Do you think it is necessary to teach children to speak dialects? Why or why not?

 Nowadays, the young generation speaks Putonghua and most of them can’t speak their dialect or local language. Do you think it is necessary to teach children to speak dialects? Why or why not?

According to the linguistic professionals' oppinions, the best time for one to learn a language is before the age of ten. During the "best time," one can learn one or three languages, and even more, at the same time. And, I appreciate that there are different kinds of local culture developed. So, I consider it deserved for children to learn the dialects.

It was a pity that the dialects were banned in Taiwan in the past, which not only made people miss the opportunity to learn languages but also prevented the plural culture.
