Phonology of the Fuzhou dialect?

I am learning this language and every website seems to disagree with one another. Would anyone offer to point me in the right direction?

Fuzhou dialect learning resources?

Hi all, I am interested in learning the Fuzhou dialect. So far all I have found in the way of learning resources is a children's learning website from Matsu in Taiwan (which is really inconvenient to use) and a few books written by missionaries in the 19th century. Does anyone who has studied Fuzhounese have any more resources to share? Thanks!

Therapy for family.

Hello, I hope you all are doing well. I'll pose the question up front and then a short backstory to hopefully help with context.

Question, where can I look online for therapy/counciling from someone who can understand language wise for my mom? She is Chinese and speaks Mandarin and Fuzhou dialect.

I'm away for university and can't go home. My mother is having a hard time with empty nest and overall having to work for a long time and finally retired. I speak to her once a week but I realized that my mom has some things weighing her down not in a good place mentally. There are things die to tradition and family that she won't talk to me about, plus I am not equiped with skills to help her. I'm just looking for good places to start searching or ideas. I'm thinking online is probably the easier option than trying to find someone qualified nearby.

SERIOUS: This subreddit needs to understand what a "dad joke" really means.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Just because it's a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
