An App Developer’s Mission to Mainstream His Native Language (ft. Lîm Sim-An) | #InTaiwanWeSpeak

from In Taiwan We Speak · host Oleksandr Shyn

Have you heard of a Taiwanese dictionary that once topped Duolingo on the App Store? In this episode, we welcome Lîm Sim-An, the creator of Taro Taiwanese Dictionary. Inspired by his own journey of reconnecting with his native language Taigi, Sim-An built an app to help others on the same path. “I think my grandma would be proud,” he shares as he reflects on his work and its deeper message: “There are no ‘backward’ languages, only languages whose development has been hindered.” Tune in now to hear Sim-An’s story!
