There a lots of Teochew nursery rhymes and Teochew Store, an online store, based in Singapore, has been promoting our language and culture through various media and one of them is Teochew nursery rhymes. Most of the nursery rhymes or at least those I have heard are all sung in Swatow Uê.

I still remember my father teaching me Teochew nursery rhymes.

Learning nursery rhyme is a good way to learn Teochew. Here is a nursery rhyme and the title of this nursery rhyme is 雨落落 hou6 loh8 loh8. Click on the link to hear the nursery rhyme and the subtitles are really bad and it is written in broken Teochew! I have used the correct Teochew characters below.
