Thanks, @fremandolasse. I've listened to some of that RTI show, and it's great. I should listen again.
@pyrrho Taiwanese — as in Taiwanese Hokkien / Minnan — is roughly as different from Mandarin as English is from Dutch. Different vocabulary, grammar, different tonal system, and a pretty wild array of different writing systems which people love to argue over.
This is clearly ridiculous behaviour. As if I am going to go up to my neighbours and say, in heavily accented Tâi-gí:"A-má! Let me tell you about the axolotl!"
My idea of a wild Saturday night. Reading about Axolotls in #Taiwanese. Let nobody say that I don’t know how to have a good time.
Come and be my colleague (if you're nice, that is)! #Parami university is hiring. And it's a brilliant thing, working with students from #Myanmar and beyond. The students are just wonderful, and we have an eclectic gang of colleagues scattered across the globe.
If you're interested, and want to message to ask anything, feel free.
