Primary Research

I will be giving out a questionnaire to 7 people: my parents, 2 cousins, grandparents (on my mother's side)and Geoffrey (13) all of whom live or have lived in Taiwan for extended periods and know some degree of Taiwanese and Chinese.

Questionnaire-

1. Which did you learn first, Taiwanese or Chinese?
2. Which was easiest to learn?
3. Which do you feel more comfortable speaking? Why?
4. Which do you use the most? Why?
5. Would you assume anything if you heard someone speaking Taiwanese?
6. What about if they were speaking Chinese?
7. Have you ever felt judged or gotten interesting reactions wen you speak Chinese or Taiwanese?
8.On a scale from 1-10 (10 being almost identical) how similar do you think the two languages are?
