July 5, 2010 at 5:49 AMmy parents spoke shanghainese all the time. my mom was from Wuxi but the dialect very similar to shanghainese. somehow i just learned english however i understand everyday spoken shanghainese even after being away from the dialect for so long now. there is a kindred spirit among shanghainese folks, sort of what NY'ers share as well.

July 3, 2010 at 1:49 AMI'm sad that the Shanghai lessons are ending! Thanks for the introduction, though. Listening to Shanghainese for me is going back to my childhood in New York City where I grew up with my Shanghainese parents - but I was a terrible student of the dialect, reason being my 保姆 spoke Yiddish and English to me. I'm a shanghainese/jewish/chinese american!

April 18, 2010 at 3:39 PMGladly welcome the shanghainese lessons! Reason being my family is Shanghainese. I heard it spoken growing up but never learned to speak, instead learned English as my 母语. However I can understand basic shanghainese dialogue.
