These videos are great for their documentary value as well - capturing the candid thoughts of people from different generations and walks of life. It's so interesting how Cantonese people above a certain age are so subdued in answering a question like "what makes you happy?" I recognize that attitude from my own Overseas Chinese family; I thought it was because of the personal sacrifices they made as immigrants, but now I think it must be cultural.
Great that you’ve added jyutping! Otherwise I would be completely lost...honestly, even after several years, I don’t find this easy at all to understand.
this is super useful! i’m trying to learn Cantonese and though i can only understand certain phrases, this helps me to hear the language more and get used to it :)
I was born and raised in Macau, I went to Canada when I was 15. 20 years later when I came back to Macau, Some Macau people said I sounded like a Malaysian Chinese or HongKonger. :)
what makes me happy is probably nature, i love to explore nature places like jungle, hiking, and exploring some places like waterfall and some adventurous places like caves because it is very intriguing and mysterious i am happy when i got frens who really care, not for themselves but a concern of you. i also happy when i got a new stuff like a new phone or shoe because i love to stick with phone and l like walking i like to travel but mostly to nature places and something very rare like in Laos and Brazil i also love to help poor people especially homeless, i am happy when i can make them feel at ease
Fantastic program ☺️! You guys just being so amazing and talented! 💞 I'm impressed by the quality of work from you guys/ gals as students. I teach my son to speak native Cantonese and write traditional Chinese in the UK as a 2nd language. Thank you for your good work and meaningful program! Lots of love, ESL English teacher
How is this easy cantonese? She speaks even faster than most of the podcasts I heard to get my ears adjusted to the sound of the language while learning my first few phrases. Now I wanted to move on to comprehensible input, but even with jyutping I cannot follow what she is saying. I had an easier time transcribing some random lines from the podcasts I was listening to. Maybe its easy in terms of vocabulary, but if you want to make content for beginners maybe slow down a little bit and make sure to pronounce stuff more clearly.
This is good and very helpful, but not exactly for beginners or really "easy" unless you are already pretty fluent. Fortunately, we are able to slow down the playback speed.The concept is great, though.
Are people in this area typically bilingual in Cantonese and mandarin or typically know Cantonese? Curious about mandarin prevalence in this area as Chinese is technically a language group so these people speak Chinese, just the Cantonese variety and not mandarin.
In Hong Kong, Macau and Canton, most local people aged 30 or above speak Mandarin with a VERY strong Cantonese accent. Mainland Chinese people can hardly understand us so you'd better speak Cantonese (if you can) in this area. Since Hong Kong was under British colonial rule before 1997, most Hongkongers aged under 40 speak fairly well English (IELTS Band 6 on average)
if you wanna learn cantonese,Sam Hui's songs are your best choice to learn spoken Cantonese and Beyond's songs are you best choice to learn written Cantonese.i love Cantonese,it brought me laughtre and it made me love music. love you first for Sam Hui許冠傑先生😘😘
Because it's very hard of non speaker to recognize the words easily. I think you have to hear a lot in order to distinguish them. I'm native cantonese speaker and I can tell you that's not easy cantonese you're hearing. For the simple reason a beginner will not be able to dissect words one by one. I don't speak much mandarin and I know maybe 20% of the word in mandarin. When I hear mandarin in the movies without watching the subtitle, I can't understand. That's because I'm not able to break down the phrase. words just get lost, like 70%... The brain is like: I don't know that word then ignore, must be noise... If you want to learn most of asian language you have to understand every word. Because a meaning is compose by meaning words. In latin language if you understand a few words you can understand most of the phrases. I find it's not so in chinese. take example 0:43 where she says 我(的)小朋友 they omitted the 的 because people speak fast, which means her children. If you didn't hear the first word then you miss the word me meaning "her". afterward if you miss the second one which means small. You will heard "her friends" which is a whole meaning what she wants to say.... Miss the third one, then you'll be lost. Try cantonese for beginner where you can differentiate words easily. I still have hard time to differentiate madarin. words sound all the same...
@@lungchan1729 She just speaks fast, I'm learning cantonese with 100% mandarin comprehension and even I can't understand keep up with her speed at 0.75
Do the research about Cantonese language and then leave comments. Cantonese has 6 tones and all of them are pronounced differently but most of them sound the same to foreigners.
It's probably good, actually, since many people speak like that. Since there are subtitles we can still understand but learn to understand that way. :)
It's ok, but it's not Hong Kong Cantonese I think that's the difference. To my ear, there is a slight accent in the way she says certain words. In the video above, the interviewed lady who says she likes to read books at the library has worse pronunciation, though.
you guys are doing an incredible job for promoting Cantonese and Macau culture. really love this. hope you'll keep doing more videos
As a Mandarin student and a Mandarin lover, I can say that Cantonese sounds really cool! I liked it!
its very hard similiar to vietnamese when it comes to their tones. mandarin is easier with 4 tones, they both have atleast 6-9
This is great stuff! Finally a good resource for advanced Cantonese!

What makes you happy? These video series makes me happy! 多謝嗮!
Great that you’ve added jyutping! Otherwise I would be completely lost...honestly, even after several years, I don’t find this easy at all to understand.
I am a native Cantonese speaker but I'm an ABC so this helps me improve my Cantonese even more, I understand like 80-90% of it
Please, please make more!! I would totally pay for this.
this is super useful! i’m trying to learn Cantonese and though i can only understand certain phrases, this helps me to hear the language more and get used to it :)
Thanks for helping me brush up on my grammar and vocabulary. New words: saugong, daagei, new use of jamgung.
The girl at 2:20 said her grandpa makes her happy. I almost got choked up 😥
睇一齣新嘅 Easy Cantonese! 片段令到我開心囉！唔該，好快再見啦！
its so cute. the people in the videos happiness is so different from what i thought it would ve. over here (canada) its so materialistic
Well In Hong Kong, we tend to be a lot more emotional lol.
4:08 she's my spirit animal
Lmao
Oh I love that you’ve put the jyutping!!! Where can I find more? This is SO awesome!!!!
Beautiful people all smiling!
Having the jyutping helps alot! nice work!

Great video. Please make some more!
Thanks for the accurate subtitles. :)
Thankyou so much. Great help with sub text with cantonese rominization text. Super appreciate it

great video of cantonese coversation, i wish you also do about the inside the groceries like sun miu or royal super market
It’s easier for me to understand people in HK, they usually speak a bit slower and clearer when they see an almost fluent foreigner.

No she is just speaking to fast
Great! Well done!
1:40-2:00 台山口音！
very good
Macau cantonese sounds slightly different than HK cantonese.
Can someone explain for me.. what the different between Mandarin and Cantonese .. the booth looks like the same....
well, they both definitely don't sound the same...
3:57 梗係好味啦！
Sound Like Thai (I'm Thai)
其實我想香港版是要等有心的香港人到easy language的官網申請開channel
jau di mei lingdou neidei hoi saan gaa?
make more
either the numbers are letters and they don't realised it is numbers, or it should indicate an accent above the letter
They're tones.
Adventurenauts I don't hear them pronouncing them.
Do the research about Cantonese language and then leave comments. Cantonese has 6 tones and all of them are pronounced differently but most of them sound the same to foreigners.
Mr Pepe Graceffa Wait I think here is kind of a language barriere; you do not mean a 'sound'/'noise' with 'tone'?
There's no language barrier :) Both Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese have TONES. A letter/character can have a sound not a whole word.
1:50 "I do not have any hobbies. I work everyday, so I do not have any hobbies". This is sad.
Wow Cantonese ftw xD
I don't know why, but I better understand cantonese than mandarin.
slow down
4:03 Why couldn't he answer himself?
Great video by the way
She was womansplaining him
why do there are those numbers in cantonese pinyin?
it represents how to speak it, if I'm not mistaken there are 6 ways to say a syllable
It's the pitch
+Asadgunz wow that's so interesting!
it's the tones, it's like writing "ni3 hui4 shuo1 guang3 dong1 hua4 ma" for mandarin instead of "nǐ huì shuō guǎng dōng huà ma"
Tones mate. All tones. There are 6 tones in cantonese. There used to be 9 in the good old days but they brushed 3 to help the gwai lou's!
她:打咩機呀，?
小朋友:打飛機
from Hong Kong?
唔係，其實我都唔係中國人
😂
I can understand it clearly but can´t pick the right words when speaking lol need to speak it more often again.
You speak very fast. I can’t catch up the sub. I am beginner 😂
I like Cantonese but they speak too fast!
I thought it was super fast too!
Nah,you are just not used to it
really? sounds so slow hahah
Good video but the pronunciation is sometimes vague.
especially for「你」and「書」.
Wow, those kids must be geniuses! It's crazy seeing young kids speaking perfect chinese because it's so difficult to learn. That is impressive!
No shit? Thats like you saying white people can speak good english and they live in USA?
Kids in Macau these days speak Mandarin…or English only. So fking sad😢
Her cantonese is not clear enough
Agreed with u
It's probably good, actually, since many people speak like that. Since there are subtitles we can still understand but learn to understand that way. :)

then where do you think she belongs to
澳門口音
The last women was booooooosted
這位主問妹妹的廣東話也不是純正，有鄉音。
但唔同德文，廣東話無話規定邊個係標準
點解訪問個個口音有d怪
睇嚟澳門人平時喺澳門都幾無聊
個個淨係識睇書
You guys talk too fast!
听不懂。。
什么人能说粤语就能说普通话！ :）
閉嘴啊！
I don't think she can teach cantonese because her cantonese is not accurate with a very heavy accent
slow down
