I am Amanda from Hong Kong. I make easy and practical cantonese learning videos for complete beginners to intermediate level.
My full time job is a flight attendant. I enjoy studying foreign languages. My job allows me to visit many places and meet many people. So that I have more chances to practice what I have learned.
Due to the covid, I haven't fly regularly for over a year. I find TH-cam is extremely helpful for maintaining my language proficiency. One day, out of curiosity, I looked for cantonese learning channels. I was so surprised that there are so little and most of the good one are even from overseas. That's why I started "5 minute cantonese" on 2020.
I am from Canada. I watched lesson 1 and 2. They are amazingly simple. Thanks to the great teacher. 5 minutes a day is perfect for me. My dream is to be able to order food in Chinese restaurants and eventually (in a few years 🙂) watch Hong Kong movies, especially old Bruce Lee movies, all in Cantonese.
You can definitely do it!
Welcome to 5 minute Cantonese!
great teacher!! I am in HK learning Cantonese and by far you are the best teacher I found on the internet. Many thanks
Thank you very much for your comment. Hope you enjoy learning.
Agreed, it's like going to a language academy 🥺
@@adrianal1932 thank you, I am glad that you like it
Agreed 👍
Yeah! You're right!
Hi Amanda, I'm in the UK and work with some Cantonese people who I have made friends with and they are teaching me to speak Cantonese I have been practicing now for about 2 months plus watching, repeating and practicing your videos is helping a great deal. My friends have also said that your videos are the best out there of all that i have seen. Keep up the good work as I really like learning from your videos.
Thank you very much for your comment 😀 I am always glad to hear that ppl learn Cantonese.
G'day Amanda, I'm Australian. I just started learning Cantonese today since I work with Cantonese and Mandarin speakers.
Welcome to 5 minute Cantonese! 👍🏻 Enjoy learning!
Thank you! You make it so easy to learn Cantonese!

你教導嘅方式非常好。你解釋每句話同句子嘅順序。噉樣學生好明白中國人（廣東人）嘅諗法。加油
Great videos! I grew up speaking Canto and now I'm trying to teach our son. It's great to see the written characters, sentence structure and grammar as well as the tones ,which is helping my pronunciation. Cheers!
Thank you very much for your comment 😁
I Love your videos! I was born and raised in Hong Kong, but did not learn cantonese so I always felt wrong to say I am from Hong Kong, I am so happy to be learning the language of my home!!
Great! I am sure you will improve very quickly as you are surrounded by the Cantonese speaking environment.
I know this is just the beginin but, this is the most entertaining lenguage Ive ever seen!!!
Thank you very much 😊

Wow this is probably the only clear cantonese translation found on the internet for the 20 + years the internet has been in existence. Its clear nobody wants to teach anyone cantonese.

welcome to 5 minute Cantonese
Hi Amanda. I am a heritage speaker in the US and your videos are so helpful. I’m able to correct certain things I have mispronounced etc by watching your videos. I’m also trying to teach Cantonese to my young child, who is mixed heritage. Would you be able to do a video that talk about how to introduce oneself as mixed ethnicities or something on that topic? Thank you so much. Add oil!
Nice! 😉 Let me think about it🤔
Thanks for watching.
Stay tuned 😉
I really enjoy your lesson, now im still in lesson 2 but looking forward to watch all your lesson
Take your time. Step by step, eventually you'll be able to do it!💪🏻

@@5minutecantonese 哈哈哈 我懂啦！I can't speak well yet, but the concept is there haha I'm still a Canton seedling with a dictionary 😅 我要學習廣東話因為我有來自香港好友。I teach Yiddish and Bulgarian, so it's a good mixture lol I'll continue with your videos today! I want to sound smooth and stylish speaking Cantonese 😝😎
Wow.... I am sure you can do it💪🏻. You can also practice with your friends. 😄 That's great 👍🏻

Amanda, you are the best please keep going, your lessons are soooooo useful and you are way better than some professional teachers so don't put yourself down, you should not even mention that you are not... I just moved to HK for work, I am Italian and you are my first step from "it's probably impossible to learn Cantonese" to "maybe I can do it". ngo5 hai3 Giorgio. ngo5 bin1 dou6 lai4 yi1 daai3 lei6 :)
Thank you very much for your comment. I hope my video helps. When you are absolutely beginner. When you see my latest video. You might find them a bit hard. But when you follow all the lessons step by step, I am sure you will be able to understand. Don't give up! You can do it. 💪🏻
@@5minutecantonese That's the beauty of your channel: if you follow it lesson by lesson you learn gradually. I have just started with the first few lessons, but the most important thing is that you gave me the right motivation!! Thanks a lot!! I'll be always grateful!!
amazing videos amanda !! thank you so much. im living in Kowloon bay . ngo5 hai6 OR , from ISRAEL and LOVE HONG KONG !!!
Nei5 hao1, welcome to Hong Kong. I am glad that you enjoy learning Cantonese.

Gracias por tus vídeos, eres una excelente maestra. Hace tiempo intenté aprender cantonés pero no me fue muy bien, y ahora encuentro tu canal y al parecer mi motivación ha vuelto. 😍
Muchas gracias, estoy feliz de que te gusten mis videos.😊
Very nice teaching
Thank you
wonderful teacher!
Thank you
Please switch on the subtitle for some amendment with "JYUTPING". Thank you very much for watching!
Why such a good channel like this didn't come to my recommendation sooner
我自己学广东🌸几月了没有进步
谢谢你的视频，我一定学好儿
Thank you for your support. I hope my video could help.
I'm from Bangladesh,I want to learn Cantonese language ❤
Welcome to 5 minute Cantonese 😀
I like learning languages, besides English as my 2nd language, I learned a bit of French, German, Thai Mandarin, and currently actively learning Japanese. I must say your method is really good and you are an excellent teacher. Two lessons and I remember everything, more than what I picked up after half a dozens trips to HK. I was going to do Korean next, but thinking I might do Cantonese now, even though I may not have much use for it, the few Cantonese dramas I've seen are horrible, they suck big time haha.
Thank you very much for your comment. If you know some Asian languages, Cantonese will be relatively easier for you. I am glad that my videos help. 😊
what is Thai mandarin lol?
@@lindawong5832 Sorry, I missed a comma. Thai, Mandarin Chinese. BTW, The Chinese in Bangkok mostly speak Cantonese and Teochew.
this is very helpful I wanted to learn because my family speaks cantonese but they don't really teach me so this is very helpful!
Thank you very much for your comment. I am glad that my videos help.
Same here, my parents mainly just talk English to me and my siblings as they don’t understand as much as me so I don’t get much practise.
💪🏻 Enjoy learning. Hope my videos help.
really sad to hear that parents don't even teach their kids part of their cultrue
2:36 ngo5 bin1 dou6 lai4
is that "Where am I from?" or "I am from -"
which translates to I where come. I'm making flash cards and plan on following this series. TY
you can say
ngo5 _______ (name of country or town) lai4
I come from.....
ngo5 __________ (name of the country) jan4
I am (nationality)
Hello！我係Cassandra！我邊度嚟美國。我係美國人。
(I used a translator to speak into a microphone while it writes, and I can't believe I got the tones right!!!!)
@@cassandra2968 Hello Cassandra! Great start! it's perfect!
Just help you adjust a bit!
我邊度嚟? (Where do I come from?)
美國 （USA）
If you wanna say I come from USA.
我嚟自美國。
Hope it helps.
it's impressive that you got all the tone right!

Thanks amanda!
You are welcome
Thank you for teaching me teacher
I'm from Myanmar I want to know cantonese I can i learn I don't know
Now i can see your video. 😍
Hi! Welcome to my channel. Thanks for subscribing
Nice!
At first when trying to guess how to say "Where are you from" my guess was Lei hai bin dou lai" because in earlier lessons you explained that 'Hai' is the word for being (is/are/am) so I'm curious as to why 'hai' is missed out and "Where are you from" really just becomes "You where come" lol - maybe I'll learn it later!
More long videos for basic cantonese pls

非常感谢你！我会说一点普通话，但我很想学习广东话。刚才找到你的短片，几分钟的学习我已经学到那么多！你好厉害！你的教导方式很特别！我邊度嚟牙買加, 我係牙買加人。 这个对吗？
多謝！
我邊度嚟？
牙買加
我係牙買加人。
@@5minutecantonese Thanks! But what if I wanted to answer in a complete sentence: "I'm from Jamaica," how would I say that? Or is it not said like that?
我牙買加嚟😊
Well explained. I think i can learn fast
Great 👍🏻
Great
Thank you 😊

@@5minutecantonese its very helpful for me as a new hongkong resident
Thanks
You are welcome
Hi, this is amazing so thank you for uploading these. I have a question.
Does Ngo hai pingo mean, who am I? I know you didn’t really mention it but is that how you would say it? Thank you in advance :)
Yes, you are right ✅️ 😆
Those courses are very snackable and have great entertaining content. What kind of romanisation is being used though?
佢 would be keoi5 in Jytuping and not cui5. Is the Yale system used here?
I am using jyutping in all my current lessons. Since this one is my first video 3 years ago. I was trying to mix and match for easier understanding for everyone. But as time went by. I realized there are lots of people who really learning Cantonese in a very serious manner. So I standardized to jyutping. Sorry for the confusion.
Hi Amanda! I'm from South Africa but now I live in Hong Kong. I have found your videos to be such a great tool for learning languages.
Thank you very much for watching!
Enjoy the next 150+ episodes😉
Kindly please let me know if I can learn or join your classes
Currently I don’t teach private class. But I have a Patreon page for learning. There are some free material as well. You can take a look.

Miss amanda, may I ask what if some people are biracial how to say "I'm half filipino and half chinese". Another example, "He is half-japanese half chinese"
Always watch your Cantonese tutorial,, if you don't mind having a video on same Cantonese rhyme word
E. G. #9 as kau
Enough as kau

Thank you for your suggestion. I’ll think about it.
How to say Israel and Israely🤔🤔🤔🤔
And thank you very much !!! You explain everything perfectly!!!!!!
Israel 以[yi5]色[sik1]列[lit6]
The first word 以，same as "can" 可"以", you can see lesson 25
色 is the same word as color, 顏"色", you can see lesson 26
😊
Israeli 以[yi5]色[sik1]列[lit6]人[yan4]
You can watch lesson 2 again for the pronunciation of "people"人
Thank you for watching!
Hi, can i check for the last sentence when you say "i am english" in cantonese, why did the pronunciation of the lai become lei? 5:06
Thank you for your question. The pronunciation of 嚟 is lai4. In spoken Cantonese, we can say lai4 or lei4. Both of them are okay.😉
Hi Amanda.
How do I say Nepal in Cantonese?
And, I am Nepalese in Cantonese?
Nepal
尼泊爾
nei4 pok3 ji5
for "I am Nepalese."
You can watch this video again and try yourself.😉
you can do it💪🏻
