Still, the most powerful media in Shantou is TV. We are lucky enough to get such a good PR from Shantou TV station. This can be proved by the number of emails I’ve received, comments in this blog, and dramatic increasing page view after the program about Maggie and MyShantou.net shown on TV tonight.
So HELLO again to those who come here through the program. I guess the number will keep increasing from now on. Maggie and I are very happy to see more and more people reading this blog, as well as expecting more people to join in our conversation and helping us. I’m so grateful that quite a few people said they wanted to join us or have some photos wanted to share. Thank you very much. I’m keeping all your emails and let’s keep in touch.

Hi, Dekings
I don’t quite get you. I guess you use translation software for the English you post. ???????????????
haha…that comment is so cute….
translation programmes do not work dear….
I’ve found a book titled A Pronouncing and Defining Dictionary of the Swatow Dialect, Arranged According to Syllables and Tones, which published by Ganesha Publishing. It is very useful for the study of Chaoshan Dialect. However, it is very expensive. If possible, I hope the Lin Baixin Library can purchase that book. More information is as follows:

I have a Chaoshanhua dictionary that one of my students gave to me when I mentioned I was learning it! See post.
