台灣是個多語社會，除了華語之外，台語一直是使用人口最多的語言之一。這本書是為了來台旅遊、工作或定居的外籍人士、移工、新住民，以及想教外國友人台語的台灣人而寫的。
台語在台灣社會中與華語交織，是日常生活中不可忽略的一部分，無論是在夜市買東西，還是在電視劇、新聞中，都會接觸到台語。然而市面上針對外國人學習台語的書籍相對稀少，而且許多台語教材都以華語為教學語言，對於不熟悉漢字的學習者來說可能有困難。因此，本書以華語、英語雙語呈現，並且特別設計以漢語拼音標註台語，選擇日常生活中經常使用的台語詞彙和短語，搭配具體場景的例句，讓學習者能夠立即活用。

Taiwan is a multilingual society. Besides Mandarin Chinese, Taiwanese is one of the most widely spoken languages. This book is written for foreign visitors, migrant workers, new residents in Taiwan, and Taiwanese who want to teach Taiwanese to their foreign friends.Taiwanese is interwoven with Mandarin in daily life and is an integral part of society in Taiwan. When you're shopping at night markets or watching TV shows and news, you always hear some Taiwanese. However, books designed to help foreigners learn Taiwanese are relatively scarce, and many of the books are written in Mandarin, which may be difficult for learners unfamiliar with characters. The content of this book is presented in both Mandarin and English, and Hanyu Pinyin is used to transcribe Taiwanese. It focuses on commonly-used words and phrases for daily life with practical scenarios and examples to help learners use what they've learned right away.
