Some children like Chao Chiao, a third-grade student at Chungshan elementary school in Taoyuan, have no problems simultaneously learning several "mother tongues." As well as studying Taiwanese she has also chosen to take classes in Hakka, even though neither of her parents speak it. Chao loves reciting folk rhymes and singing and from time to time uses a few words of Hakka to test her mother.
有些孩子並不排斥同時學好幾種「母語」，就讀桃園中山國小三年級的趙喬，學台語外，還自願選修客家語，雖然爸爸、媽媽都不會說客家話，但趙喬覺得念念童謠、唱唱歌很好玩，偶而還會說幾句客家話考考媽媽。
