adventurers who know that the greatest rewards lie in understanding how things truly work.

Stop just learning words. It’s time to decode the system, master the game, and level up from a language learner to a linguistic legend.

Your adventure is waiting. Are you ready to play?

Oregon Loves New York - A Story...

Sally Bourrie

A nation in mourning. A city recovering. A unique moment in history when people came together to rebuild hope.
When an unimaginable crisis emerged, politically polarized Oregon found a common mission. Three weeks after the September 11th terrorist attacks, airplanes were empty and the New York economy was tanking. So one thousand Freedom Fliers committed to taking sixty-two flights to NYC and infusing local businesses with revenue to show their unwavering support.
Arriving en masse to the grief-filled streets, Oregonians from diverse backgrounds and social statuses came to make a difference in their fellow Americans' lives. But beyond the much-needed economic boost, these unsung heroes discovered themselves providing something even more essential... their open hearts.

Summary: Adult Children of...

Alice Moore, Liam Daniels

Every person experiences emotions; it's one of life's most natural aspects. Unfortunately, not everyone is capable of dealing with these intense feelings effectively. And, when you’ve been raised by emotionally immature parents who don’t allow you to be an individual who can express their feelings, you will be set up for failed (and sometimes even abusive) relationships in the future.
As children, our number one role models are our parents; we give them unconditional trust to guide us through the world. But when the trust is broken, and their behavior and temperament toward us are less than ideal, we can develop coping mechanisms in a bid to shield ourselves from the hurt. If your parent starved you emotionally, then you have a pretty clear picture of what this means – but it doesn't have to remain this way.
In her original, Dr. Lindsay Gibson discusses this phenomenon, the effect that the poor emotional development of parents can have on their children’s lives, and practical steps you can take to break free from this cycle.
With this summary, you will:Understand in depth the effect that emotionally immature parents have on the adult lives of their children.Gain insight into how your parents' emotional immaturity has shaped your emotional landscape, and identify the subsequent effects.Explore the personality traits associated with emotional immaturity to be able to identify it in others and avoid falling trap to their actions.Learn the steps you can take to wake up from the effects of emotional immaturity to experience the liberation you long for.Learn how to build solid, lasting relationships filled with the emotional intimacy that you desire.And more!
But there's only one rule – don't be afraid to dig deep and feel. Facing the resurfacing emotions of your past may be uncomfortable, to say the least, but it is an essential part of the process.

Ask Aristotle - The next best...

Vishal Sharma, William Jaworski

Imagine you’ve eaten some hallucinogenic mushrooms—and things aren’t going well. You’re disoriented, panicking. But you can call someone. Who do you call? 
For Vishal, the answer was his philosopher friend William. He has a PhD in philosophy and can deliver one hell of a talk-down to someone in an existential crisis. He helped Vishal through his bad trip by telling him about Aristotle. 
That conversation inspired Ask Aristotle, a refreshingly un-schoolish introduction to one of history’s most legendary thinkers. 
This book is important because it brings a powerful philosophy out of the Ivory Tower and into the real world. It even does this in a playful format—a modern spin on the Platonic dialogue, which makes the reading experience feel like eavesdropping on a fascinating conversation. 
It’s the next best thing to a podcast with Aristotle.

Between the Listening and the...

Mark Yaconelli, Anne Lamott

Stories tether us to what matters most: our families, our friends, our hearts, our planet, the wondrous mystery of life itself. Yet the stories we've been telling ourselves as a civilization are killing us: Fear is wisdom. Vanity is virtuous. Violence is peace. In Between the Listening and the Telling, author and activist Mark Yaconelli leads listeners into an enchanting meditation on the power of storytelling in our individual and collective lives. We tell stories to remember who we are. We tell stories to savor the pleasure of living. Stories can be medicine, and they can transform entire communities. 
 
 
 
Through his work with The Hearth nonprofit, Yaconelli has spent thousands of hours listening to people as they grieve loss, deepen friendships, strengthen families, shed light on injustice, and recover hope. In this moving exploration he shows us how individuals and communities can recover the practice of storytelling to address the despair of climate change, the trauma of school shootings, the tragedy of undocumented immigration, and the daily struggle for meaning. 
 
 
 
With a foreword by Anne Lamott, Between the Listening and the Telling offers an alloy of story, commentary, and meditation. In an era of runaway loneliness, alienation, global crisis, and despair, sharing stories helps us make a home within ourselves and one another.
