Xindanwei Chitchat edition 7: The Future of the Shanghai dialects
Time: 16:30 – 18:30, May 28, 2010
Cost:free
Host:Kellen Parker
The dialects of Wu are a big part of life for most native Shanghainese, used for day-to-day conversations with family and friends. But what does the future hold for the dialects? Is there value in preservation? What’s being done now to protect the language? Sinoglot’s Kellen Parker hopes you’ll come join the discussion at Xindanwei on Friday the 28th at 4:30. Come give your opinions and reflections on the language of 90 million people. The talk will be in English but feel free to participate in Chinese.

cass,
You can use Chinese too. The talk will be in English but the discussion is almost always in English and Chinese. Most of the foreigners that attend can speak or understand Chinese, and most of the Chinese people who attend can understand and speak English.
