2nd Secondary Resource

- Some Taiwanese words are actually more similar to English than Chinese. (Ex. panda)
- Taiwanese doesn't actually have a written form (can't be written)

- Almost all Taiwanese words (excluding specific names) are different from their Chinese counter-parts
-Taiwanese is more nasal sounding than Chinese

From this listening closely to the recordings of both languages, I learned that the two are more different than similar. Also, I learned that Taiwanese is mostly just a spoken language because it doesn't have it's own characters.
