ndmmxiaomayi SG I understand Hokkien and Teochew, but can only speak Hokkien. I still speak Hokkien, so as to prevent my younger sis from understanding what I'm saying.
secretliker SG I can speak a little Hokkien, and understand a little Teochew and Cantonese. It's not alright to abandon dialects in my opinion. It's still a language afterall.
