Does Hokkien Sound Funny?
Does Hokkien sound really funny as claimed by Innitra? I strongly disagree. I believe those who understand and use it in everyday conversation would find it pleasant.
Re: Does Hokkien Sound Funny?
Of course, Dutch sounds funny too. So do other languages, doesn't everyone agree?
Well, the 'funny' pronunciation is due to the fact that we may just not seem to be used to listening to another language or even understand it. Of course, I get really offended how people view different languages as 'inferior' even though we cannot judge languages as inferior much like races.

By constant practice with people who speak it correctly and learning from mistakes. Pursuing a formal Hokkien Language course if it is available in your locality would definitely help.

Can I Speak Hokkien More Better (I think you mean Kan Ai Su Pik Hok Gian Mo Beo Ta) was fine last time I saw him...
