Mr. Lad, I think its very commendable that you impart Hokkien (Penang Hokkien) & Bahasa Malaysia to Naomi and Ailsa not forgetting the little one. Im fr KL, due to visit PG again in early Sept with Aussie friends. Its so delightful to hear Pg Hokkien spoken. For me if the food vendor/hawker speaks Pg Hokkien then the food is 200% legit. If they speak Mandarin (no disrespect) , Cantonese (again no disrespect) for sure I give it a miss😂. Hope to meet you somewhere in Penang soon. Perhaps you could take me to a hidden gem for Pg Hawker food... Cheers !
Hahahaha yeah you are right, Hokkien is the language of northen Malaysian Chinese, even up to Perlis and Alor Setar! Drop me an email at chinaloysius@gmail.com if I am around I am sure we can enjoy a cup of kopi together or something!
Can understand the challenges of kuds today trying to pick up Hokkien & Bahasa. Also trying to get them to order things themselves and I guess over time, they will gain more confidence to speak out
Yes, when you converse daily for example..when you say simple words like eat then say it in BM..makan n the same word in hokkien..so they learn a word a day..children learn fast
An excellent example of a wholesome dad....loving, caring, understanding, friendly...keep it up, bro. Creating and giving your children opportunities to communicate is the best method for learning languages and dialects. Can I seek help from you regarding the "old" name for one pasembur item....the elongated flour fritters with pointed ends....many called it, "Cucur Tepong" but in the olden days, it was called something else...kola or kala something? Thanks.
Been following you and your family Vlog for quite sometime bro....yes indeed it is great to watch all your videos and it is very entertaining and best of all you have a great lovely family bro....keep it up and all the best always to you and Family
My favorite yong tau hoo stall. Thought it opens only from Thursday till Sunday. 16:00 normally we used noh kap.to order...the poh piah now has a different aroma probably from the change in crab meat. I preferred Cecil St food court poh piah opposite the duck koay teow soup. Another stall at Padang Brown, tau kua chien is no longer in business. Very simple and yet so good.
yes this is a gd for kids to local dialect, nowaday many families have the same problem dont want to learn hokkien on my side they understand but refuse to talk back hokkien , hoping ur kids will learn fast , gd job👍
Hi lad just subscribed to your channel today. For me to master in new language or dialect listen to songs with lyrics in front of you second choice will be watch movies without subtitled
Love Naomi's uniform ... much better than the standard blue pinafore that I had. But I don't like that the name is on it ... too much info for scammers/stalkers?
Nice daddy buying popiah for Ah Kong. To encourage Naomi to speak BM and / or Mandarin just use it with her and the siblings. This habit will become automatically accustomed to in due course. Naomi appears to be a “ quai “ young girl. Singapore’s bronze Olympic winner’s mother was reported to have said that she only spoke Mandarin to him ( though his dad speaks German) and he’s now effectively bilingual. Keep it up.
Yeah I saw the lok lok stalls getting ready for biz around 12.30pm. BTW have you tried the chwee kuih there? I saw the sign but it wasn't open yet. Just near the yong tau foo stall.
@@pishedbloke Ive got chai po from bangkok, was gonna try steam some:) but no, i will go check it out there. there is an aunty selling nice hainanese poh piah + roti babi
U normally speak to your children in English? Or also mandarin and hokkien at home? They don't learn bahasa in school? I pick up Cantonese by speaking with my dad. I do speak English with my mum though. Mandarin I pick up along the way by speaking to friends etc... can understand a little hokkien though. Can't speak much.. hahaha.
The kids speak English most of the time. My wife speaks Hokkien with me 80% of the time. So they can understand the language but just won't speak it with us. I hope they will use it more with outsiders!
wa, the yong tao foo in Penang got spare part choices? you make me jealous! on improving bahasa, maybe can listen to more malay songs, read more malay story books, maybe that may help.
That is a good suggestion, I will pickup some comics and storybooks in Malay for them to encourage them more! Thank you! I think the YTF here is like half YTF and half pork soup with the spare parts... it has been around quite a long time, I remember going to this stall as a kid.
If you want your children to learnt to speak their mother tongue, it got to start with you. In all your videos, i can only see and heard you speaks English with them
I speak Hokkien to my family at home actually. My wife and I speak Hokkien too and so does my mom. Of course I try to speak only English in my videos, otherwise it won't be very appealing to non-speakers, right? I have even made some videos in Bahasa like the one to Kg Melayu.
Yup speaking regularly with outsiders will improve lamguangr proficiency and here in Malaysia is a good place to do that
Thanks, I hope they will be better over time!
Mr Dad, i love your videos, recording the treasured memories of family life.
Thank you.... I am not rich, but I have a treasure in memories! :)

Ya, I think the best way to learn a language is to just be forced to use it! Classes help, but practise is a must.
Pen jodoh bilangan? That's good one!
I like your daughter ❤
Hehehe she is almost a teenager now. Let's see how it goes LOL
Yes, when you converse daily for example..when you say simple words like eat then say it in BM..makan n the same word in hokkien..so they learn a word a day..children learn fast
Ha! The best place of Popiah in Penang! It’s the wet type 😋
It was quite nice, I will order it again if I go there!
Good initiative bro…must encourage the kids to learn local dialect…even my kids also refused to pick up hokkien, hainanese. I also pening bro
Kia kia bro... let's teach our kids Hokkien, make them order food and count money at kopitiam! 😅😅😅
Ok bro agree…mebe reward them…if they can converse in basic hokkien
An excellent example of a wholesome dad....loving, caring, understanding, friendly...keep it up, bro.

Thank you very much... the kids can test our patience too sometimes! But as parents we got to remember we are the adults and teach them well. :)
Nice video Bro 👍🏻 I may end up in Penang end of this month for some work and leisure 🤗
If got time we can go makan somewhere bro!
@@pishedbloke Absolutely Bro 👍🏻
Btw can't wait for your market video...
Hahahaha I hope it won't be boring LOL I still haven't figured out how to film it. Maybe I will just vlog it out first.
Hi bro I watched your video suddenly saliva drop 🤤
Hee hee... can go supper! Nowadays our culture have changed, not so many people go out for supper like those days before the pandemic.
Been following you and your family Vlog for quite sometime bro....yes indeed it is great to watch all your videos and it is very entertaining and best of all you have a great lovely family bro....keep it up and all the best always to you and Family
Wow what a nice compliment, thank you sir!!! I will try to make better videos for you guys!

Ya the popiah has a strong seafood smell compared to others. Not sure if everyone will enjoy that, for me it is quite good.

No harm trying to encourage them... it is part of integrating into society next time!

Hi Naomi. How are you? This is Ms. Grace from Pelita.
Hi Teacher... hope you are well, I will ask Naomi to respond when she gets back from school! So nice to hear from you!
@@pishedbloke it is so good to see her here. Thank you Mr. Chin.
I can faintly recall you being the monitor of a Form 3 Class at SAHC, AS, around 1986 or 1987.
Bro... I was in 3A1, I was a prefect in Form 4 and 5.
Hi Mr. Lad, I hope we can meet each other one of these days, what do you think? I am in SP with my wife.
Oh if you see me in the kopitiam please say hello! I actually meet quite a lot of people this way
Love Naomi's uniform ... much better than the standard blue pinafore that I had.
But I don't like that the name is on it ... too much info for scammers/stalkers?
I don't think it is much of an issue lah, it is only for secondary students, and it is only for school.

@@chehhengong1576 I think we have to be at least bilingual here in Malaysia. Best way is to practice with others. 😀

@@dinocheong3792 wow that sounds like a plan!
How do your children speak to your parents and other family members.
@@limpek001 mostly in English!
Most younger generation no longer speak dialect and their mother tongue.😂
Yes, if we don't teach them the language will die off in one or two generations. So sad!

Next time she will kahwin Singaporean and no need for Bahasa and Hokkien. Only need English and Mandarin.
Hahahaha even so, I think it is an advantage to learn Bahasa. It will broaden her horizons.
@@pishedbloke But don't embarrass her too much, lol.
