First of all, I'm Nicole from Tamparuli, Sabah. I have a very unique family. It is because my dad's race is sino-Dusun while my mom is a pure Dusun. My dad can speak Hakka because his mom is a pure Hakka (that means she is my grandmother.LOL) So, here I want to teach ya'll that read my post how to speak the Hakka dialect especially the Hakka dialect in Sabah!!
