A Language Shelf for Taiwan
A free learning platform covering Taiwanese Hokkien, Taiwanese Hakka, and 16 Indigenous languages with lessons, reference books, searchable phrases, and human recordings.
Field notes
The site separates guided study from reference use: its video route includes narrated lessons and exercises, while the 16-language reference books cover writing systems, pronunciation, grammar, conversation, and vocabulary. A Chinese-input search reaches corpus examples and recordings across 18 languages, and audio can be played sentence by sentence or word by word. The homepage also lists highly uneven lesson coverage, from 90 lessons for several languages to 3,169 for Taiwanese Hakka.
