Your Cantonese pronunciation is much better than those native Mandarin speakers from China. Good job! To learn to such a proficiency level in only four years is astounding!
alama you can not take it for granted that all chinese can speak standard cantonese lah. actually we chinese have tons of totally different dialects so it is not so easy for us to do the correct pronunciation lah specially for those who live in the north part of china. I bet that guy got a talent in learning languages.
I am a native Hong Konger now living in New York City. I can't tell you how happy I am to have found your channel! Thank you so much for creating content that's both fun to watch and invaluable to preserving the Cantonese culture. I'd love to get some tips from Adam on how he learnt Cantonese from scratch, as I am trying to teach my 6 year old daughter, Cleo, the dialect. I've been speaking to her in Cantonese since she's a baby, and I have created a weekly Cantonese class out of our apartment for her and 3 other children (taught by a native Hong Kong teacher who's wonderful) . But given that we don't live in a Cantonese-speaking community, it's proven to be pretty difficult.
Omg he’s Cantonese is even better than me although I grew up in Hong Kong but was born in USA. He’s Cantonese is so fluent srsly only 4 years?! I spent 10 years in hk and is Cantonese is splendid wow amazing
以下內容由Adam回覆: 多謝你嘅留言！ 1、係，我同意世界語言種類會越來越少嘅講法。不過呢個係因為政治，全球化等等嘅原因，而唔係語言本質嘅變化。唔單止係語言，各地嘅文化，傳統，風俗都會慢慢被抹去。講開普通話成為中國唯一語言，我都有少少質疑。即使普通話算得上係官方語言，其他方言應該唔會完全消滅。舉個例，英國嘅官方語言就係英文，但係仲有威爾斯語同埋蘇格蘭蓋爾語可以存在。中國如果比英國更積極去強迫大家使用官方語言嘅話，呢個就變成一個政治嘅事情。 2、語言本身冇優劣之分。你所講嘅就係政治嘅嘢。點解英文會成為世界通用嘅語言呢？只要睇番歷史就知道，全球好多地方都曾經係英國嘅殖民地，就連今日世界最有影響力嘅國家（美國）都係用英文架。唔同時代都有當時嘅通用語言，譬如話以前嘅拉丁語。羅馬帝國衰落之後，拉丁語繼續成為全歐洲嘅學術語言，直到被其他語言（法語，德語，英語）取代。 3、有人講：「A language is a dialect with an army and a navy」又強調返上述嘅政治因素。我個人睇法就係，普通話同廣東話係兩種語言。如果你想定義方言同語言嘅話，一般語言學家通常會認為講唔同語言嘅人會溝通唔到，而講唔同方言嘅人，雖然用嘅字眼唔同，但係應該仲溝通得到嘅。例如英格蘭嘅英文同蘇格蘭英文可以稱為唔同嘅方言，因為操呢兩種方言嘅人會有較高比例可以溝通得到。但係只識廣東話嘅人同只識普通話嘅人就溝通唔到，所以唔係兩個方言。廣東話之所以被認為係一種方言，只係因為普通話被選為官方語言並且被大力推崇，而顯示出被其他中國通用語言地位較高，呢個係政治嘅考量，語言學界並唔認同。
I agree, I feel that Chinese is a mix of compound words. If you know the meaning of each character, it makes learning much easier like in your example of helicopter. Cantonese FTW!
I forgot to ask Adam about his vocabulary and grammar. Can you ask him which books he has used in order to build up his grammar patterns. Also how did he go about checking the differences between spoken and written only vocabulary?
Why when I search your name in search bar, youtube doesn't show with your videos. Is the search function broken or have you been blacklisted or something.
多謝Adam，學到野，diglossia。Adam講，投資精力學漢字係好值得的。書面廣東話都係，學左文化修養會好好多。Adam將意思讀成意試，就好文雅。
呢個英國人真係好犀利呀! 喺香港四年半，啲廣東話已經講得咁好， 超乎想像。 好多外省人嚟咗香港好多年， 都講唔到佢咁好， 真係要畀十個讚佢呀。
如果唔睇樣，齋聽聲音，真係唔會諗到佢係英國人嚟🤔
香港英文講得比佢中文好的人成千上萬，但從來冇人會咁讚法。相反，youtube上有好多片專門挑一個半個小錯大肆攻擊就好多，點解？
CCI ICI 因為英文係易學過中文，特別係廣東話好多。全世界唔係英語母語但英文學得好好嘅人大把，相反廣東話學得好嘅人真係好少見，大陸咁多新移民落嚟幾十年都有明顯口音就知
@@asnoshi on9少一陣啦, 唔該
@@hwceo7313 你知唔知你講緊乜嘢呀大佬 九唔搭八嘅
真係語言天材，4年半已經將一種語言說得流利，重要係廣東話💪
廣東話是種博大精深的語言👍🏻
很幸運是我的母語😁
和學會世界上最難學的一種語言😎
不同的語言是人與人之間的溝通橋🤝樑促進彼此的互動🫂
四年半可以說廣東話說得這麼暢順 , 真是語言天才 !
這個Adam 正统學過很多語言 用這種學習模式最正宗 最全面
我係江蘇人，我哋呢度講吳語，但係我都識講粵語，縱同Adam水平差唔多添！後生果陣係澳洲讀書，成個唐人圈梗係講白話既多過普通話啦！ 而家縱教埋我仔學講白話，所以我仔都識講英文、粵語、吳語、普通話，少少西班牙文。 因為我覺得粵語好重要！我都會一直支持同埋發揚粵語文化精神，無卑北京果d衰人搞到傳統文化都無晒！
吳語都係傳統語言之一 你識兩種好西利🙌🏻
浙江人路過。。吳語的問題是內部分支很多 很難互通 形成合力
说话别总是贬低别人 虽然粤语吴语是古文 但没有普通话这整个国家就没有办法沟通 毕竟你也知道浙江的语言有多博广 过一座桥就不知道说的什么 不统一一种语言就没有办法沟通的 你可以说你学过的语言好 但没必要伤害别人的语言还有别人的文化 尊重是相互的
加油
澳洲少左好多粵語啦 見到D人都講官話
多謝Adam上嚟我Channel接受訪問，
其實Adam一路幫我將字幕翻譯成英文，
令到近期影片多咗外國人觸及同留言，
真係非常之多謝Adam，
要真正將廣東話普及開去，
Adam有絕對嘅功勞!!
如果哩個影片反應好嘅話，
嚟緊我同Adam會有更多合作機會，
玩更多好玩嘅語言遊戲，
談及更多嘅語言課題，
所以請大家反應熱烈啲，
唔好孤寒你嘅讚同分享，
大家一齊激起Adam做影片嘅熱情!!
最近好似有個可以用寫廣東話口語嘅作文比賽，你哋諗唔諗住參加玩下？xd
他是我的老師，士分感激他對我的教導 (在我離開香港之前)，時間經不覺他已經教我一年多，聽完也有點掛念香港!
十分期待殿下同 Adam 能再次合作拍攝影片🤗

好似好少人知🤔
嘩，好勁呀，果然係劍橋嘅高材生！
四年半讲得甘好，一定下了苦功，赞。👍
Adam is my kids’ school NET🫶🏻he is not only friendly but kind hearted, always encourage his students to try their best to speak English🫶🏻
呢個英國人真係專家，學咗四年半已經咁流利廣東話，厲害厲害佩服佩服。
四年半廣東話講成咁!諗下自己英文，慚愧
佢啲廣東話真係好勁，同埋唔睇到最尾都唔知原來佢連日文都識！
終於有人發現到😆堅睇晒喎😏
我呢啲殿下粉絲當然要睇晒佢啦！
我都聽到最後講旻，但係唔肯定
而偏偏當時無字幕=-=
堅喎大家😆
Are you Gemini in zodiac?
Adam真係好勁🤗, 太欣賞佢, 希望佢永遠留係香港, 為香港作出貢獻.
就算自己母語喺廣東話, 都覺得廣東話喺日日有新嘢學。 日日有新鮮，日日有驚喜的語言。
反觀我東莞這邊，有個同學用普通話跟我說：講什麽狗屁粵語……
重點係，佢係本地人
佢正宗仆街仔來㗎喎
我還見過那種很歧視東莞話的東莞人，在他眼裡東莞話非常低等，他認為只有廣州話才是好的
廣州啲學校唔比用廣東話...又細到大都要用普通話...搞到好多廣州新一代唔識廣東話
屌佢老母啦
叫你個同學食屎啦
睇得出Adam好有passion！正！好有兴趣听佢分析各个语言嘅特质
欣賞 Adam 對粤语的 認識。 他是一個不可多得的優秀語言學者。 讚！讚！讚！
Omg!! I finally found the word that describes Cantonese - diglossia!! Thank you.

好勁呀，呢個英國人講得無乜口音，何國榮都有口音
老實講Adam喺香港住咗咁短時間但係講得咁清楚咁流利真係好犀利
Adam you're so talented. You challenge arguably the most difficult language on earth and you did exceptionally well.
諗起Ben sir之前睇過話我哋學晒其他語言，就會發現廣東話嘅可貴
佢都好勁就算六個聲調其實都唔易+有啲聲調好似
殿下都係睇咗bensir哩句而深感認同！！
越南语也同样是八声六调。

誇張,4年半可以去到幾乎冇口音我真係第一次見,連住咗香港幾十年嘅河國榮同布偉傑都冇咁正宗,連用詞池都咁深,"抑揚"連大部份地道香港人都要停一停諗一諗先識得用,真心佩服。
Adam, your cantonese is superb !
English subtitles are also available thanks to Adam!
If you know any friends who are interested in Cantonese, please share this video with them😉
(⊙o⊙)哇！犀利！有語言學背景的外國人，仲要繼續合作，期待~😍
Adam好犀利好叻 以四年時間可以講到咁流利咁標準 真係好勁 不愧係頂級學府劍橋大學語言學家👍👍👍
首先多謝殿下及Adam製作了這集影片。我來了香港三年半，不認真、沒有教材、沒有課堂的學習直至今日，只有了語言程度第二級的能力，覺得足夠應付生活所需就好。
剛剛發現了這個頻道、這一集，精準指出當初學習廣東話的難處，激發了我想克服的決心，希望十年後邁向第五級！（給自己很寬容）
謝謝你們！
加油喔!! 妳一定可以的!!💪💪💪
Adam 是ㄧ個真正的語言天才學者 !
ADAM好勁👍👍👍👍👍👍
好想睇多啲Adam，而且從佢角度又正確咁學到啲嘢，街度冇人講你又唔知嘅嘢，原來漢字識咗後，好多名詞一睇就明，好快，而英文生字要開頭要死記硬背，當然之後識咗好多字一樣有字根，字源會估到其字意。
香港口語字係後期再演變，例如：㗎~喺~嗰~啲，呢啲口字部首的口語字都只係香港獨有文字
支持殿下，支持廣東話，多謝晒你哋，好多謝
“局住”都識講😂😍
跪低🙇🏻♀️
7:23 香港人同英國人一齊傾緊廣東話時中間唔係加插英文而係會彈啲日文出嚟，犀利
Dman，四年咁標準，犀利
5:46 這是真的。我記得之前看過一對英國夫婦說，他們覺得台語很有趣，講起來就像在唱歌一樣。（就是因為台語也多聲調～）
發音好正。
關於"雙面語言"分析，以前文字刻石、骨、🐢甲，到以後皮、紙，書寫載體成分高且唔易，所以要惜字如金，口語同書面用語唔同估計喺咁分化而出...加油，十萬八萬個漢字等緊你哋學習
期待殿下同ADAM 更多既合作, 我可以大膽咁奇想嗎..? ADAM同殿下甚至會唔會出影片 同大家分享下 希臘文 英文 同廣東話 係學習上有冇咩有趣甚至相似既地方呢, THANKS`
9聲6調真係好難呀~ 但ADAM 講得好好~~ 好準~! 仲要識咁多語言~ 連日文都識!! 超讚!!!
遲啲一齊玩😆
@@hongkongintheworld hahahah、好呀!
嘩 好利害
Adam, 你好勁呀👍🫶
太有帮助了！
天才！
喺日本人頻道見Adam啲廣東話咁勁，原來係學語言學，呢段片五年前，同頭先睇嗰段片，睇得出聽得出佢同化咗好多😂
希望多出几集和英国小哥的合作视频！比如他的语言学习方法之类啦
一個字，勁
雖然幾年前，睇返仍然很有趣
第一次睇，不得不俾100個讚你。多謝你的廣東話，感動在心中。
Adam 你表達得好好！直升機嚟個例子👍👍👍👍👍👍
Omg he’s Cantonese is even better than me although I grew up in Hong Kong but was born in USA. He’s Cantonese is so fluent srsly only 4 years?! I spent 10 years in hk and is Cantonese is splendid wow amazing
歡迎Adam。😊😊😊😊😊😊
勁，咁多咁detail嘅嘢都講得出
比D意見如何令廣東話再流行，可以學習曾是冷門語言之一嘅韓文
“文化輸出” 好重要
而 “高質量文化” 更加重要
就係音樂、電影、連續劇、網絡視頻...等等娛樂性極高嘅創意作品
聚集香港創意人，一齊加油吧！
（韓語文化產業有政府支持；香港嘅...要靠廣大市民自己度橋了，如果溫到有錢企業家出手當然就更迅速有力了）
補充，所有作品配上多國語言
Amazing！Adam knows Cantonese language more than us. Appreciate Adam gave us the inspiration.
殿下多些同外國人加多個日本妹子一齊街訪更有趣及同來港遊客或街方訪問一定多收視
he's a linguistics major, not an active linguist lmao
still respectable tho, just was expecting some more in-depth detail
其實講廣東話時候中間加插書面語也不致於會比人笑嘎，至少比人覺得唔會聽唔明咁囉，我都好鍾意平時講野帶書面語傢
而且每套古裝港劇都一定會係咁，反而令我覺得有點違和感，不過個中需要我係知到嘎
請教專家Adam幾個問題：
1、世界各地語言將來發展嘅趨勢係唔係種類會越來越少？好多中國人都認為語言發展就係趨向統一，中國人認為全世界都係如此，所以廣東話被消滅，普通話成為中國唯一語言係歷史發展嘅必然結果。
2、不同語言之間，有冇高低優劣之分？宜家世界通用語言係英語，係咪說明英語係比較優秀嘅語言，而其他較少人用甚至消失嘅語言，就比較差呢？造成呢種強弱差別原因係咩呢？好多中國人會認為，越多人用嘅語言就越優秀。
3、如何定義語言定係方言呢？中國人會認為廣東話係普通話嘅方言，但係香港人同廣東人都認為廣東話係語言，並非方言，呢個分歧喺中國爭吵非常激烈，甚至會政治化，上升到國家統一分裂嘅政治高度。
以下內容由Adam回覆:
多謝你嘅留言！
1、係，我同意世界語言種類會越來越少嘅講法。不過呢個係因為政治，全球化等等嘅原因，而唔係語言本質嘅變化。唔單止係語言，各地嘅文化，傳統，風俗都會慢慢被抹去。講開普通話成為中國唯一語言，我都有少少質疑。即使普通話算得上係官方語言，其他方言應該唔會完全消滅。舉個例，英國嘅官方語言就係英文，但係仲有威爾斯語同埋蘇格蘭蓋爾語可以存在。中國如果比英國更積極去強迫大家使用官方語言嘅話，呢個就變成一個政治嘅事情。

Adam.嘅廣東話唔錯,
我唔會學習其他語言，因為廣東話係我最想學嘅語言，而已我已經學懂了，因為我係香港人 !
唔學其他唔緊要 最緊要唔好覺得粵語係勁過曬其他語言 每種語言都係平等

listening to music constantly definitely can help your SQL, especially language with various pitches and tones!
Thanks Adam, you are super👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
殿下成日係旁邊偷笑
被發現了😂😂
四年半咁嘅level，好勁！👍👍
好想再深入d了解Adam對廣東話的探討😳條片太短啦
Adam 不僅音準而且用字文雅，香港年青人宜多多向他學習。
大家都用多啲粵文，會幫到好多粵語學習者～
你的视频教学广东话很好👍👍👍谢谢您

Adam’s Cantonese is magnificent!
真係好勁
感謝分享🙏🏻
希望兩位可以介紹，點樣幫到南亞裔朋友容易學到廣東話，等佢哋融入香港社會，容易找到工作，改善生活。多謝🙏🏻
真係好勁🤩
Hello Adam. Respect. Even Hongkonger don’t have a formal training on Cantonese

殿下同Adam好襯❤️
His Cantonese is almost perfect!
僕も精通したい。。。これからもここに住み続けるから。
Adam 有無自己既channel?
咁短時間講到呢種程度，厲害！
Can you provide us with links as to how we can reach adam?
覺得很多廣東話口語，其實係本身的正確發音，很多鄉音其實保留好多濁塞音:
例如:
是= 係, 鄉音講hee，hee同是其實很近似
怎=點，怎樣，怎解，怎可以，廣東話是:點樣，點解，點可以
邊處=別處
點=啲
之=嘅 / kee
咗=過
給=俾
ADAM 既廣東話比好多大陸落黎多年既大陸人更好
好勁呀
👍👍👍
我合對眼聽Adam 講廣東話，真係聽唔出係由英國人講出嚟，近乎無洋人口音，真係西利!
