"I live in a country that speaks the language" --- LOLs --- Quincy Massachusetts (plus you are a much better teacher than my wife originally from Hong Kong)
Ok now im starting to learn cantonese...this is a proper way to teach this language...its very convient for me as a begginer...though i really dislike their accent it's seems pretty boring, dull, annoying, uninteresting...im not trying to hate the language i just say what i feel about it...still this hk girl really knows how to make learning cantonese to be interesting as possible....😅😀 i appreciate her effort 👍
Thank you for studying with us. It's interesting that you find the accent dull, some said it's like a melody, but everyone is different, right? :) Feel free to ask if you have any questions about the language or Hong Kong culture 😀
Eeeee thank you for this video! ❤ I am a Chinese Malaysian but cantonese 人 but I don’t really know how to speak, so I have been learning diligently by practicing with my father and watching a lot of Stephen Chow’s movies (they are so good as expected) I learnt a lot but sometimes I pronounced it wrongly cause it may sound a bit similar to mandarin, this video helped a lot thank you 💛💛✨🫶🏻
hi olivia! your videos been really helpful in so many ways! thankyou! but i kinda cant hold or last a conversation enough, maybe a video on linking words or conjunctions would be really great!
That's great! So this shouldn't be too hard for you ^^ Keep up the good work, and feel free to ask if you have any questions! :) Team CantoneseClass101.com
Great Video! I notice when you use the word 人 on its own you use the fourth tone (jan4) but when used in conjunction with another word/character e.g 男人 you use the second tone (naam4 jan2), can you please elaborate on this?
That's right, there are a lot of tone changes in Cantonese. For details, please check out this lesson on our site: www.cantoneseclass101.com/lesson/pronunciation-3-cantonese-tone-change-rules/
@@CantoneseClass101 What about mou5saai3 and dim2syun3? Do we need to switch the tones to mou5saai2 and dim2syun2? At 4:17 It sounds like she uplifts the tones.
Thank you for watching! The tone changes depending on the word combination. For instance, 人 by itself is pronounced jan4; but in the term 女人 or 男人, it's pronounced jan2. Have fun learning Cantonese, and feel free to ask if you have any questions :) Team CantoneseClass101.com

The numbers behind the romanization are tones. Since the same pronunciation in different tones has different meanings, that's an essential part of Cantonese language. :) To learn more about Cantonese tones, check out our other videos here: th-cam.com/video/XmmktTDoS04/w-d-xo.htmlm18s th-cam.com/video/sCFuKo_9YFc/w-d-xo.html Team CantoneseClass101.com

Hello madame,good day.i am one of your followers can I ask madame?.may I know How to say this three sentences Cantonese? 1. I am a happily married. 2. I have Three childrens two girls and one boy. 3. I was born on June 14,1979 Thank you very much madame.,hoping for your response madame.
Good question! di1 has 2 main usages: first, as "some; those" under the possessive pronoun umbrella. Eg. ngo5 di1 tau4 faat3 "my hair"; ngo5 di1 gau2 "my dogs" Second, as "a few; a little bit". Eg. jau5 di1 gui6 "a bit tired"; jau5 di1 man6 tai4 "a few problems."
I'm having difficulty deciding if I want to get a membership to this site. There's a whole lot of content with video, cards, dictionary and the 2000 common words etc, but there seems to be alot of on going discussion on forums online in regards to how the characters are presented on this site. Quite a few threads online have mentioned something along the lines of the characters taught here aren't correct because they're are using Mandarin characters with Cantonese pronunciation. And also some other issues with the translation. I want to really learn Cantonese fully, characters and all. Can somebody please clarify if joining this site will help me reach my goals or if these issues are actually true and would possibly hinder my learning. Thanks in advance, peace.
Thank you for the inquiry and we understand your concerns. On the site, if you look closely in the series description, we have some series teaching in written form (which looks similar to Mandarin but actually it's the standard Chinese writing system used in Hong Kong), and some series teaching in spoken form (the colloquial, daily-use conversation). Most of them are in spoken form, especially at the lower levels. Depending on the learner's purpose, we suggest different series, hence both forms are available on the site. :) Feel free to ask if you have any other questions, we're here to help :)

the video is about teaching specific nouns. she is just showing how to use them in a sentence, but to teach sentences while slowing down is for another video
is it just me or the video is kinda broing. no matter how, the explanation is fantastic,also e.g. is given.but i still think it can be better. 1.Lack of BGM,would it be nicer when teach the words comes along a lightly back ground music. 2.olivia`s tone sounds flat, ill say more positive and active will make awesome effect. 3.The time between each word is quite short,learner also need time even a moment to digest.or say the time control make me feel a little hurry. sorry~hope your channel is getting better and better.
