Just say wo ai ni when you see guys, and wo cao when you see girls. It will take you anywhere you wanna be in Taiwan.
You didn't make it so he can pronounce it correctly. It should be Woo I knee and Woo Ch(as in Change)-ou (as in ouch).
The first is "I love you." Don't exactly know why you want to say that to a guy. The second one is easy. But I am sure that Clutch will censor that.
Sorry it was meant to be facetious and not to be taken seriously. Should've put a smiley. Never mind. Compared to Mainland China, Taiwan has been open to the West for much longer time. As others have said, English is the number one foreign language kids are required to learn in school. I'd say you as an American shouldn't have too much problem communicating with most youngsters and college-educated people of older generations. Tourism is a big over there, so even folks not versed in English will find a way to earn your business.
I just saw the hotel I will stay at is 240 dollars a night. I thought Taiwan was a cheap country. That isn't isn't bad as when I stayed in england, but I didn't expect this in a country like taiwan.
stick with nouns. They all know like every noun in english, just can't put the verbs inbetween to form sentences.
This is so depressing being here. I went Taipei yesterday and wanted to go again today, but the weather didn't look too good. Taipei 101 is like the nicest mall ever. None of my coworkers were willing to take me out. Whenever we have foreign people in our office at least I try to take them out. I have been to other places in the world, but there is literally no diversity here. 99.% of the people are Taiwanese. I think that is one of the good things about America is that we have diversity. Also no one speaks english here. Getting around has been an interesting experience as I almost got on wrong train two or three times. Learning to communicate nonverbally has been an adventure. I met this one lady on the train that spoke English, but other than that it has been a challenge.
