Your Hakka is quite different from what I use in daily life. I'm a Hakka from Indonesia. I assume it's the different diaspora that makes our language different as well 😝 even the Hakka across Indonesia doesn't completely the same. Each Hakka from a particular island will sound and talk kinda differenly from another one. But still, if we meet and somehow talk to each other, we will understand.
Hi, your Hakka is same as mine. I’m from Kota Kinabalu, east Malaysia and all Chinese speak same Hakka. My grandfather was from Guangdong, China. Now I live in Perth. Plenty Hakka here also…
I’m Hong-Kong Hakka village from Lai Chi Wo I don’t know ANY Hakka and only a little Cantonese P.S I live in England now. Also this Hakka sounds different to the Hong Kong area Hakka
I’m so happy I came across your channel while trying to discover more about Hakka culture. My grandparents were Hakka gnyn from Meixian and I’m now living in Mauritius. I would have loved to be as fluent as you and though some word pronunciation is slightly differently, I somehow do understand! It’s great to know that Hakka people is everywhere. I really love watching your videos because your cheerfulness makes them so enjoyable! Keep up the good work and looking forward for your future videos! Btw, which part of China are your parents from?
I was born in Indonesia, hakka is my native language although my mum is thiew chiu. Now I am living in Australia, barely know anyone that share the same language...
So happy to hear you speak Hakka which is very interesting. The Hakka had been always migrating/going from north China to the south, then to, all over the places/world all the time for a very long time, I think, since the Tang dynasty. Since they move/migrate at different period of time, they carried the Hakka phrase, pronunciation etc., of that period wherever they go. Also, the local place/language wherever they went, also influence their Hakka. Hence, there are so many different Hakka dialects, some of which I could only understand around 30% (Yongding Hakka which is heavy influenced by Fujian). Your Hakka sound similar to mine, the Guangdong Meixian/Moiyan Hakka (Older name Kaying Chu, (I am in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) but the words/phrases used were from an older generation, like my grandparents used to speak...that was very nice. Thanks.
Hi Michelle. Thank you so much for posting these videos. I’m a Chinese American and it upsets me that I cannot speak my grandmas language because I’ve only learned Cantonese through TVB. I’m hopeful that I can communicate with my grandma in Hakka one day
HI, your hakka reminds me of my childhood when we ,especially the elders speak quite similar as yours. But the tune is a little different. my homeland is west Fujian
I had many dogs in China. They were left behind in China when we moved to the Canada. I can understand good amount of what you are saying as a Cantonese/Mandarin speaker.
Hi, enjoyed your video very much. It was funny, interesting and helpful for me to understand hakka better. Reminding me of so many expressions I forgot. Hope to see more of your videos in future. Here are some more expressions to add to the video (excuse my spelling/translations if incorrect): (We can use "Lem Poot Poot" to describe Cha Sao Bao) 1) Man Man Loy = very slowly come here 2) Kai Kai Zeou = very quickly run 3) Keang Keang Soo = very carefully drive 4) Peang Tat Tat = very, very flat (like to describe nose...haha) 5) Soy Dak Dak = very bad, not good 6) Lak Lak Fan = upside down, wrong-sided 7) Loong Loong Hee Lai? = not sure how to translate....searching, searching to go where? 8) Ngam Ngam Dook Dook = not sure how to translate....very nagging (like to describe person)
In Malaysia, a lot of tradional expressions have been simplified. So instead of fui toot toot, I now say hao fui. The word hao is now used as very. Saying this the hakka diversity is so huge depending on where one ancestor's come from in China. So a fui chiew hak pronunciation may be different than a hor por hak which also may be different than moi yen hak or even a guandong hak.
I'm Hakka. Was born in what is now Kota Kinabalu Malaysia. Currently in Canada. So great to hear how we would speak back in the home country. Funny too. Thanks.
This is a little helpful of looking into your root and learn about who you come from. I am Vietnamese living in USA where I know my father family is rooting from Hakka people in the past. This kind of cool to learn the language of your ancestral. Thanks!
Love this video. I am Hakka as well, and my grandmother used to speak to me in Hakka. I was born in Jakarta. I live in the US now and started to embrace my Hakka root and doing my best to speak Hakka with my mom. So thank you and keep posting videos please!
Awesome, thanks for telling me where you're from. It's so nice to hear where everyone is in the world! Thanks for watching too, let me know if you have any video suggestions :)
Is it possible to share the facebook group? Both my parents side strangely speak Hakka and while I knew it conversationally as a kid and used a mixture of hakka, canto, and english to speak with my parents and grandparents, ever since I went to college and now living away and working full-time, I've lost a significant portion of it.
Thank you thank you for making these fun videos. 🙏 Keep making them 😀 My grandparents (the 19th century people 😀) were from a village (now it’s a city) in Guang Dong area. They didn’t speak Mandarin. They spoke Hakka. Your videos have helped me in remembering what they told over the years.
Thank you so much for your videos! Hakka zei from Sandakan Malaysia, now in Canada. Really enjoy your videos and your priceless expressions. Keep going!
My maternal and paternal grandmother are Hakka and married to hokkiens my both maternal and paternal grandfather. When I am small I very enjoy listen my grandmother talks in Hakka. My mother in law is a Hakka too but when she speaks it's different and quite hard for me to catch what she says. She is from Penang Northern side of peninsula Malaysia. I am from central peninsula Malaysia Kuala Lumpur.

Hello, I have hakka blood from my dad who is born in French Guyana near Surinam. As a matter of fact, he got the same pronunciation as yours! I am from Paris and my hakka is improving thanks to your videos. Didn't have the chance to inherit from my dad...so sad
What's up Michelle, Something made me youtube my Hakka background today and I found your channel. It's so refreshing to hear hakka from someone else other than my parents. Lol.. I was born in Vietnam and currently living in Toronto, Canada. Just subscribed, and I'll be watching. Keep up the great work!
@@user-tg9kg6sw2e Yes.. I mainly speak hakka with my parents and even than, I'm kinda mixing it up with Vietnamese and English for words I don't know how to say. I'm in Toronto, where are you?
@@Klas6ixx Ahh! I always found Vietnamese difficult to learn. I'm in Toronto as well and actually looking for a fluent Vietnamese speaker for interpretation!
@@user-tg9kg6sw2e I picked up Vietnamese when I was a child in a refugee camp horsing around with other kids. I can also speak a bit of Cantonese from watching hk movies growing up. Any chance you speak Mandarin? I would like to learn it for my travels to China in the future. Maybe we can help each other out by exchanging languages?

Here are some more expressions to add to the video (excuse my spelling/translations if incorrect):
(We can use "Lem Poot Poot" to describe Cha Sao Bao)
1) Man Man Loy = very slowly come here
2) Kai Kai Zeou = very quickly run
3) Keang Keang Soo = very carefully drive
4) Peang Tat Tat = very, very flat (like to describe nose...haha)
5) Soy Dak Dak = very bad, not good
6) Lak Lak Fan = upside down, wrong-sided
7) Loong Loong Hee Lai? = not sure how to translate....searching, searching to go where?
8) Ngam Ngam Dook Dook = not sure how to translate....very nagging (like to describe person)
Got another one :) 9) Zeou Giak Giak = Run very fast, similar to (2)
In Malaysia, a lot of tradional expressions have been simplified. So instead of fui toot toot, I now say hao fui. The word hao is now used as very.

It would be better if you can phase out English in your videos teaching Hakka which gives us more opportunities to practice listening.
Vinter Zhen Do you mean that I can speak more Hakka instead? I’m not sure what you meant with ‘phase out’ 🙃
@@inmimisbowl Hahaha, exactly, speak more Hakka.
