[300076379]

I like! :)

[boksila]

thanks for this video! it's so helpful! there are only a few resources on teochew online. can you post more language lessons?

[reenaLEOW]

@boksila sure! thank you so much for spending your time in my video:)

i would definitely film more of the lessons, and post it once my examinations are over:) thank you so much, once again:D

Hi Reena, I was in Singapore in 2007. You're cute and you speak Teo Chew well. Can I have your email so that I can keep in touch with you. Maybe you can show me some places the next time i go to Singapore.

[JohnRRonand]

Also, you said, "dai ga hor", but I think Teochew is "dai gaer hor". "dai ga hor" is Cantonese with Teochew accent.

It's a shame shanghai is that big, because maybe i would have met you last 9 months. I really like this vid, because you are true to your self and don't try to be somebody that you aren't. Thanks for the language lessons, Most of them i already knew though! Greetings from an ex shanghai'er!

[reenaLEOW]

@voordeeldrogist thank you so much for the praising! hahah!

i am living in singapore not Shanghai, thus, if you have happened to reach singapore, i could bring you around :D so the language which i speak is still understand-able huh?! tehee:D thank you so much:D

[Mjvdzanden]

@reenaLEOW Yeah for a beginner it's helpfull! hǎo de, i thought you were living in Shnaghai, but Singapore is even better. Singapore is nice and clean. I also like the money, sometimes i forget i still have some money in my pockets during laundry. But the money in Singapore actually is waterproof!

[reenaLEOW]

@Mjvdzanden hahah! it's the first time i hear people saying they like our money, hahha! i was shock upon reading it, and laugh out loud later, omg! you mean you wash your money? it must become a ball of paper after laundry :D but the notes are not tear proof you see, it's early torn :<

[Mjvdzanden]

@reenaLEOW No i don't wash my money on purpose! What i meant was washing your clothes and sometimes you forget to empty your pockets. Sometimes there will be some paper money in it ;)

[reenaLEOW]

@Mjvdzanden hahah, i was just kidding, i get what you mean, hahah:D me too, and when i realize it's sometimes too late:D

[JohnRRonand]

but suka is Indonesian or Malay. Really.

[reenaLEOW]

@JohnRRonand suka?

[JohnRRonand]

@reenaLEOW you said, "I like you" in Teochew is "wa shu ga ri". I am from Indonesia and suka is like in Indonesian or Malay. So I guess you learn Teochew from someone who has been to South East Asia, particularly Indonesia or Malaysia. 欢喜 in Teochew is "hua hee" so I guess 喜欢 is just the other way round?

[tea550]

這根本就是閩南語...

[kityie]

Yeahh probably: p. But its kinda weird lo cause actually could understand all of it x3 thaha you're welcome, hope you keep making these kinds of vids jia you o!!^^

[reenaLEOW]

@kityie hahah! yar. especially when it comes to category it into individual, it become a headache! hahah:D

thank you for the encouragement, i would, definitely, stay tune then. thank you so much:D

[kityie]

this sounds soo alike like fujian or issit just me? o.O

anyway i like watching your dialect lesson so funny xD

[reenaLEOW]

@kityie personally i feel that all dialects has got a common spot? :) so sometime 1might sound familiar when it's actually another dialect :D hahah

omg! thank you so muchhhh! it's so encouraging:D

[BeatTranProDucTionS]

yayy another teochew person! lol I still haven't met anyone speak teochew in U.S. except the elders lol

[reenaLEOW]

@BeatTranProDucTionS are you serious about it?! wow?!

[BeatTranProDucTionS]

@reenaLEOW yup, I haven't met anyone around my age that speaks it, mostly

I bump into Vietnamese, Chinese, Koreans that are more popular

[rockingirl101]

@BeatTranProDucTionS I speak TeoChew and am in the U.S.! i found out some of my friends do too, most forgot, 1 has different accent, and some can but don't want to. :( I've never conversed with others in Teochew. (only at home)

[BeatTranProDucTionS]

@rockingirl101 yep, I only speak at home as well. Mostly with my parents but thats pretty much the only time I can use it.

As a man growing up in teochew ,I think your teaching is very well.Your sound like chaoyang,one zone in shantou .

[MrDonkeykong8888]

:D yeh u right by the way about the slang because something I also mix Teochew with Vietnamese or Cantonese cause sometime are similar sounds :D why u don't try mix those language together maybe it will have something new =3 try it!!!!! hope u success :p

[reenaLEOW]

@MrDonkeykong8888 Oh, so just some slang:D That means i could definitely survive in Vietnam? haha:D Great!!!

Owww! mixing all the dialects together would be OH MY GOD, never doing it, cause i might get some tongue lash for being disrepectful to all the dialects wor? But maybe i could come out with a skit about it ? :D hahah!

Thanks for the idea. Hehe! i am still thinking what to do next, now. i just need to replan it :D TEHEEE!!! :D

[LasttWish]

@reenaLEOW no lol, teochew in viet is pretty much the same, im half chinese and vietnamese, my family hometown is from southern vietnam, there are more teochew people there than the north i believe.

Teochew language is slowly dying ): ill be teaching my kids teochew in the future.

Its great to see that there are still teochew people spreading the teochew language, especially the younger generations to keep it going.
