Learning Hakka

(whuut? she is blogging about this in V-day?)

Yes sure!

You had any problem with that?

-.-||

So yea, I am a Hakka

But the problem is

I don't know Hakka

Sadly

=(

The other day my grandparents came to my house

I wanted to entertain them

So we chit-chatted

My grandpa was like "you hakka you donno hakka?"

I was like smiling shyly and twisting my body around

Awkward!

huh, I haven't given that thought as much as a consideration

Hmm~

So I decided to ask him to teach us Hakka!

He started by @#$&*^%$@%^&

And I was like WHUUUT did he say?

Martian or something?

He chuckled ( sad huh) and decided to go slow with me.

We started by numbers.

Yit Nyi Sam Si Mm

Luk Qik Bat Qiu Sip

So far so good!

Then we went to person's point of view

Me - ngai

You - Nyi

He/She - Qi

(Note, the pronunciation are starting to repeat here)

So after a few more sessions,

I am dead beat!

I laughed non-stop when my cousin Kathy

told me the way of pronouncing some words..

I thought it sounded vulgar!

XD

It was a great day and

I've learnt a lot as I laughed as much

But this makes me wonder

How long can our mother tongue last in this modern era?

Everyone's learning those so called 'savvy language'

And many had ignored their mother tongue

Should this be an issue?

Is it important for us to learn and to commute with it?

Or should main languages be dominating?

Hmm, question marks....
