spent half an hour trying to relocate your channel, all the good stuff none of the fluff

[@ukelilly]

I thought it was irritating to go through all 6 tones of a word..just say it already..BUT once I sound all 6 tones too, I could find the correct tone. It is so useful ! Thanks.

[@TheSilentWalkerz]

Thank you so much for this video! Now, I'll ready to go to a bank in Hong Kong to exchange my US dollars into Hong Kong dollars for vacation next year!

[@yenvu2611]

Thank you so much for this helpful video!

[@SayGwilo]

Is there any way you can focus on more conversational stuff? You are the best Cantonese channel on KZbin by far but sometimes your lessons are very advanced, not the type of stuff the average Westerner would talk to the Chinese parents in law about!

[@mininaturalfarm]

SayGwilo I have been thinking about using some contemporary Hong Kong Soap Operas as a learning medium. But that takes a lot of time to find suitable ones and to actually do good analyses out of them. As you may realize, I am maintaining several different channels. One of them is "love lies bleeding mini natural farm" which I just created to teach people how to farm the natural way. Busy busy busy!

[@hyrussk71]

the best

[@airportshotels3060]

Nice!

[@stevepreston1059]

Thank you for teaching Cantonese. Most Cantonese lessons is for beginners and very few lessons for intermediate or advanced. But you are the best for intermediate. I have one questions: Why do you pronounce "L" for N words. Example: Computer is "Din No", but you say "Din Lo". You do that with other N words as well. Why???

[@alextran3795]

Can you do a segment about acting and emotions?

[@owenface1]

This channel has been so helpful for learning Cantonese! But the website is no longer active, is there somewhere I can find all this info? has it been archived anywhere?

[@Relentless2828]

Hey are you located in Hong Kong? Do you do tutoring?

[@rupulstilskin]

how to say deposit or withdraw money from a bank account?

[@stevepreston1059]

Who do you say Lay (for "you") instead of Nay ????

[@DiscreetSpirit]

"Lay" is Hong Kong accent Cantonese. "Nay" is mainland China Cantonese. Same situation for other situations in which words are said with an "L" sound in Hong Kong, and a "N" sound in mainland China. Like your computer example. "Din no" vs. "Din lo" or milk, "nai" vs "lai." Both would be understood given context.
