So nice to hear someone speak Teochow other than my own family. When I hear strangers speak Teochow in public, my ears automatically perk up and we become lost relatives. My kids don't believe me until I've demonstrated a few times so now they don't doubt me. It's something about being Teochow. We're very united and meeting another is like family. Unfortunately my kids don't speak Teochow but understand some so the language will be lost. Love your video. ❤

Hi Mimi 🙋🏻‍♀️ Aww your comment just made my day, it really means a lot to me ☺️ I created this channel because I wanted to see “modern” Teochew content on social media and also wanted to connect with Teochew people around the world. (Granted, I’m only at 100+ subscribers but super stoked to see all these comments ☺️) Did you show your kids the video with my nephews? They speak “teochew-lish” hahaha and I always remind them that it’s like our secret language that most people won’t understand :p Anyway, thanks again for your comment, Mimi 🥰

I know someone who's 100% Vietnamese married 100% Teochew husband. And she blew my mind when she speaks Teochew so fluently. She also raised her children to speak both Teochew and Vietnamese so fluently also growing up they also learned to speak Cantonese and Mandarin beside English, ALL SO FLUENTLY. She is one of the RARE-HARD-TO-FIND woman + wife who is capable of keeping both dialects alive amongst her children not just herself. Throughout the years she balance out the attends & dos things with the husband's family side and her own family side for family events and holidays. She keeps the husband's family side as Ga Gi Nang and she passes her teaching down to her children. A lot of people I know in my life are thinking opposite of her and doing things opposite of her. They only care of hers own family side and do things mostly with her family side and thinking I married your son and not your whole family. Sadly but yes that is their freedom of choice. I stumbled on your video (even thought was 2 years ago) is still impressive today watching your speak Teochew and you reminding me of that WONDER WOMAN as well.

This is the place where most Teochew people come from. Foreigners who lived there for some years can speak Teochew fluently. Also u can learn about Teochew culture & food. Teochew people are well known for cooking seafood. Another well known Teochew dish is a dessert made from yam. The yam is steamed then mashed & cooked over low flame with oil (lard) & lots of sugar. It is called Ow Ni. Good Teochew restaurants usually have this dish. Good luck & God bless u (from Au Teochew nang living in Brisbane, Australia)

I can speak hokkien(xiamen dialect),I barely understand 50% words of this video, however, it will be easier for me to understand shantou dialect,just because it is closer to quanzhou dialect. Teochew and hokkien all belong to minnan dialect in theory.It won't be a tough thing to learn Teochew if I can speak hokkien, however, learning Teochew is more difficult for me because it doesn't have many resources to refer and language environment to practice. Apparently, it's easier than learning English just because it is a Chinese dialect,not a foreign language. English is difficult for me especially the accent.I always speak Chinglish which couldn't be understood by people😭 我会闽南语（厦门话），勉强听懂了一半，如果是汕头可以可能我会听懂更多，汕头口音很像泉州话，潮汕话和闽南语理论上都属于闽南方言，如果会闽南语，学潮汕话不会是一件困难的事情，但是因为没有那么多资源和语言环境，所以这对我来说很难，但是一定比英语简单，英语对我来说太难了，特别是口音，我的中式英语口音永远不能被人理解😭
