So one instance of accidental learning occurred during one of our lesson when we were learning how to apply our Hokkien knowledge on rhyming words by coming up with a rhyming phrase on the spot. As many of us used Hokkien numbers as an inspiration, I had learnt about the different words （量词）that are used to desribe numbers.
Examples:
- sa eh = 三个
- neng ghi = 两只手指
- neng tio = 两张两块钱
- neng liap = 两粒
- jit tiao = 一条
- sa niah = 三件
- gau jiak = 九只
