Like any Chinese dialect, the pronunciation is the most important part, so you can't learn it from a book. You need a living, breathing, talking speaker of the language, which is easier than you might think to find, on account of the immense Fuzhou/Fuqing diaspora around the world. Good luck. @JL

I know some basic Chinese, can you teach me some basic phrases in Fuqing dialect pronunciation ? or is there a book or resource for foreigner to learn this dialect ? Thank you, JL Hello,

I was your student in 2003. I was from class 02 Tourism English, Fuqing Branch, Fujian Normal University. I'm working in Zhejiang now. I work for a international trading company. Some of my customers are from US, say Chicago, Panora, Iowa. There're so many laowai here, and quite a lot of them speak very fluent Chinese, but very few guys can read and write Chinese. So you're very great, cause you can read Chinese. Hope everything is going on well. Good Luck. Hi Ben,
