Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Annie and Lilah are diving deep into the world of romance—past, present, and the parts we don’t always like to talk about. From the "old school" ways people used to find their soulmates to personal dating horror stories (and triumphs!), this episode is as hilarious as it is vital.
But it’s not all heart-eyes and roses. We’re getting real about safety. We cover essential tips for your first date, how to spot red flags, and the very real dangers of abuse and date rape drugs. Most importantly, we discuss what to do if you find yourself in a dangerous situation.
Note: This episode contains sensitive subject matter. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, we discuss:
The Evolution of Dating: How did people even meet before the apps?

First Date Survival Guide: Practical safety tips every dater needs.

然而，這集不只有粉紅泡泡。我們將嚴肅探討安全問題，包括初次約會的必備守則、如何辨識危險信號，以及虐待和約會強暴藥物（迷姦藥）的真實風險。最重要的是，我們將討論當你身處危險境地時該如何應對。
備註： 本集包含敏感話題，請聽眾斟酌收聽。

In this episode, Annie and Lilah chat with an online Mandarin teacher from Taiwan who’s anything but traditional—and that’s exactly why we love her.
Instead of textbooks and drills, she teaches Mandarin through real life: filming short reels about everyday moments like going to 7-11, heading out for a run, or hilariously unpacking all the very emotional Mandarin expressions that involve eggs. Her teaching philosophy is simple and powerful: language is something you live, not something you memorize.
She’s a seasoned traveler who has spent time in the US, Australia, and Belgium on working holiday visas. She speaks Mandarin and Taiwanese, has fluent, conversational English, and is currently learning French—because her partner is Belgian. These experiences deeply shape how she understands language learning, culture shock, and what learners really need.
Now living in a laid-back beach town in northern Taiwan, she brings warmth, curiosity, and a lot of joy into the way she talks about languages and life. This episode is a reminder that good language learning doesn’t have to feel heavy or intimidating—it can be playful, practical, and deeply human.
If you’ve ever wished learning a language felt more like hanging out with a friend than sitting in a classroom, this one’s for you.
By the way, the adjective that can roughly describe the taste of persimmon is “astringent.” However, even this word is not exactly accurate because it’s not used to describe a taste. This is why we say there are words and concepts in each language that cannot be translated into another language.

這一集，Annie 和 Lilah 訪問了一位來自台灣的線上華語老師，但她一點都不「傳統」，也正因為這樣，我們立刻被她的教學方式圈粉。
她不靠課本或死背單字，而是用真實生活教語言：拍短影片分享去 7-11、出門跑步，或是輕鬆聊聊那些「跟蛋有關、但情緒很多」的中文說法。她相信，語言不是用來考試的，而是用來生活、感受和溝通的。
她曾持打工度假簽證到美國、澳洲、比利時生活，能流利使用中文、台語和英文，目前也正在學法文——因為她的伴侶來自比利時。這些跨文化與多語言的經驗，讓她非常理解語言學習者的挫折、焦慮，以及真正的需求。
現在她住在台灣北部的海邊小鎮，生活步調輕鬆自在，也把這份溫度和真誠帶進她的語言教學中。這一集想告訴你：學語言不一定要很辛苦，也可以很自然、很有趣，甚至很療癒。
如果你曾希望語言學習能更像和朋友聊天，而不是坐在教室裡上課——這一集，你一定會喜歡。
順帶一提，用來大概形容柿子口感的英文形容詞是 astringent。不過，這個字其實也不完全準確，因為它並不是專門用來形容「味道」的。這也正是為什麼我們常說，每一種語言裡都有一些詞彙和概念，是無法完全翻譯成另一種語言的。

In this episode, Annie and Lilah talk about post-secondary education in British Columbia, addressing common misconceptions—especially the idea that North American education is “easier.”
We break down the application process and explore the many pathways available in BC, including universities, colleges (transfer, career, co-op, and micro-credential programs), and trades programs.
The key takeaway is simple: before choosing a program, students need to reflect on what they want, what they’re good at, and what they’re interested in. With a clearer sense of self, it becomes much easier to navigate the wide range of options the BC education system offers and make informed choices.
This episode is a helpful listen for students and parents, whether domestic or international, who are considering higher education in BC.
在這一集中，Annie 和 Lilah 聊聊 卑詩省（BC）的高等教育制度，並回應許多家長（特別是亞洲家庭）常見的迷思，例如「北美的教育比較輕鬆」。
我們簡單介紹 申請流程，並說明 BC 多元的升學選擇，包括 大學、學院（轉學、職涯、Co-op、微學分課程）以及技職教育。
這一集最重要的重點是：在選擇升學方向前，學生需要先好好認識自己——知道自己想要什麼、擅長什麼、對什麼有興趣。當方向清楚了，就能在 BC 的教育體系中，找到最適合自己的選擇。
這一集非常適合學生與家長收聽，不論是本地或國際學生，都能從中獲得實用的思考方向。

This episode continues our two-part series on the writing process, moving from brainstorming to the next important step: outlining.
Annie and Lilah talk about why making a plan before you write can save time, reduce stress, and lead to clearer writing. We explain how to distinguish main ideas from supporting details, how to organize ideas logically, and how to put together a simple and effective paragraph outline. This episode is especially helpful for language learners and anyone who feels overwhelmed once the ideas are on the page.
Just like Part 1, this episode also comes with a video version. You can visit our YouTube channel to watch us build an outline step by step and see exactly how ideas are selected, ordered, and turned into a writing plan.
Watch the video version here:

We are still experimenting with video content and would really love your feedback. Have you found the video helpful? Does watching the process make writing clearer for you? What else could we do to better support your learning?
Whether you are a student, an English learner, or someone who wants to write with more confidence, this episode is about turning ideas into structure and structure into clearer writing.
