You can speak Hakka? That's SO cool! My mother's Taiwanese- she speaks Hakka fluently. It always sounds so cool . . . I've been bugging her to teach it to me, but her response is always the same "Hakka is almost extinct. You barely know Mandarin. So tell me . . . why should I teach you Hakka?" *sigh* oh well . . .
