You have a very effective teaching method compared to almost every other Cantonese source I have looked for. Thanks for getting straight to the point and making things very vocal and clear.
I'm an English speaker, and my girlfriend is Cantonese. So I am trying to learn to speak with her, your lessons are so helpful so far, and I am looking forward to getting through them all and practicing with my gf! Thank you.

hi amanda your teaching is excellent i am just enjoy learning the way you teach.. i am in malaysia .. but here they speak cantonease with a different tone buy anyway its interesting learning with you dho chea..
M goi Amanda. So far your videos were very helpful. I'm convinced and I'll start subscribing 😊 I'm studying one video per day, don't mind me commenting everyday 😅 (Except sing kei sei due to my Mandarin class. It was very helpful for me to pickup Cantonese real fast).
my current lessons (from lesson 39 onwards) are all using jyutping. For the earlier lesson, I combined yale and jyutping system as i thought it might be easier for English speaker. But I received the comments that it's better to standardized to one system. So I have chosen jyutping.
This is great, I have been in Hong Kong from last 6 years but was never able to learn. Never had access to good learning material as well. But thanks to you, you are teaching in a very simple way. Can you also suggest any English to jyutping book which i can get in Hong Kong ? which might help me to built up good vocablary ?
So Monday is sing1 kei4 yat1 and Sunday is sing1 kei4 yat6? The only difference is the tone? I had to watch the video several times. That seems to be the case. 🙂
@@5minutecantonese Do ze saai Amanda, for the clarification. I find your channel's the best there is. It's concise and clear and direct. Keep up the good work. San Nin Faai Ngok! By the way, to say Jan 2 is yat yeut leung yat...?😇 doei m zyu, too many question...
@@laibaminhaj2888 For us, they sound very different. Our ears are very sensitive with tones. But it's hard for us to tell the difference between from n and l.
Is HK Cantonese where the N changes in L for some words? E.g. "you" or "year". Saw the way it's spelled but heard it pronounced differently and I want to understand if it's an accent/regional difference or my hearing is just starting to fail haha
It's not your fault. We do have a hard time to this. For us, they are similar. I try my best to correct it. But when you hear the local speak. They do the same sometimes. I am sorry about that. 😅
No need to correct! I just want to distinguish to better imitate when I speak. I'm surrounded by more HK than Canton folk, so it's very useful to see/hear the pronunciation so I can use it when I'm around other people who use it
I guess it's my bad pronunciation. We Cantonese couldn't tell much the difference between n and l. Only when we really conscious about that. Sometimes I guess I just don't notice. I am so sorry about that
@@5minutecantonese wow Do je! Fantastic you reply to each and every comment and that too so quick. Applause 👏 You should tell us all how you manage to do some many things 🙂 I love your teaching. Thank you!
these numbers behind the words are very confusing in this context. I see sam 1 is 3 and sei 3 is 4... better use the normal rising falling high low ... strokes above the vowels I say

welcome to 5 minute Cantonese 😀
The end of the video makes me miss my Cantonese great grandmom who passed away so much! She taught me these numbers when I was 2 or 3 years old. 😢
I am sure it must be a wonderful memory. I am happy that this video connects you and your memory with your grandma. ♥️
Your. nephew learned the numbers very easily!
I’m a French speaking person with Cantonese origins trying to learn Cantonese . I really enjoy your lessons. Fun and straight to the point !

Thank you very much. How to distinguish between Monday and Sunday if both are 'sing kei yat'?
The main difference is the tone, Monday is jat1 and 日(Sunday) is jat6.
more tone practice on lesson 74

Your lessons are really beneficial. May i know about the Romanization you use, Is it called Jyut Ping ?
my current lessons (from lesson 39 onwards) are all using jyutping. For the earlier lesson, I combined yale and jyutping system as i thought it might be easier for English speaker. But I received the comments that it's better to standardized to one system. So I have chosen jyutping.

Yes, you are right!
@@5minutecantonese Thanks for the reply! 🙂
❤❤❤❤❤❤
😆
Love it!
Most numbers say like the same in thai. It helps me to remember less😂 thank you
Cool 😎
My wife sat on the other side of the room asked why I frantically wave both my hands every time I start a lesson 😂🙌
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi Amanda,
What is the cantonese of "numbers"?
sou3 zi6 數字
😉
Nei hou Amanda. Is it also okay to say the year 2021 like this: yi chin ling yi sap yat nin...?
Hi! thanks for watching. We won't say in this way. We say yi ling yi yat nin or just yi yat nin.😊

Hi then how do u differentiate between Monday n Sunday in Cantonese?
@@laibaminhaj2888 For us, they sound very different. Our ears are very sensitive with tones. But it's hard for us to tell the difference between from n and l.
Is Sunday and Monday both 'Sing Kei Yat'? What's the exact tone pronunciation difference?
Monday is tone 1.
Sunday is tone 6

You can watch this video.

@bruno_diaz-39 Thank you very much ☺️
Amanda, what do the numbers ending the words mean? For example: "Luk6" (number 6) and "sap6" (number 10). What are they related to? Thank you.
Those are tones. I will explain this on lesson 73 onwards. Stay tuned 😉
@@5minutecantonese Thank you so much. Take care!
search for jutping explanation... there are 6 tones and those numbers tell you which tone you should use.
@@bitkarek Thank you
Can i clarify the 年，written as nin but sounds like lin ?
I guess it's my bad pronunciation. We Cantonese couldn't tell much the difference between n and l. Only when we really conscious about that. Sometimes I guess I just don't notice. I am so sorry about that
@@5minutecantonese oh no pls dont apologise. I was only clarifying.
@apschweiz 😉 yup! nin4 is the correct pronunciation.
Can I swap the pronunciation for number 0 as Ning instead of Ling ? I prefer say with the N cause Hong Kong people tend to do that often
The official pronouncation is ling4. I can't tell you to swap🤫 here. I recommend to stay with "l" for this one. 😉
@@5minutecantonese no I prefer NING. It sound better off the tongue like most hk people agree
Hi Amanda, I checked on a dictionary, they pronoun month as yut6 instead yuet6.
That one is a pretty s version.
The newest one from jyutping is jyut6
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for this. Today is 二零二四年三月三十一日. Is it correct? And does 星期日上午 mean Sunday morning?
Yes! Everything is perfect! 😉
@@5minutecantonese thank you, ma'am.
Wait so monday and tuesday have the same names?
no, sing1 kei4 jat1 (Monday)
sing1 kei4 ji6 (Tuesday)
😁
