Another year, another celebration. This time we had our Zamenhof Day celebrated at Pingtung Park on Sunday, December 22nd, 2019. Pingtung Park is located about a 10-15 minute walk away from Pingtung train station. It was held in a nice and cozy cafe that sells various delicious creative food, such as curry rice, pizza, and cakes. I ordered curry rice because, to be honest, that is my favorite!

Watching TV in your target language is also one of many good ways to learn and improve your language skills. Some of you may have a satellite TV at home, and that's a great tool. If you don't have one, don't worry, as long as you have good internet, you also can watch foreign TV channels.

My friend, Sanda, is a native Chinese and Hakka speaker from Taiwan. Like most Chinese speakers, Sanda has difficulties in learning English.
