Says Kao: "I don't know. No one takes the lead in speaking Hakka. Maybe everybody would feel strange speaking Hakka in Taipei." The Hakka movement calls upon Hakkas to speak more Hakka in public places, and to use Hakka more often even when discussing things not directly related to home life, but the psychological barriers are formidable.
「不知道，就是沒有人帶頭，大概覺得在台北講客家話很怪吧」，偉棠表示，雖然「在公共場合多講客家話」及「多用客家話談論公共事務」是客家運動者的共識，然而心理上的障礙似乎很難突破。
