EP.1 SPEAKING CHINESE ( TEOCHEW ) FOR 24HOURS!

[@micamcon]

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. ❤

[@withlovejlee]

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 🥰

[@withlovejlee]

PS I totally agree with you, every time I meet a Gaginang there’s just this indescribable connection 🥰

[@KUMANTONG-4D-POWER]

There is a saying by the Teochews:"潮州人，胶己人“ - Teochew Nang， Ka-Ki Nang . Meaning - Teochews are own folks. I am a Teochew, from Singapore.

[@Nyranvlog]

I’m half Cambodian half Teochow. So good to see this video but unfortunately I couldn’t speak Teochew

[@withlovejlee]

I’m similar, my family speaks Cambodian / Vietnamese but I can only speak English and Teochew 😆

[@sockhuanglim669]

I am always fascinated by people able to speak Teochew outside Malaysia and China as it reminds me of my parents. I am 2nd generation Teochew in Malaysia. Fortunately, most of my nieces and nephews still speak Teochew. My husband is Hokkien/Peranakan so my daughter does not speak Teochew but she can understand though.

[@Bunbun-f8e]

There is a lot teochew family in Thailand as well

[@googleuser9226]

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. I just wished more and more women + wives can be like that WONDER WOMAN.

[@withlovejlee]

Hello! Wow she does sound impressive! I have a lot of Wonder Women in my family who sound similar to who you’ve mentioned. They’re all hardworking, talented and family oriented Moms too. Although I’m no Wonder Woman but I have a lot of amazing people around me who I am fortunate enough to look up to. Thank you for reminding me of them and sharing your story ☺️

[@whynotcodm5759]

it was so fun to go back to shantou again, everyone was speaking teochew and it was so nice to hear it from people apart from my family. im in Shenzhen for the rest of the holiday now

[@withlovejlee]

That’s amazing 🥹

[@dennistan6716]

nice to hear overseas chinese speaking own dialect 👍🏻 i speaks hokkien to my 2 year old daughter. And at 2 years old she has no problem distinguishing english, hokkien and mandarin. So parents do not need to worry that it will confused their child with more than 1 language.

[@withlovejlee]

Hi Dennis, thanks for your comment ☺️ I agree with you, many children can learn and pickup different languages so well. You are raising a multilingual baby too, good job!

[@tr1bes]

My mom speaks 6 Chinese langauges. I got confused often. Mandarin, Cantonese, Fukien, Teochew, Hanienese, Hakka. Let along Vietnamese, English, Japanese and Korean. She was a teacher and then a business woman. You see i get confused often. I can speak Teochew and Vietnamese, English and French. I can understand Cantonese but not speak it.

[@kmbrlytrn]

It is still used in Thai China town where most people migrated from Teochew and still use this languang.

[@maggiethai2470]

Omg I'm in Canada too but I can't speak teochew that well because I forgot most of it when I learn english at a young age.

[@divingintoalmosteverthing6532]

I can speak teochew but then I don’t know some words since my mom never said them before and for some words she says it in Cantonese or mandarin. Therefore I end up mixing the 3 sometimes when I want to say a specific word but don’t know the teochew word for it . It’s so hard to find resources online or people to practice with . I’m very happy to find this channel now I can learn more vocabulary. I would say I can speak it but maybe 80% fluent 😬

[@withlovejlee]

Haha! I know what you mean, I feel the same every time someone random speaks Teochew 🙈

[@jimmylee1776]

I have seen this video before. I forgot to say in my previous comment that Teochew dialect has 8 tones. Those of us who grew up in a Teochew family speaking the dialect don’t realise the 8 tones. Some of the tones have a nasal sound. I’m from Brisbane, Australia (originally from Singapore). If u ever visit Brisbane please contact me. Cheers

Good to speak Teochew. Dont let the beautiful dialect die its natural death. Keep it up..here we speak almost all the Chinese dialets in Spore and Msia. My suster reside in US and Toronto they speak dialet at home..

[@jimmylee1776]

Thanks for this video. I think u have been living in the US for too long & lost some of the tones & nasal sounds used in Teochew. If u have time please go to Swatow (or Shantou in Mandarin). 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)

[@withlovejlee]

Thanks for your comment and suggestions. I'm born and raised in New Zealand, I grew up speaking Teochew with my family and we all have the same Teochew accent. I haven't visited Shantou but i've visited my ancestral hometown in Jieyang and hope to one day visit again :)

Aww love hearing our mother tongue Teochew 😊. I notice I only can understand it if person has family from Southeast Asia/accent. If it’s from chaozhou I can’t understand it 😩

[@len9505]

I have wondered about that. A lot of Teochew... aren't in Chaozhou. Neighboring cities have different dialects (Shantou, Jieyang), so it'd be interesting to see how the language has evolved outside of China.

[@evelynchew9590]

Yeah it's interesting cos my relatives (southeast Asia) say "kin tjik" for today but here it's "kin yik". I can kinda follow though but maybe 50%?

[@donna6889]

The baby spinach part had me dying 🤣

[@withlovejlee]

😆 How else would we say it though, right? 😋

[@Melodeelicious1]

For warm in Teochew you can say “luang" 暖 , and baby spinach ís called "pueh ling kia “ pueh ling means spinach and Kia means baby or small in this case. But if you say “no Kia”, it means a child or a kid.

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😭
