Completely unaware such tools existed. Thanks for the enlightenment!

Thank you!

😅 latin american spanish got rid of the sound "z/c"- Just pronunce "s" always. However you will have to memorize if a word is written with z/c or not. - Arg spanish went further and turned the sound of "ll" (lluvia) into "sh" or "y" (yo) sound, that's from portuguese (Brazil) exposure. I think it is simplier and faster to speak than spanish from Spain. Moreover is common to hear toddlers to speak with the "z" sound always. Later they learn to pronunce the "s" and "rr". So for latin-americans to hear the z sound in spoken spanish is at least weird. Not to mention that only Spain uses the "vosotros" (you), latin american uses "tú" and "vos" (vos changes the entonation and form also)

Cantonese sounds very much like Vietnamese. I m hoping to master both mandarin and Cantonese in the future

Hard 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🤢🤢🤢

The ideograms are the same for both Mandarin and Cantonese in same words?

Fantastic video.

ChatGPT is a decent reference tool, but not a teaching tool. It is not taking charge and leading you through a learning process. Big difference.

I found this online! Please read . "Probably not. Putonghua will replace Cantonese as Hong Kong’s official language (and English will cease to be an official language), but Cantonese will continue to be spoken at home among Cantonese people, just as other provincial dialects are spoken at home on the Mainland."

This is exactly what I needed! Thanks a million

Cantonese definitely gives me the vibe of south East Asian language family (Thai, Khmer, Vietnamese, Lao) Mandarin i feel like Is what westerners would imagine in sound when they think ‘Chinese’ and very distantly sounds minorly similar somehow to Korean in very subtle ways.

what do the numbers mean, for cantonese words

As a british guy, the Chinese community in the UK up until the late 1990s were all hong Kong chinese, and the movies, songs were all Cantonese. You then just assume that this is 'Chinese and so it becomes the normal as to what your perception of chinese culture is.'. I then remember listening to mandarin back in the mid to late 90s for the first time as we suddenly had students from China itself coming to the UK. and thinking to myself, what the hell is this? Is that the main Chinese dialect/language spoken.?!..then suddenly realising Cantonese is this minor regional languange/dialect ...when you thought that was the main chinese language all your life!! (Up until that point )

I love Cantonese ❤

❤❤❤ more of canto vlog please

In the process of applying for NALCAP. What's the difference between Formación académica and Formación permanent? Thank you!

Cantonese is just cool because it's spoken in Canton and HK, for instance. I learned some Mandarin, and thank god it has only 4 tones 😅 I always had this idea of Cantonese and Vietnamese similarities, it has to have something ❤

Well this has to be one of the most useful videos I've come across.

In my opinion, your family background is Mandarin but your pronunciation was spot on!

this makes me so greatful to start learning spanish at the age of 11 it made pronunciation so much easier which is now my strong suit in the language after studying it throughout all of high school

Buen vídeo. Veo que tienes la solución para cada uno de los casos y es solo cuestión de práctica así que ánimo jajaja

Olá Kev! Tudo bem? I'm glad you had a nice time there. I've never visited Porto so I'm jealous! Learning Portuguese from Portugal or Brazil is not very important. I'm sure you will be able to understand both.

For point 4, I absolutely visualize how words are spelled in my head too, which can make it hard to learn how to pronounce words if I don't see them spelled out first.

As an American, tones sound beautifully melodic a lot like singing! it feels like I am singing when I speak these languages out loud

I just started this exercise, this is mad motivational, my dude, BLESS👊🏿

@LingoKev Hey Kev, I really enjoy your videos. This is going to sound strange, but I'm Mexican American. Like you, my native language is English, although I am 3rd generation living here in the United States. My Great Grandparents are from Mexico, and I speak spanish fluently, although not taught by my parents, but at school (High School and College). I find the Mandarin language very interesting and I want to know what would be the best way to learn Mandarin. I know that Mandarin is your second language and your primary language is English. Do both your parents speak Mandarin? I have a pretty good ear for words and pronunciation, but still would need help. I don't I want to learn how to write the Mandarin language (with all those little squiggly lines, and bars, and cross bars etc.) now that my friend would be hard to learn....lol. Any help that you provide would be much appreciated. Thanks Kev ....... Rick

EDIT: Sorry folks! English and Spanish are both part of the Indo-European language family unlike what I mentioned in my video. Clearly don't know my linguistics terms :)

I was surprised by "meme". Not that the Spanish pronunciation doesn't follow the Spanish rule but rather that I have heard many English words that have been newly created carried directly over into other languages. I hear many Spanish speakers use words like OK or You-Tube with an English pronunciation.

Indo-european wants a word with you

Of course I got a Duolingo ad before this

hi Kev thank u for this video, in macau now trying my luck ..

Hablas español?

As a mandarin speaker I found clozemaster useful for learning Cantonese especially it has a jyut ping below it so I could figure out how it sounds and it’s not too hard for me to read the traditional chinese except for some bit like 嘅 or 乜 since it does not usually appear in mandarin chinese but overall it is a fun experience

I like Mandarin it flows better. Just my personal preference.

You really helped me alot! Thanks

Hey. I just stumbled upon your video today - it's really heartening to see people learning Cantonese (especially as resources are not as widely available as Mandarin). As a BBC who speaks Cantonese at home, I had no problem understanding what you said though I could see some hesitation/ time needed to process. I hope you now feel more comfortable communicating in this language.

Well… I speak Cantonese

I've been learning Mandarin for about 6 years and whenever I listen a Cantonese song, I try to recognise some words. It is really informative. I found out that I really understood some words by looking at lyrics. Thank you ❤

I’m learning Spanish now and sometimes I want to give up, but I keep pushing forward 😀

does drops teach language structure?

What is tone sandhi like in Cantonese?

I would say that your cantonese (as a language) is superb in the way that you are thinking in cantonese rather than doing translation in your mind. Your control of your muscles of articulation and voice projection is much better than many cantonese speakers. Of course you can improve your pronunication. You sound much better than many foreign teachers of Cantonese

My frustration with clozemaster is it seems like frequently the jyutping will be wrong

Me: "danish is har-" Irish and welsh: Icelandic: Chinese(both): THWACK

The convention is both a blessing and a curse for someone already fluent in Mandarin and written Chinese. I can understand Cantonese shows just by reading the subtitles, but unfortunately it's going to hamper my ability to match the spoken Cantonese to a concrete written form. Having true Cantonese subtitles will definitely be great for actually forcing oneself to learn Cantonese!

Thanks so much! This will be really useful 😀

The two like different languages

Portuguese IS european, from Portugal. There is brazilian accent, thats all.
