Eh. Gong simi? Many young Singaporeans might not be too familiar with their native dialects today, but it doesn’t have to always be this way. Apart from swapping tea with your ahma, tracing our dialects will help us ✨reconnect ✨with our cultural heritage and grasp our roots more deeply. Also, love advice from your ahma in Cantonese hits different with Josiah Leong, who is grandson to the cutest grandma on TikTok.
Remember to tell your grandparents you love them after listening to this. (Which btw, is Wa-ai-li in Hokkien).
