#SpeakHokkien

Speaking Hokkien to children
will help to make them multilingual, improving their...

...and it can help to

delay the onset of dementia for up to 5 years.

Attention span

Memory

Logical reasoning

Speed of processing

Metalinguistic awareness

Abstract and symbolic representation skills

Reading skills

Verbal fluency

Grandparents

will not be

around forever.

It is the parents' responsibility

to pass on Hokkien.

Your children will learn English regardless...

...but only you can teach them Hokkien.

The similarity between Mandarin and Hokkien

is 10% less than

English and German.

Hokkien is not 

a Mandarin 'dialect'.

Children can learn 

languages as

independent systems

if they are exposed to them.

Learning

multiple languages

during childhood

does not require special skills.

Congratulations

for being multilingual!

Your impressive abilities:

Hokkien

Mandarin

Malay

English

Cantonese

Teochew

etc...

Let's cherish this multilingual environment

for the next generation.
