Adrianna Tan<p>Excellent news. I recently completed a six month online program with a Taiwanese language teacher in Kaohsiung. It was very good for me as I already read Chinese characters and speak Taiwanese as a heritage speaker. I constantly despaired that it would seem so insurmountable for someone to pick it up from scratch. Gotta check out the programs at Berkeley, close to home </p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Languages</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Chinese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chinese</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Cantonese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cantonese</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Taiwanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Taiwanese</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Hokkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hokkien</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/@davidonformosa/113537141930967459" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mstdn.social/@davidonformosa/1</span><span class="invisible">13537141930967459</span></a></p>
Flipboard<p>The Taiwanese language doesn’t sound like Mandarin Chinese. “[It] originates deep from the belly, creating rumbling sonorous tones that remind me of my dad’s laughter or my mom calling me for dinner, ‘ki jia buan!’” writes Josephine Lee for <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://texasobserver.social/@TexasObserver" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>TexasObserver</span></a></span>.

Adrianna Tan<p>I found a cool website for learning Taiwanese through Hokkien music videos and their transcription. </p><p>This probably only works if you (1) can already read / write Chinese characters (2) already speak Hokkien but can write it. So, for heritage speakers like me. </p><p>I already have lots of personal projects but it’ll be fun to do this when I have some down time. Might be fun to surprise my parents with my knowledge of the songs they love. </p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Languages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Languages</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Taiwan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Taiwan</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Taiwanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Taiwanese</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/hokkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hokkien</span></a></p>
