Taiwan seems to be #1

Taiwan has all the old chinese culture, with influences from japan, korea, singapore

its perfect

Taiwan is better than the mainland any day

for day to day living and qualitty of life, its much higher

saying that, the standards are much higher there

if you have a degree, and are a native english speaker, you could get a job in mainland tomorrow

Can you get a job in Taiwan with no chinkspeak?

yes, but you'd better be good at what u do and work for a foreign company

I am quite good at shitposting

I can derail whole threads on 4chan with one comment

learn hokkien for bonus points

Taiwan euthanizes autists , though, so you might want to go work in greece instead

you'll pull like crazy

I know min-nan basics

Because my gf's parents barely speak mandarin

I just see

Hokkien = Min Nan

I have the Cantonese skills of an 8 year old lol

``` In common parlance, Southern Min usually refers to Hokkien, including Amoy and Taiwanese Hokkien; both are combinations of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou speech. The Southern Min dialect group also includes Teochew, though Teochew has limited mutual intelligibility with Hokkien. Southern Min is not mutually intelligible with Eastern Min, Cantonese, or Standard Chinese.```

in fact, I have a 250-300 words vocabulary

chinese tourists take their bad habits with them

It's not even the most useless language I've ever learned because I used to work in objective c

here is in the uk

Hokkien sounds better than mandarin tbh

yes but it's much more fucked up to learn

no quality resources

true

peoehji or whatever it's called is harder to learn than the language itself

most confusing romanisation system ever

The next problem with learning Hokkien is that speakers pretend to understand you even if they don't

Never figured out why

its rude to ask "excuse me what the fuck did you say about my dead poodle?" maybe

or some sort of similar cultural thing

Yes but if I say "your dead poodle is a retarded piece of shit" you don't answer "yes yes sure"

probably because they're too fascinated about a westerner speaking it

"no not the poodle .. the noodle bar"

in Asia, they treat you like a god if you're white and speak their language, however badly

people believe if kids have to pee, they cant hold it, they must go exactly where they are standing immediately

@kaetaa delete this pls

I'm at work
