The Mosei Academy of Taiwanese Language and Literacy (Keng-lâm Su-īⁿ) is holding a webinar on February 14, 2025 to present their organization's projects. I imagine that one of the things they'll be talking about is their recently-published "Tâi-gí: Fluency Unlocked" children's textbook.

About the Mosei Academy: "Our mission is to promote and preserve the spoken Taiwanese language, or Tâi-gí, and the written Taiwanese language, or Tâi-bûn, by providing accessible educational resources, establishing lecturer training capacities, fostering a supportive learning environment, promoting content creation, and strengthening Taiwanese identity."

So great to see the University in #Leicester in my old home-town doing this event on writing poetry and songs in Tâi-gí. It's on March 7th, 8pm Taiwan time, and high noon Leicester time.

I'm planning to attend, even at the cost of having to use Microsoft Teams. That's how excited I am for this.

華語「聚餐」

#台語 食(飯)會 chia̍h(-pn̄g)-hōe

A question for those who know pe̍h-ōe-jī. For punctuating direct speech, do you:

a) prefer double quotation marks
b) prefer single quotation marks
c) really not care... there are bigger issues to worry about...

#台語 #tâi-gí #taiwanese

In Tân Lûi's "Lán lâng ê si-kài," which is the only POJ text I have to hand, there are double quotation marks.

"Taigi: Fluency Unlocked", a new #Taiwanese language (Tâi-gí) textbook, was recently published. I've ordered a copy to add to my Taiwanese language-learning book collection.

Tīⁿ, Têng-têng, _Taigi: Fluency Unlocked: Tâi-gí Ū Liàn-tńg_, Mosei Academy of Taiwanese Language and Literacy (Keng-lâm Su-īⁿ), 2025
ISBN-13: 979-8991338608
Paperback, 124 pages

As I understand it, it's a textbook intended for English-speaking children, written in English and Pe̍h-ōe-jī romanization, with no Mandarin. The publisher, Mosei Academy of Taiwanese Language and Literacy, is a group associated with the Taiwanese American Center of Northern California. ("Taigi: Fluency Unlocked" is the textbook the TAC is using for their "Fun Taigi for Kids" class this upcoming semester.)

From the back cover:
"The first book in the world where children don't have to know Chinese characters in order to learn Taigi! Becoming a Taiwanese kid is now easier than ever!
Start from basics with our rich content. Effortlessly master Taigi via one sentence pattern and a dozen of vocabulary words each lesson."

Also means: hoodlum, rascal.

I'm tempted to start using this in English, as in, "Sir, you are nothing but a roaming eel."

Thank you everyone for your tips yesterday on how to get started on translating #ubuntu #linux into #taigi #台語 #Taiwanese.
Seems like there is a lot to get organised to get this project off the ground. I am excited to get going on it!
There are too many communities with languages that are not digitally supported yet, lets fill those gaps as best as possible.
