- Hi everyone!
It's horrible weather today here in Hong Kong, so instead of going racing tonight at Happy Valley Racecourse, I've done a video focusing on the character/word for 10,000 or maahn (萬), using mahjong and Hong Kong's manic property prices for practice.
I hope you find it useful and if you have any questions or comments, please write them below! I'd also love it if you subscribe to my channel so you get notified of the latest videos!
Happy learning! :)

PPS. Learn more Cantonese with me and open new windows into Cantonese culture by taking my Traditional Characters in Cantonese Pronunciation courses over at www.cantolingo.com.
Learn traditional Standard Written Chinese characters, their Cantonese equivalent (if any), the radicals, proper stroke order, and much more! Classes are on-going and combine online self-study with Zoom sessions. This is a university-level course based on materials from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and is effective and fun!

蘇珊, 你好! 感謝你以前視頻中對我嘅良好祝愿。我非常感謝你嘅慷慨。
I look forward to visiting your hometown Chicago to see my cousin for the very first time after many many years. He is the son of my father's younger sister and very much older than I am. With the help of my sister, who is in Vancouver, we will see each other soon. I have never been to the Windy City, but definitely will enjoy my stay there. Keep those wonderful Cantonese lessons coming. I will recommend them to my non-Chinese speaking Canadian friends.
Have yourself a great morning/afternoon/evening!!! We'll talk again.

Your reply to me is blank. Did you delete it by mistake?
Who's living in Chicago? Remember not to visit any place near south of 31st Street and beyond!!!
Wonderful ! I am native Cantonese speaker and you speak so well ! Almost no accent ! Thank you for appreciating and teaching our language
Nana Meow hi there! Thank you so much for the super nice compliment and you’re welcome, too!! I feel so grateful and thankful to be contributing to promoting Cantonese and to have such support. Thank you again! 😍
your videos are really useful! you are my inspiration!!! i hope to speak cantonese as fluent as yours. keep them coming!!
talented168 Thank you - and you will - and I will!! 🙏💪🙌🎉😁
Hi there! Just wanted to let you know that I received the Let's Talk Cantonese book & tapes. This set is great alone, but even better in tandem with your video instruction! Keep up the great work! Cindy :)
Hi Cindy! I’m so glad you got it and like it! I’m sorry I haven’t done a video in awhile ... we’re moving house and so it’s been crazy busy. I’m hoping after this weekend all will be settled enough and I can do another video ... been missing it!! Happy learning!! :-)
u should teach on cantonese whatever western or chinese
There's lots of beginners videos online, but very few advance video. Can you do advance Cantonese?
Or even intermediate. I'd to learn some more grammar structures. Eg "Jyut6 ___ jyut6 ___" construct.
Teach us how to play Mahjong.
Seb jake - will do!! Give me some time to get it organised ... hoping to convince my mother-in-law to join me since she’s the one who first taught me! 😁
Awesome :)
I have so much trouble with numbers. They don’t register in my brain at all and I grew up with Chinese. I have to keep rewatching these videos.
Sanny Wong You and me both! ☺️ numbers have never been my strong suit and I am so thankful someone came up with the Yale System for writing Cantonese because the Jyut Ping is so much harder for me to wrap my head around. 😅
Awesome! Thanks for the little bit about 'baat' and 'baak' - I think I can hear a small difference but yes, still tricky! I have a slight number phobia so that doesn't help haha. Wow, real estate there is expensive!
I bought a mah jong set a few months back but no one wants to play it with me haha. Looking forward to a mah jong video! Maybe then, I can find some mah jong groups and feel a little more confident to join in! haha
Thanks Sue!
Lexa Axel How did I miss your comment?!? Sorry about that! Too bad you’re not in Hong Kong - I would play with you for sure! 😁🀄️🎉
To avoid mixing up baat (8) and baak (100): Baat has a t at the end, eight has a t at the end.
Hong Kong's living expenses is so high. Where do your family live please? Why do you choose to live in Hong Kong please?
I would love to learn to write cantonese! Are the stroke names the same as in Mandarin? For example 一 is 横 (héng), and 撇 (piě) as in the word for 八. I hope I am making sense. :)
ELF hi!! Sorry your comment slipped by and I’m only now replying. Yes, the strokes are all named and pronounced differently (of course) in Cantonese but you make perfect sense to me! 🙌 😁
