help me improve my hokkien

[Leslie]

Hello everyone! I'm new to the forum.

I'd like to know if everyone could help me improve my hokkien. my whole family speaks hokkien, and my cousins and relatives in the philippines, and all my relatives. i can understand what they are talking about mostly, but if someone will directly speak to me in hokkien, i'm lost. =[

i'd liek to learn some basics first,. i know vocabulary here and there but i would really appreciate the help! cause i want to speak my own dialect as well and not be the only one left out!

thanks so much! =]
