LEARN CANTONESE WITH ME - FRUIT VOCABULARY

[@lokchisiu]

It's funny how you switch back to English when stuck with the vocabulary, which sounds so much like everyday Hongkongers speech. And your pronunciations are so accurate that you are much better than many young native speakers suffering from lazy tones.

[@TheHappyPantry]

Yes, I agree ! Many have “lazy tone” aka “懶音” including me 😂

[@micah385]

Why is her pronunciation so on point. Amazing

[@mizukiojamajo3910]

For the tone of lychee , coincidentally , the fourth tone of it , is the name of a Hong Kong artist called 黎姿（Gigi lai)

[@bjornchan3083]

I'm one of those who came from LIHKG (連登) In the post which shared your video, many people supported you and upvoted, but there did are people who posted some racist comments (and the comment got some upvotes). LIHKG is a forum that might not be very respectful, in fact, the majority of the users are quite mean to literally everything, you might get to see it yourself after you've learned 漢字 better. But there are people like me who appreciated your work and won't judge someone by their skin colour, so yeah, LIHKG can be a shitty place, I would advise not to browse it if you're not ready to see the mean comments

[@Guresu]

I had a feeling that there would be comments like that. It's sad, but don't worry, I don't take it to heart. Even if I wanted to browse through the comments, I can't since I can't read Chinese. Maybe that's a good thing, though haha

[@whatislovebutonelonggame5406]

Greetings from Hong Kong. LIHKG is called " lin done" in Cantonese. Happy to see your channel growing so fast~

[@黃雨虹-j3t]

it's "dung" (sounds like the word "lung"), not "done" :D

[@Guresu]

Thanks! 😃

[@wongyiuyu9284]

You are really hard work and you actually know many Cantonese! Listening to your Cantonese feels very comfortable as you like a native Hong Konger talking and sharing with me! Appreciate a lot of your effort and hard work!!!!!!

[@Raven-Winter]

I stated to learn cantonese also, seeing other people learning it too is inspiring ! :) To answer your question my favourite fruit is cherry !

[@homingyeung4976]

WOW, I am proud of you👍🏼 keep going

[@Raven-Winter]

@@homingyeung4976 Thank you ! I will ! ☺️

[@arrivatardiallafestad5454]

Hey Le grinoire, very inspiring to hear you trying to learn Cantonese too! 👍🙂. It's not that easy at the start, I'm into learning about other cultures and languages too. I know it's always useful to have nstive speakers of the language to practise with whenever possible, so I can practise some Cantonese with you too if you'd like. Although, I was raised in the UK, Cantonese is the language and culture of my family, so I know it pretty well. 👍🙂

[@Raven-Winter]

@@arrivatardiallafestad5454 Hi ! Thank you ! I already have language partners for cantonese but I'd be happy to have more. My native language is French, I can help with it. You can contact me on instagram @raven_vegan :)

[@rickyleung9690]

Hi Grace, you are so awesome , I live in California , I showed my kids your video, it’s very encouraging for them to learn Cantonese…. thank you and keep it up 💪💪💪

[@wongsungtak7252]

Its stunning how you pronounce almost all the tones of the words on point considering it is your first time reading it. Ga Yau!!!

[@mcc271]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 加油！好勁呀你！ Marvelous! Very nicely done!

[@papermint6089]

your pronunciation is sooooooooooooo gooooooooooood!!!

[@dlg7555]

Holy molly!!!! You make me so happy as a cantonese speaker who grew up in the UK. Keep going!!

[@susieangelo6410]

Thanks Grace for all your tips to Master the Language even better.

[@CSCSHK]

Please visit Hong Kong if no more covid-19

[@Jaeioum]

I must say the pronunciation is on point most of the time especially when reading from the book. Add oil!

[@chenyee]

Guresu, you are so smart and beautiful. I was from Hong Kong and now live in Singapore. Love your channel. Please make more video in Cantonese. You are just brilliant.

[@tr3088]

I think even tho you may not hv all the basic vocabulary u definitely got that sense to be able to speak cantonese in the right tone which is key to authenticity. Keep up the good work Grace!

[@steelworks2375]

Your Cantonese intonation is authentic. Amazing! (I'm a Hongkonger) Go ahead. I subscribed your YT channel and I want to learn more about foreign languages with you, also different cultures as well. Cheers.

[@orangegrass1]

I am a native speaker. And I have to say your pronunciation is better than mine! Add oil!!

[@Guresu]

There's no way its better than yours, but thank you so much!

[@jameslee4461]

Love the series and learning Cantonese vocabulary with you!

[@wongyiuyu9284]

You are very smart and skilful in memorising the Cantonese like melon you can relate to the melon type. So creative that you links dragon with dragon fruit!😄 You are very respectful to Cantonese, as you understand Cantonese is not just a pronunciations, you knows the importance of tone because the tone will change the meaning of Cantonese...... Really nice!!!!!! I like your sharing and looking forward to your new progress!!!!!!

[@TheHappyPantry]

Wow!! Im seriously so proud of you 👏🏻 🥲 Love from Hong Kong !!!

[@birdbirdbird1565]

I thought you were growing up in Hong kong when I first clicked on your channel. Wow, you have good memory to know all vocabularies.

[@celiachan7561]

Thank you for making the effort to learn our language, I am grateful. My boyfriend has been trying to learn Cantonese, but hardly any books available on Amazon (or otherwise in Kindle Edition, which he does not have kindle), I was wondering where did you get the book you are using? I would like to get him the book, so he can start practising. :)

[@ytbruh4275]

Compare to foreigner, i think not many people above you in terms of sound and tone. But for native speaker, you are very good. Now you more need to learn through daily life in that language. You are right, those gaps might be kindergarten stuff, but you never experience it, u don't even know what u missing.

[@luhahahan]

The most difficult thing with learning canto is to differentiate between the formal words (how its written in a letter, for example) compared to the "slang" vocabulary (what we say in day to day sentences). For example at 6:22 you say "ging serng" which means "often" but since the rest of your sentence is more "slang" it would have been smoother to say "seng yut" "seng yut" directly translates to "all day" but in day to day chit chat it is used as "often"

[@Guresu]

Thank you for this!

[@megan8417]

Surprisingly im learning cantonese so much faster by watching your videos than other online resources/classes. Tysm!! Hope to get to your standard one day 加油！

[@Guresu]

Awe, I’m so happy that you’re finding my videos useful!

[@d2009wong]

Excellent👏👏👍👍 I don't know much about phonetics but the tones and how the sound is made could mean a big difference. Like 荔枝 vs 黎知,蜜 vs 墨. Anyways, I had been corrected by my friends a few times. Like 牛、廣(講)、國(各)😌😌

[@hrdgms27]

0:03 that lil orb reminds of any chinese who believes in the after life will say that orb is a spirit

[@Lazalaza]

LIHKG is 連登 (Leen Dang)

[@ericleung1578]

I think this is great how you can use your videos to learn the different chapters in the book. Your Cantonese pronunciation is so accurate. I love the segment of how you said lychee (荔枝). That part is funny especially to the people who don’t know Cantonese. I bet they would say “what?!!! They sound exactly the same! What’s the difference...”

[@Guresu]

Yeah hahaha, that definitely would've been me a few years ago!

[@ericleung1578]

I keep going back to 8:20 over and over again...repeat and repeat. It’s so funny. Lol. I look forward to seeing your new videos. I hope you would make more videos.

[@cathyng9981]

Great video!!! I learned so much. It seems like in the UK, what you call porridge is what we call in the US oatmeal. Because in Cantonese, we call porridge “juk”

[@Guresu]

Yess, we don't say oatmeal in the UK haha we say porridge. But it's not the same porridge as 'juk'

[@ywyywy9902]

Leng nui neui hou, persimmon Chinese word is 柿, if you have time you can correct it. Btw normally I name it by 2 words ( nam4 ci2 腍柿 ). Ga yau

[@nicolasthombley2521]

XieXie Muchisimas Gracias You are The Best.

[@rexrexrex4400]

I think this could be a two way lesson. Teaching Englisher speakers the cantonese pronunciations of some fruits, and hkers the English name of those fruits.

[@wienohtria535]

Very good. Next time you can explore the Chinese supermarkets.

[@anguslee9678]

Support you from Hong Kong

[@ceciwingc]

Greetings from HK~其實你已經講得好叻啦🤣🤣 I really want to have a talk with you coz you are really amazing😆. Actually cantonese is ready hard to learn to foreigner. Anyway 繼續加油💪🏻 Hope you can share more to others about Cantonese~

[@heartyee]

white cherries are my fav!

[@Guresu]

Oooh, I've never tried them before.

[@jessieyuan1366]

Hi! I just found your channel and I really like your videos. My family speaks Taishanese, and watching your videos feels like we're on a call together trying to learn and practice Cantonese :) I don't know if you've tried this aside from the youtube videos, but I enjoy watching TVB/Hong Kong tv shows even though I'm still at a level where I need to read subtitles most of the time. Also! please keep making these videos, I love seeing your progress and more than anything I feel like I've made a new friend. Cheers!

[@jessieyuan1366]

I'm currently watching the third season of Line Walker!

[@Guresu]

Aweeee thank you Jessie, you’re so sweet! Yes, I also watch Hong Kong TV, I’m currently watching a show called The Defected on Netflix. I’ve only seen season one of Line Walker, so let me know how the second and third seasons are!

[@benlee7800]

Congratulations with your channel growth! 👏👏✌️

加油呀！你啲廣東話發音好好呀 keep it up！：D 我哋香港人會叫LIHKG Forum 做 “連登”

[@bradieng]

Actually, you have spoken well.

[@edmond5713]

以前 多數叫’生果’ 而家應該係受普通話影響 多咗人用 ’水果‘ 我認為字面上’生果‘比較合理

[@soulfire88888888]

Want to friends with me 🤔🥺🙂

[@yatta4059]

Clicked on this vid because I own the exact same book you showed in the thumbnail haha

[@Guresu]

Thanks for clicking! How do you find the book?

[@OutletFlow]

Did I watch a British women talk about fruit in Cantonese? Yep. Watched it twice. 😂

[@Guresu]

Hahah thanks for watching

[@hihihi11121997]

[@victorialeeinnyc]

I'm in pre-intermediate Canton classes and I do NOT sound like you haha you're definitely intermediate, I think!

[@Guresu]

Awe, thank you!

[@arrivatardiallafestad5454]

Hi Grace, great video, very inspiring. If you ever need another Cantonese-speaking practice partner, I'd be glad to help you. Let me know if you have Insta, or whatever way we could connect. Ok 'Gar-yao'! 👍😃
