    Hmong kids nowadays, barely know their own culture, because of going to school they adapted to being modern and not old school.

    Awesome to see that our hmong people are being discovered. It hurts to see that others only see us hmong as "chinese" asians, yet there are so many more asian cultures .

    I'm learning Hmong because I am Hmong and thanks so much on complementing our culture and the way we speak. It's hard and unique in a way!

    You're right!
    Another example is the tone "Paw": Pog pom Pov pov pob = Grandma saw Paul toss ball.

    That's so funny! 'To meet' and 'to kill' are pretty close in Finnish in some conjugations; if you say "may we come to meet you" (tapaamaan) it sounds pretty much like "may we come to kill you" (tappamaan) if you don't pronounce the distinction between single and double consonants correctly. the difference is in length but it's very hard to tell for foreign speakers.
