Talking Language over Taiwanese Food

[Chimpangel]

Toilet paper!! That's really funny.

[BAIYUE1]

why taiwanese don't speak taiwanese language instead of madarin(Han chinese language)?

[carissa0515]

@BAIYUE1 they speak both.

[BAIYUE1]

@carissa0515

Why KMT don't let Taiwanese speak both 2 language in school?

[BeellyW]

@BAIYUE1 that actually depends on the family u grew up in

my first language is taiwanses but i dont speak taiwanses

i speak mandarin and english

btw not everybody speak both taiwanese or mandarin

[BAIYUE1]

@BeellyW

When you speak hokkien,you are hokkienese(taiwanese)

So now you speak madarin,you are madarin people.

Congratulation you go to madarin empire family.

[BeellyW]

@BAIYUE1 hokkienese is taiwanese but slightly different its kind of like irish english and american english

most ppl can speak mandarin because everybody have to learn it at school now soo~ the population who only speak taiwanese (like my grandma) is getting less and less.

i think by 75% they mean "understand but may not be able to speak fluently"

and !!i think the %of ppl who actually use taiwanese as their first language in taiwan is now less than 30%

@BeellyW

So why Cantonese can protect their language so good despite of mandarin?

while Hokkienese can't do it as cantonese.

I know has some professor in taipei who are trying to maintain hokkien language,and hokkien culture.

But i think it is not enough,it is depend young hokkienese as you.

Do you think about it?

[BeellyW]

@BAIYUE1 i think young ppl still know the language but they just dont use it as often as older taiwanese ppl

for example when i go to a buy something (somewhere like the store in the video) to eat, the owner often speak taiwanese and i will just answer them in mandarin i think as long as taiwanese exist the language is not going anywhere + we have taiwanese classes in grade 3 4 5

ps most green party ppl speak taiwanese or hakka and a lot of southern taiwanese ppl do too

[BAIYUE1]

@BeellyW

In Taiwan ,have any Taiwanese language(hokkien,hakka) school?

And where is it?(Taipei,,...)

[tiga2001]

@BAIYUE1 that's because in Hong Kong, Cantonese is the language of instruction in schools and media, so they are able to read and write Catonese Chinese. In Taiwan, Mandarin is the language of instruction in schools and the majority of media, relegating Taiwanese to more or less a spoken language status. When people read and write Chinese in Taiwan, they can usually only read and write it with Mandarin pronunciation.

@tiga2001

Unfair for Taiwanese!

[BAIYUE1]

@BeellyW

So i have question,how many Taiwanese speak hokkien(taiwanese)?

75% as in wikipedia,or nothing.or hokkien absolutely was replaced by madarin.

[BeellyW]

@BAIYUE1 p.s. there are other groups of ppl using different languages so its really hard to tell the%

[yihan1127]

肉羹飯&乾意麵!!!  Oh, I miss Taiwanese food, yummy!!

[Theta910]

I like these videos a lot! Keep them coming good sir!

[langcurious]

I like as you call them chats, it's nice that you continue on with a conversation or topic but a new locations each time. It keeps it interesting and I get to see you use the language in a real world setting.

[melancholyhead2000]

Wow that's good advice now I'm going to incorporate the notebook into my language learning.

[Codylangaugesblog]

Yum, that looks really really good! I like the FLR method because it is realistic for communication right when you start a language. I want to actually be able to talk with people right away.
