Foreign Languages Helped Kí Phín-tsì Rediscover His Native Tâi-gí

“A light-hearted, fun and occasionally funny.” Such was the Bite-Size Taiwanese podcast that taught everyday Tâi-gí to its audience. The project is no longer active, but its legacy continues to inspire many to take up learning Tâi-gí and those who speak it — to educate others. In this part of our interview, Kí Phín-tsì (紀品志), one of the podcast’s creators, talks about the project’s history, as well as his own story of becoming a Tâi-gí linguist and educator. New episodes are released every Tuesday at 21:00 (Taipei, GMT+8). For engaging updates and video snippets of #InTaiwanWeSpeak, follow Radio Taiwan International on socials and YouTube ⁠here⁠.
