That explanation of tones was absolutely amazing!! I wasn’t able to make sense of any of the tones until now! I studied at Hong Kong Polytechnic University for 4 months and I was so discouraged by the way people taught the tones. Explaining it with relation to English sounds contextualizes everything really well. Amazing thank youuuuu
Same here. It's still difficult to pronounce such similar sounding tones and remembering them, ..but this video is the best thing around for learning them. Thanks, Ms Ng!
I come from Vietnam and think Cantonese tones are easy to me because my language already has 6 tones. But when I decided to learn Cantonese, it confused me with tons of teaching videos until I found this one. Thank you so much!
OH MY GOD I just want to say THANK YOU! You made it SOOOO easy to understand! I could not pronounce a single word for the life of me, but now I actually think I have a chance! I see online that 4 is lower than 6, then how come when you taught "Canada" you made it seem like 6 is lower? Edit: just said some words to my Cantonese friend (Enping) and she understood all of them!!! Before this I couldn't get her to understand a single word. I'd say "hai" 500 times until she'd say "that one was similar enough" but now I said it once and she understood right away! Same with many more words!
Oh my gosh! You made learning Cantonese tones easier! thank you!! They say Cantonese is hard because it's got friggin 6 tones, and it initially deterred me from learning. Now, I've got the confidence to learn more! Stay safe and healthy during this pandemic. I have relatives in HK too.
Tones is the kinda easy part for me, now learning all the words is the hard part 😭 I'm already studying Mandarin so I can't just go back and start to study all the words again
14:35 explaining it in terms of relativity helped a lot. I would always stress if I was using "3" or "6", but in that context it doesnt really matter as long as its somewhat lower than 1.
Damn I just killed my mandarin throat trying to say the tones, but your Cantonese teaching is awesome! I downloaded Cantonese learning apps to help with my career but they just put some tones there without even explaining what the tones were so I came to your channel. Helped me a lot. Throughout the video I was saying: This Lady is awesome!
The best explanation ever! Thank you so much! I have been trying to learn cantonese for 3 years. I have watched loads of video explanations of tones. I regret I didn't find your video earlier. You are a great teacher!
Omg! You're awesome Yoyo!!!! I've watched several videos to learn Cantonese tones on TH-cam and got more and more confused. This video is definitely clear and helpful!!! Hope can see more videos soon!!!
Thank you for this! I was having such a hard time hearing a difference between the tones but now I've got! I love how you compare them to words in English, it made it click!
Thank you so much. This is the best description of tones I've come across. Other teachers make it way too complicated and unforgiving, which is not the reality of speaking it. 🙏
I'm half chinese and my grandparents have never heard me speak Cantonese ever and i'm studying to have dinner one time and pull out cantonese. I JUST realised what bin dou means even though it's something that comes into a sentence often and i've heard it so many times.
I’ve just started learning Cantonese so I’ve been watching a lot of videos explaining the tones.. this is the best so far, very good explanation. Thank you!
You and your lesson is amazing and easy to understand. May god bless you and your family with prosperity. Thank you! I’m learning cantonese cuz feeling embarrassing and left behind cuz not be able to understand or speak cantonese in my workplace. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’ve been trying to start Cantonese for the past several months and this just helped me figure out the tones in a way I could much more easily understand than ever before! m goi saai!!!
As a few of the comments indicate, and I agree fervently, Ms Ng's pronunciation of Cantonese is not up to the standard of teaching others. I suggest checking out "Cantonese Corner", created by an American who's lived in HK for 30+ years. Her pronunciation is much cleaner even though she's American. th-cam.com/users/CantoneseCornerfeatured
Trying Mandarin first with tye hope of getting to Cantonese because I love the way that Cantonese sounds! These explanations are very human! I enjoyed them and will be back!
As a vietnamese I thought the tones would directly correlate with vietnamese tones seeing as sometimes when I hear cantonese people talk it almost sounds like they're speaking vietnamese. But not quite there's a bit of a difference
Now I understand the Cantonese accent a bit better. "Listen" to me is a 1 + 3. Tone 6 sounds too low for the second syllable. But I think most Cantonese people do make it too low.
That's so useful! I'm wondering though if tones can be modified according to mood. For example if I'm moody and don't want to go can i express this by using a more flat tone instead of a raising one? In English it's possible. For example in the word Listen (Li-stressed sten-unstressed) both syllables can become rising or stressed depending on the intonation you give it.

dang 4 months??? you spent that much money and didnt learn tones after the 1st month??
me too. i spent a lot of money learning from so-called experts who had no idea us gweilos have learning Cantonese.
Completely agree. The comparison to “listen” was 💥!!
I went from feeling like Cantonese was going to be hard to being like, "Ohhh, I got this!" Give thanks for this video!
How is your cantonese going? I'm just beginning now 👌🏻

I'm confused to as to which is lower between 4 and 6, but it seems that it doesn't matter, the thing I found is that 4 drops in pitch, while 6 is flat
嘩 ！好嘢！！。 解釋得非常清楚、透撤⋯
我係地道粵語母語 ，成世講粵語 ，原來聲調有高、低級別。
怪不得好難教外國人 學粵語。
That was absolutely the best explanation of tones! Amazing teaching skills, making life easier for the student.

Where has this video been all my life?! I was thinking it would be impossible to learn Cantonese, but this is an amazing start.

多謝美女老師雅教！愚生學漢語已久，以北方官話為主，雖然一直想學廣東話，總覺得粵語聲調太難掌握了，聽您講課突然感覺終於明白了，千謝萬恩啊！

不一直去弄頭髮，這影片就非常好了。
I’m Cantonese-Canadian, and even I find this slightly too confusing!
