A group of islands lie in the seawater between Taiwan and the Philippines. This group of islands makes up the northernmost province of the Philippines: the Batanes province. Besides, it is also the smallest in population and land area. Less than 20,000 live in this province and speak the Ivatan language, whose standard is based on the Basco dialect from Basco the capital of this province located in the Batan island.  Although the Batanes province is closer to Taiwan than the main island of the Philippines, it is not one of the languages from Taiwan.

I spoke 4 languages: Hokkien, Indonesian, English, and Mandarin on my recent trip to Penang. There was no communication barrier since the Penangnites are mostly multilingual too, at least, they know a bit of each language. They are also familiar with the Indonesian language because of the many tourists from Indonesia, either for tourism or medical checkups. I had learnt Tamil before but it was not enough for me to have a conversation yet. I will learn Tamil more seriously from now on, so I can use it on my next trip to Penang.  The way I decide which language to use can be categorized ..read more

To tackle this problem, I started to make my own phrasebook where I write only sentences that I think are helpful and important in my life. However, it is not easy especially when I'm not familiar with the grammar but luckily, there are online translators to use. I use Google Translate most of the ..read more
