I am Amanda from Hong Kong. I make easy and practical cantonese learning videos for complete beginners to intermediate level.
My full time job is a flight attendant. I enjoy studying foreign languages. My job allows me to visit many places and meet many people. So that I have more chances to practice what I have learned.
Due to the covid, I haven't fly regularly for over a year. I find KZbin is extremely helpful for maintaining my language proficiency. One day, out of curiosity, I looked for cantonese learning channels. I was so surprised that there are so little and most of the good one are even from overseas. That's why I started "5 minute cantonese" on 2020.

Since you have already covered “may I ask”, “do you mind”, “please”, “excuse me”, and “trouble”, I think the main new lesson here is how to say change seats lol

[@5minutecantonese]

Yes! 🤫 The title is for attracting subscribers. 🤫 But for all my lovely audiences who has followed me for a long time. I don't want to simply repeat the basic without teaching new things. 🤫 Did I speak soft enough?🤣🤣🤣🤣

As a content creator myself I know it’s hard sometimes to think about content in each video, but I felt a bit of a wasted opportunity to use the same sentence for all expressions. We could have learnt some more vocab! Also, maybe it’s my issue, But wasn’t the audio a bit lower than usual? Thanks for the regular uploads!

[@5minutecantonese]

Thank you very much for your comment! I would pay more attention to that. 🙏🏻

Great lesson as usual 名, is that supposed to be Man? I've heard/seen it as Meng and Ming, so Man so I'm always not sure which one to say. 麻煩你， I think would translate better as "sorry to bother you but". We use "may I trouble you" we usually use when asking for a Noun. "May I trouble you for a drink?"

[@5minutecantonese]

Oh... I am so sorry. It's my mistake, I'll put that on my subtitle. It's meng2! I am so blessed to have you guys as my eyes and ears without judging me. Ahh... Right, it's really nice to translate that as "Sorry to bother you" If we want to say "May I trouble you for a drink?" We'll also say 麻煩你 in Cantonese

[@SimonCU]

I always find it difficult to understand the difference between the 2 ways to say thank you (forgive my spelling = m4 goi1 and dor jee) .. what is the difference?

[@5minutecantonese]

Thank you very much for watching.😆 Please refer to lesson 3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jae2iJ1-fLKAb6c

[@SamRaja-kg7gs]

Adding 1 is best learning formula 😂😂👏👏

[@5minutecantonese]

🤣🤣🤣 yes

[@winter-dg2te]

Amanda siusiu problem with the english writing "Man6" and "Man2" have different pronunciation. "Man2" sounds like "meng2" for me, is it correct ?

[@5minutecantonese]

You are right ✅️ I have a typo on that. I have put that on the subtitle. Meng2 is correct Sorry for the mistake 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@winter-dg2te]

@@5minutecantonese Thank you, it was making me confused
