What else, besides having seven tones, makes Hakka a great language to learn this week? Tune in to the second part of our interview with Paul Shiang to find out. Who can teach us better, than the director of the only Hakka-language TV channel in the world? New episodes are released every Tuesday at 21:00 (Taipei, GMT+8).
