Penang Hokkien Podcast 庇能福建

Guest: Hau-Tiaunn A-Long

I invited Hau-Tiaunn A-Long to discuss with us the system we use to accurately write Hokkien. You have to first learn the system, then you can use this way of writing to type Hokkien in Chinese characters by installing a new input method.

Get familiarized with the Penang Hokkien Romanisation System.
Then learn how to type Penang Hokkien on your computer.
