"Thought you'll never asked.

Actually there is NO difference in Taiwan vs Mainland when it comes to pronunciation. Both share the same. When we hear it different it's a thing of dialects now - kinda like Scottish try to say 'hand' (they'll always say hah-nd instead of usual heh-nd).

People say Taiwan vs Mainland is different bc the phrases they used are different. Say for '小姐', this term in Taiwan means a polite way of mentioning 'Miss'. However in Mainland if you mention this term you'll get slapped because it meant the prostitutes. So this is the true difference in Taiwan vs Mainland tho"
