I’m a Hoisan (thaishanese or thoishanese for canto or mandarin speakers) speaker born in the US my parents were from guangdong china. My first language was Hoisan yet my Hoisan has gotten worse over the years! 😅 but this was very easy to understand and made me feel at home! I do speak very clear English but I’ve never really felt this close to my language, I’ve always had to watch my Cantonese friends as I don’t know how to speak Cantonese yet I can understand them 😢. So thanks! (PS: learning mandarin in school!)

Jade, I treasure these videos so much. My first language is also Taishanese and I can feel it fading. There’s not a ton of resources on Taishanese and your videos help so much! I hope you make videos again.

Why?
@Legolas23 ай бұрын
@@trueblueedits4673 Because there wasn’t many Asians in America at this time, so it’s just cool to see them speaking like this (since they grew up here) and not in some stereotyped Asian accent
@trueblueedits46733 ай бұрын
@@Legolas2 Ah I see. It's interesting though because there were hundreds of thousands of Asians in America by this time so it's not exactly scarce. Many of them had grown up there. I feel like Asians speaking fluent English with native pronunciation is quite common, people just assume they will speak in a stereotypical accent.

Thank you for posting this. I was born in Los Angeles and my dad is from Kaiping. I grew up speaking a hodgepodge of Toisanwa and Cantonese but I felt I only had a limited capability in either dialect. I now have a daughter and wish for her not to lose this part of her cultural heritage.

Hello from Hong Kong!!!! I just wanna say thank you so much for creating this channel and sharing your knowledge about Toishanese!!!!! My grandparents on my mother’s side were Toishanese who immigrated to Hong Kong during the 50s. They always spoke Cantonese with a Toishanese accent to me and I had zero interest in learning Toishanese at all when I was still a kid. But when I grew up, I started to become more and more curious about my grandparents’ mother tongue. Unfortunately, my grandpa passed away a few years ago. So basically learning Toishanese from you makes me feel like I am building back a stronger bonding between me and my grandpa. Please keep it up and I really appreciate what you are doing 😊😊😊😊

I would like to confirm if "freedom" and "lard-pork fat " sounds the same in Toisanese ? Because the rock band "beyond" from hongkong kept siging about "freedom" but sounds like "pork-fat" in Toisanese. Btw, the rock band "beyond" are all Toisanese.

It's actually called Xin Ning and hereafter change to Taishanese.There are many Toisanese particularly in South East Asia and similarly they were all immigrants.Till today,i still speak Taishanese but mostly among close family members or relatives. Sadly, this dialect is getting less spoken in the public. As an added info. there are many other dialects still widely spoken like Hakka, Teowchew, Cantonese, Fuchian (Hokkien) & of course Mandarin. Its such amusing listening to yr younger Taishanese expression. Keep it up.

Great refresher for me. Toishanese was my first language. But hardly speak it now. And the range of vocabulary was limited. Have attempted to learn putong hua. But very slow. When i hear people talk toishanese , i think to myself, hmmm i still know quite a bit. Thank you for your video.
