2011 LA客語講習會 (9/3-4/2011)

The Fifth Hakka Summer Camp in Los Angeles took place on 9/3 & 9/4 at the Los Angeles Culture Center, City of El Monte, California.  Our 128th (2011/August) Hakka Toastmasters Meeting was dedicated to this two days event.  Glad to see so many Hakka friends enjoyed very much together...Not only they study hard during the classes, also bunch-up to chat at the breaks.  These photos show them all!
Professor Ho and Wu are very popular and also the way of their approach seems working extremely well with majority of students.  I believe they got their jobs done and they earned their respects from our participants.

Salute to our volunteers team, they have devoted much time and efforts before, during and after the event.  There is only one thing bothered a few of us very much...The way this year's Registration seems to be way too loose. Apparently tried too hard to make it up for the headcounts... Anyone can easily observe that a great deal of people showed up simply for the "Foods" and "Gifts" !
This is not only a joke, irrespective to our instructors also the serious attendees, it also creates unnecessary wastes on the energy, especially an over-sized classroom with the light and air-conditioning., plus all the teaching materials, students ID to prepared.
We couldn't find the great tradition of "Ecological Practice" in our past four Hakka Summer Camps that we used to commit for "Reuse, Reduce and Recycle" practice and our Hakka friends were indeed very proud of it.
Other than that, during the hot summer time, we all have fun of learning our mother tongue and Hakka culture.

客語講習會
何吳先生台灣來
客家鄉親心頭開
(2011年海外客語巡迴教學由客家新竹寶山何石松文學博士，以及花蓮玉里吳榮順音樂博士擔任講座，九月三日、四日兩天密集課程，讓一兩百位鄉親對客語有更深一層的理解，對客家山歌的演唱，亦領略一點訣竅，人人歡喜，頗有滿載而歸之感。)

 

老來唱山歌
越唱山歌越思鄉
故鄉在台萬年長

 

山歌客家寶
隨口唱出腔調多
談情勸善樣樣好

 

頭擺客家人
耕田摘茶透日忙
唱條山歌心開陽

 

教授教山歌
阿公阿婆隨口唱
有腔有調喜洋洋

 

客語老古言
一代一代傳下來
漢民寶粹毋係吹

 

寶山何石松
滿腹經綸隨口出
傳揚文化來洛城

 

客家諺語多
一句一句記心頭
祖先經驗全係寶
