The Teochew Store www.theteochewstore.org
We would like to share an interesting project “Wa Si Teochew Kia”, by Jason Heng, the co-founder from The Teochew Store.
The Teochew Store is an independent website originated from Singapore to promote Teochew culture and it’s language (dialect).
Jason Heng is implementing this project “Wa Si Teochew Kia” to promote learning of the Teochew dialect for children under age 3 with their parents, via a set of multimedia bilingual flashcards – My First 120 - Teochew Expressions《我是潮州囝——精选一百二十潮语词语》
A crowdfunding campaign is launched recently to raise funds for the production of the flashcards and videos, more information can be found in this link - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/theteochewstore/wa-si-teochew-kiamy-first-120-teochew-expressions
Please feel free to support this project at your own means and convenience (deadline to respond - 15 Aug 2022!), more information can be found at the end of this email.
