HAS MY CANTONESE GOTTEN BETTER OR WORSE? | 我的廣東話有沒有進步？

[@imogendrake4353]

Be kind to yourself! When you reach a certain level of proficiency, the rate of noticeable progress does slow down, because you’re perfecting, rather than taking massive steps from zero. You already started off strong in your first video, so it’s normal that there’s not a massive gaping chasm of difference at this point. Your tones sound amazing, your speech is natural and fluent, and your smile is, as always, infectious. Great job! Ga yau!

[@Guresu]

Thank you so much!

[@cylau8179]

Your Cantonese is very good. Thanks from Hong Kong.

[@celinacheng9377]

You are improving and much smoother now. If you wanna learn more vocabularies, I recommend you to watch more videos in Cantonese which cover topics that you are interested in.

[@selectyoutuification]

your Cantonese is amazing not lieing Real good Thanks for the hard work

[@smallyan1ify]

you speak very very well Cantonese and you are so friendly and talented. MANY THANKS for your big effort in learning, improving and promoting Cantonese :) Best wishes from HK :)

[@hagnesyu30]

You speak Cantonese much better now, carry on

[@malihk97]

No need to apologize Grace ❤️ You always do a good job because you are willing to learn 💪 All the best with your studies ❤️ Btw, “perfect,” in your context, you can say, colloquially, 「超正」。 You can also mark down those phrases that you can't say in Cantonese during your video, and find which Cantonese words you can use, that will enlarge your vocabulary. All the best!

[@Lonelyeco]

You speak faster now which is good.

[@soreyaa1228]

I agree!

[@dancc235]

Your cantonese really improved so much 👏🏻 and those cantonese slang you have used so well ! support ! hope you visit Hong Kong later 😉😉

[@tresbienmdr]

你廣東話已經好流利啦 俾啲信心自己～加油～

[@paulyan9834]

The difference is not big because 1 year ago, your Cantonese was already very good. There are of course improvements. 1. Like you said, your Cantonese is now more fluent; and 2. You have a much bigger vocabulary. Well done!

[@wendyma6226]

You improved a lot and i am very proud of you. I told my chinese daughters that you speak cantonese better than them 😂 lol

[@kayiskay522]

Your Cantonese is absolutely fabulous 👍🏻👍🏻 I believe getting the right tone could be most tricky part but you excelled it brilliantly! Don’t worry about the speed, it will come naturally when you practice more. Honestly, i rendered this video x2 faster, it sounds nearly as a native speaker! Well done, keep it up💪🏻

[@Guresu]

Wow, thank you so much!

[@Bevis888]

Hello~sound your live is quite busy, take care yourself , support you 👏😁

[@selectyoutuification]

it is true that your Cantonese has improved alot. keep up the good work Thanks for keeping this language alive. Thank you for all your videos

[@Anrong1]

yes， it's true. You do improve a lot.

[@fannyau8958]

How can you learn and speak so good without a Cantonese friend talking with you every day! It’s very impressive! Good job!

[@hiukwantang1802]

Grace, cheer up, you speak fluent Cantonese, I am so proud of you, really, keep going, I am your super fan. Best of luck to your studies.

[@veenirvana]

I think you speak very good Cantonese and your Cantonese improved a lot! Good luck on your exams next year! Sending you ❤️ from Hong Kong 😊

[@hokyant]

I actually feels you sounds like a native speaker! Your intonation is really good! If you really want to level up your Cantonese, learn more expressions from your HK friends, such as "點呀你dim ar nei（how are you）" "好衰架你ho sui ga nei(you are so bad)” that would makes you get closer to a native Cantonese speaker :) One more thing, no need to rush your words, just like me, if I rush my words, people can't hear me clearly.

[@li_tsz_fung]

But I feel like her way of rushing words is quite natural. Many language learn can't find the right timing to pause, but the way she quickly speaks 「姐係呢」「但係」「真係好」 is pretty native. We pause after those words

[@meiling247]

Your Cantonese is fantastic - I hope one day I can speak half as well as you! I love that you speak a little slower because it’s great listening practice as an absolute beginner. Thanks for producing videos when you can between studies!

[@auwanho]

I think it’s obvious that you have spoken way faster with phrases what you frequently use and you are so much smoother. I think you can try to let go of the fear of mispronouncing and just try to speak really fast for like an exercise and listen to the playback to see if you could understand what you are talking about (or how bad it is) And dont be too stressed about mispronouncing the tone because as native sometimes I do too, and most of the time we still can understand pretty well. Just they might laugh at it for a while.

[@suejmaryoung]

I am really impressed with the improvement of your cantonese! Keep up the good work! Your pronunciation is excellent.

[@cacritic28]

My adult children and I are Chinese born in USA and we can’t speak Cantonese as well as you do. It is hard to perfect another language unless one is thoroughly immersed in it 24/7. You are so talented and smart, I hope you would have the opportunity to study abroad in Hong Kong or China so that you would be able to perfect your Cantonese and Mandarin. You may not sound like a completely fluent native speaker YET but I am really impressed with you. Just keep speaking your Cantonese and you will make even more progress.

[@ellsaleung578]

You speak very well Cantonese!!

[@karenko6753]

You are fantastic, keep it up!!

[@hkjmok]

Your Cantonese is very good. 😀👍

[@米糕-q1c]

Proud of you.👍👍👍

[@dagmarslwong9474]

Amazing Grace! I really appreciate how much effort you put in both learning Cantonese and studying for uni at the same time! It’s really hard to keep other things going when facing a lot of stress and work.. I wish I could keep on doing the things I like like the way you do and wish you the best on your way to university! Ga yau support you and see you next year 🤟🏼🤟🏼

[@lilphoenixjay]

The best time to level up with these Hong kongers here

[@michellek7169]

So delighted to see you again. Add oil !!!

[@litco1774]

wow your cantonese is amazing

[@tomma768]

Trust yourself! Proud of you 👍🏼

[@fiv3532]

Good luck with your exams, Grace! Looking forward to more Cantonese videos

[@keithng2517]

Since Cantonese is your secondary language not your native language you can lose it if you don't make use of it over a while. If it wasn't for the pandemic, you would have visited Hong Kong by now. This is the only part of your life you are missing, using Cantonese 24x7 in your life. At first when people look at you, they will approach you speaking English but keep speaking Cantonese so that they know you are fluent. Therefore they will talk back to you in Cantonese. Always approach HK people by talking to them in Cantonese first this will avoid people speaking to you in English.

[@JustMonikaWithMe]

You did improved some and I agree you may need something for a break tho. First your pronunciation is great so people are impressived, then time to time theres odd grammer which might be shadowed by your other language habbit. Maybe focus on your AL now, see if you like to set a real target to challenge yourself later. #GlobalBritain 😜

[@DreamKi-we5zt]

Good to see you again Grace😚❤️

[@antonyyfk]

Generally, we can use both “啲” and “咗” to describe the comparison. You can say “發音標準咗”. I am so impressed with your Cantonese.

[@ItsOKmusiccorner]

Very good 👍🏻

[@pangyinyee4275]

Your cantonese is very good now

[@Guresu]

Thank you!

[@levinitabarlow9569]

👍🏽👍🏽Awsome!❤️

[@axelkok4559]

Cantonese is a very difficult language to learn & as a Cantonese myself, I actually think you speak better Cantonese than myself.

[@tuck-kongng8962]

I agree with you Alex. I am a Malaysian Cantonese. I couldn't speak like Grace.

[@mentholyin]

improved a lot 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻 by a hongkonger

[@tingv3333v]

Thanks for learning Cantonese!

[@ezimi]

Grace you're just amazing 🙌🙌💜

[@leechoonpeng1123]

Linguistic agree that Cantonese is closer to classical Chinese in Grammer and pronunciation, if you read ancient Chinese poetry in Cantonese, it really rhyme well as compare with mandarin, Cantonese originate in Guangdong Canton, nowadays young generation of Guangdong Canton does not speak and learn Cantonese, this is very worrying, Grace being a foreigner learn Cantonese because she knows we need to preserve Cantonese language and we cannot let the language which had 2000 years of history died and disappear in Canton, we have to learn from Grace of her good effort in learning Cantonese which is not her mother tongue, so let us being a native Cantonese preserve our Cantonese language and culture💖😃

[@mcgibs]

Reminds me a lot of OP vs RP in British english.

[@billchan8817]

你講嘅廣東話而家已經唔錯㗎喇，我認為快慢唔係重點，講得慢都冇問題噃，最緊要清楚咁講到你要講嘅意思出嚟，話晒你都唔係廣東人，你又冇講到嘰哩咕嚕𦧲晒脷吖嘛，咁就算係幾好㗎喇，當然幾時都可以再好啲添啦，我畀咗個like你，希望你繼續努力啦，加油！

[@AdamFJH]

You haven't improved much because you were already very good before however I would say you almost sound like a native speaker now that you speak faster. The only mistake I notice in this video was at 1:04 where you said "hey mm-hey jun-ga?" where you used the wrong tone for "ga" but then you repeated the same sentence again with the right tone for "ga" so I think you are well aware of what tones to use. Your Cantonese is amazing.

[@lordathenapretty7935]

Wow, I was actually looking through KZbin to see if I could listen to spoken Cantonese (most were learning ones), then I stumbled on your 2020 video. I don't really know people who speak Cantonese around my area, so it's fascinating to hear people speak Cantonese. I'm not particularly sure if I can be considered a native speaker considering I've only spoken it up until I was two, and forgot it. What resources did you use? Or did you primarily use Ling?

[@wm6549]

Amazing

[@0h879]

你好叻女 👍我唔識英文👍但是我都要努力學英文🤪

[@Runningbowels]

Your Cantonese is better than mine and I am a Cantonese - lol.

[@taiwaigo8519]

you are awesome.

[@punchbuggyca]

Very impressive! Did you do everything phonetically? Or could you read chinese already?

[@kebenny]

Your Cantonese is better than many non-native born persons in Hong Kong

[@sucheung8234]

Very well👍👍👍

[@natnn7850]

Yes you are speaking relatively fast

[@stevenc4701]

Grace, please promise me one thing, never stop speaking Cantonese. It is absolutely amazing to say the least ! Please check your PayPal account. I made a small donation for my support to you. Steve C.

[@Guresu]

Thank you so much Steve!

[@stevenc4701]

@@Guresu You are very welcome, Grace. By the way believe it or not, you have a richer Cantonese vocabulary then I do. For example, you know how to say "share" and "comments" in Cantonese and I don't. I was born speaking Cantonese to my relatives but raised in the U.S. So my English has push my Cantonese off a bit.

[@meh8650]

Woah, just found your channel and you almost speak like a native speaker! How long have you been learning? It's so awesome to see people learning the language :D Greetings from Australia :) (my family speek Cantonese every day but I don't know Jyutping or how to write lololol)

[@li_tsz_fung]

You think you didn't improve a lot. But did you struggle less to find the right word?

[@ericchan9731]

開左學，我們通常這樣說

[@ericchan9731]

Semester started: Hoi Chor Hok, 開左學。 Very seldom use 開學左 Hoi Hok Chor. It would be an inversion in Cantonese language

[@Guresu]

Thank you!

[@ericchan9731]

@@Guresu next time I try to make some examples about present continuous tense and past perfect tense. I might make and video for you.

[@ericchan9731]

@@Guresu that's the only improper usage (very very very minor) in the whole video. So your Cantonese is very good. Vocabulary can be learnt later on. Just some correct tense usages are good for expression.

Dont be mad at yourself. Some Asian kids dont even bother to learn.

You are the foreigner with the least accent I have ever seen🥰

What happened? Your Cantonese slipped.
