a full day of speaking hakka (again)

[@soundrat]

I’m half Hakka from my mother’s side and born and raised in New York City. She is no longer alive but I witness her life of courage, hard-work ethic and hospitality. I regret not learning to speak Hakka since Mandarin is spoke at home and only heard her use Hakka with her mother/my grandmother. Only ate in 1 Hakka restaurant in Chinatown. I’m proud of my Hakka heritage and was raised in those ways. Great video as it helps me re-explore the Hakka culture and cuisine.

[@vincentnguyen2768]

This video is so refreshing to hear! I speak hakka but I’ve noticed that every video I’ve watched of hakka, intonations were always different. Your pronunciation is as close for me to understand the way I speak it.

[@Zakaius]

U r Vietnamese Hakka?

[@AndreaKChen]

Wow, I'm hakka born in Panama and I just realized that we have different accent I didnt know it exist. Thank you for making this video. I've been apart from my family for a long time and havent heard anyone speaking hakka for a while and I dont want to forget speaking and listening ❤

[@inmimisbowl]

Hi nice to meet you and thank you for watching! 💛

[@Betterlucky]

Me too, i'm from Panama, and I like the accent did she use in her videos.

[@Rennn-vv5id]

I'm also from Panama, but I'm just ¼ Chinese. My great-grandparents could speak Hakka, but my grandpa could only understand it, no one speaks Hakka in my family now :(

Nice to come across your video. I am Hakka from the same village as you; Guangdong, Dongguan, Feng Guang, Huang Dong, Liang Pai Wui. I’ve also heard Linglam/Lingnam. We are Hung/Wan & Cheng (Cantonese spelling). My mum also makes mee tang exactly the same as what you showed. Your Hakka wah is the same, but I can’t speak as smoothly or as well as you. I’m born and raised in London.

[@inmimisbowl]

Thank you, glad you enjoy them :)

[@sikezeng9064]

Wow your Hakka is very good. Your English and Canto is good also. I speak with the Dongguan Hakka sound as well so this sounds like home for me. Really impressed your can speak so well and also keep up with Canto and English.

Hi Michelle, thanks for this wonderful video! Love it so much!

[@Braihei]

I like when you speak our langage. I'm hakka moy from Tahiti French Poloynesia, a small island in the Pacific ocean. When i listen you, you speak very well like me, when i speak with my mother, often i speak with french langage because i don't find the words to speak with her. So hard.

[@D31T7]

woaaaaa never heard of hakka from suriname and this is my first timee, i understand 80% of it since some r still the same but different tone and some of it is hard for me to process buttt this is very interestinggg, thank you for this video ! im hakka from indonesia , specifically in west borneo, 山口洋.

Hong Kong born Hakka living in the UK. Thanks for the great video.

[@Robgti180]

I totally understand your Hakka. Plus my grandma (my mother's mum) was born in Surinam too and she moved back to Hong Kong when she married my grandpa. In fact she can read and write which was a rarity back in those days and she would read out the letters the oversea men folk would sent home to their wives.

[@inmimisbowl]

waw that's wonderful, thanks for sharing.

love this video, I am not Hakka but my late maternal grandma is. I missed her speaking hakka to her sisters. I missed her very much. thanks for making this video.

[@user-lg8pb4rg7e]

Like yourself, I am a "lai-ap" also, first generation Trinidadian hakka (hello neighbor!). Enjoying your vids and re-learning a lot! What piqued my interest in this particular video was the location of your parents villages. My parents are no longer with us but I can remember them mentioning their village as being "Liang Pai wei" and/or "Leung su ha" interchangeably. Following your direction, I was able to locate Huang Dong but nothing further. Did you locate "Liang Pai wei" on the map? If yes, would you be so kind as to provide further details of its location? Thank you for your hard work.

[@richardloh4559]

Hello! I like ur long Hakka talking with English subtitles to improve my hakka . Ur hakka same with my father's Hakka Fui Chew.

[@clivechin6128]

Michelle, thanks for sharing and encouraging others to continue with speaking Hakka, a dying language sadly if not promoted. I am originally from Sabah, Malaysia and my parents are from Northern Territory, HK. Originally this place was part of BaoAn, or Sin On (the old name of BaoAn). BaoAn was a big areas over 200 years ago but now part of Shenzhen. The Hakka dialect is more similar for people in Huizhou, HuiYang, Shenzhen. As you move north towards MeiZhou (MoiYen - old name), the accent differs and if you move even more north towards Fujian, its almost unintelligible - for me anyways. I spoke Hakka most of my childhood days in Sabah. I have live in China Shenzhen last 13 years a learnt a lot more about the language and the variations / regions. Thanks again for sharing, keep doing it.

[@khanhmtv1]

My maternal grandparents are Hakka in Vietnam. My great-grandparents are from the Guangzhou area so maybe that's why your accent is very similar to how my grandparents would speak it. There are a few words that are pronounced differently, though. Thank you for your Hakka content!

[@Novarian_skies]

My mom spoke hakka and I've always wanted to learn :( Unfortunately my grandma died and now my mom has no one to talk to in hakka, it feels nice knowing I can still find others who also speak it

[@nuyoo6504]

I understand your Hakka completely, but I wouldn't be able to speak it so smoothly as you. My family is Hong Kong Hakka. I really want to learn it since I have cantonese down, but I found the only Hakka resources available are the Taiwanese dialect of Hakka, which is SO different to what my family speaks.

[@yct6500]

Thanks for your video. I like it very much.

[@patrickleong8374]

Sounds so similar to the version my grandparents spoke. They were from Moi Yen and migrated to Malaysia.

Loving the hakka content! What is a "lai ap"?

[@inmimisbowl]

Thanks yi :) Lai ap is a term Chinese people born in Suriname call themselves. Chinese immigrants (like the parents of the 'lai ap') would then be 'tjien ap' or pure duck. And if Chinese people get married with another ethnicity group, their children will be called 'fan ap', meaning foreign duck. I got this at this website: www.suriname.nu/302ges/archi144.html

[@androidboxhome586]

I have been walked from LongGang to FengGang, the distance is only about serval kilometers. The local residents of LongGang also speak Hakka. However, I work at HONGKONG, where most of people speak Cantanese. Only very few people speak Hakka. I am very very glad to watch your vedios about Hakka because I also love the culture of Hakka. I have watched serval vedios of your, it is very impressive. Some books read by you are introduced in this vedio, it is very good. I hope you can recommend some English books to people like me who learn English as a second language. By the way, can I transmit your vedios to some Chinese social APP, such as WeChat? I hope to make friends with you.
