Your first week with Taiwanese Hokkien

  1. Days 1 and 2: make the first phrase familiar. Start with “Hello”. Hear it, try it, and revisit it tomorrow.

  3. Days 5 through 7: put your voice first. Revisit your Taiwanese Hokkien starter phrases. Choose the one you would most like to use in a real conversation.

This is a suggested practice routine. Move at the pace that works for you.
