He's actually a native Teochew speaker who lives in Belgium, so while Hokkien is similar, it is not actually his native language. If you've watched any of his other videos, he is actually quite good at several other languages if that interests you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017975631282521017.post-91142017596975354772011-02-22T07:27:55.165+08:002011-02-22T07:27:55.165+08:00okay, i'm just going to be a little snarky her...okay, i'm just going to be a little snarky here ... merry christmas? remember to practice speaking taiwanese? i'm an ABC (sorry, yes I'm chinese and taiwanese!)<br /><br />i've forgotten how to speak taiwanese and mandarin both, so yes, i'm a bad taiwanese/chinese/asian-american. but i am trying to relearn.<br /><br />however, i think it's a little ironic that "some people," myself included, can feel so opposed to Mainland influence in taiwan. what about western/christian influence into asian culture? <br /><br />everyone's spirituality is their own business, but will we live in one world in the future where western spirituality/monotheism dominates, and older spiritual systems that celebrated nature, polytheism, or simply a contemplation of self/the universe (buddhism, daoism, animism, tian xia, etc.) do not exist? <br /><br />just some food for thought. thank you for your writings.kid.wh(y)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02956797513845427964noreply@blogger.com
