Singapore Hokkien · structured speaking lessons

Learn to speak Singapore Hokkien, properly.

Short guided lessons built around one loop: a native-speaker voice models the phrase, you say it back, and your pronunciation is scored with specific feedback — every phrase, every session.

The method

Three beats, every phrase.

Not flashcards and not a phrasebook — deliberate speaking practice with measurable feedback, from your very first phrase.

1

Hear the model

A native-speaker voice says the phrase clearly, at natural pace. Replay as many times as you need.

食饱未? jiak ba buay?
2

Say it back

Record yourself on any device. Your audio is scored and then discarded — only the result is kept.

The curriculum

Built for how Singapore actually speaks.

Structured topic packs, each ending with a real-world field test — order at the kopitiam, call your grandmother, survive Chinese New year visiting.

Heartland Singapore Hokkien

The accent and phrases your family actually uses — learned from native speakers, not textbook Taiwanese. Simplified characters and plain street spelling; no Tâi-lô homework.

Objective pronunciation scoring

Every recording is graded against a native reference for match and clarity, with a specific correction each round — you always know which sound to fix next.

A vocab log after every session

Each phrase you practised is recorded with its meaning and your score, sorted into revise / practising / mastered — measurable progress, ready for review.

Fifteen focused minutes a day

Sessions are capped and structured: warm-up, revision of weak phrases, at most two new ones, cool-down. Consistency over cramming.

Pricing

Simple, honest pricing.

Group dialect classes in Singapore run S$200+ for four sessions. This costs less than a daily kopi.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

I know zero Hokkien. Can I start?

Yes — the course assumes nothing. Lessons start from your very first phrase, and by the end of lesson one you'll be able to ask someone if they've eaten, with pronunciation that passes a native-reference score.

How is this different from a phrasebook or YouTube?

You speak, and you're scored. Every phrase, your pronunciation is graded against a native reference and you're told exactly which sound to fix — then you try again until it sticks. Reading and watching can't close that loop.

Is the tutor a real person?

No — the tutor is AI, and we never pretend otherwise. The voice and the Hokkien are learned from native Singapore speakers; the patience is unlimited, and it's available at 11pm.

Singapore Hokkien or Taiwanese Hokkien?

Singapore. The course teaches heartland Hokkien — the phrases used at local dinner tables — in simplified characters with plain street spelling. No Tâi-lô romanization homework.

What happens to my recordings?

Each recording is sent for scoring and then discarded — only the score is kept. Your vocab logs and progress belong to you: export or delete everything, anytime.

Fifteen minutes a day. Real, scored speaking.

The best time to learn Hokkien was twenty years ago. The second-best time is your next kopi break.
