Ni Hao hospe25!

Thanks for your support!

In Shanghai people speak Shanghainese (our own dialect) though we can also speak and understand Mandarin…. In Taiwan, they to have a dialect (Taiwanese) but speak Mandarin as well! Our accent here in Shanghai and that in Taiwan is slightly different!

Hope that helps!

Zai Jian!
