A discussion on language learning in Cantonese

[ginsinsan]

Good job Steve, some people just have what it takes to learn foreign languages.

[ronironiism]

You rock! Not many of the foreigners know Cantonese!

[tntkim]

Wow you speak cantonese really really well!!!

[debrabra]

you got the Mandarin ascent !

[unknownpressure]

one word for you

!!! GING  !!!

[WinnieNotThePooh]

Steve阿叔，你講得好o岩，興趣加上恒心對語言學習很重要。­

[Chimpangel]

I'm curious how you would sound like if you spoke Taiwanese. I speak a little Taiwanese myself.

[tubelincoln]

Cantnese is not a language its a dialogue you fucking idiot

[lingosteve]

@tubelincoln dialogue

1 : a written composition in which two or more characters are represented as conversing

2 a : a conversation between two or more persons;

tubelincoln. You are vulgar and you are ignorant. Why bother commenting here?

Cantonese is a language.

[Codylangaugesblog]

@tubelincoln It is a dialect of Chinese, but linguistically is a different language. It is mutually unintelligible to a mandarin speak and many other dialects. Overall there are 52 different dialects. Most unintelligible to each other.

[alancwwong]

@tubelincoln

It can be a language. It developed earlier than Mandarin. Cantonese was an ancient Chinese language.

[manjusaka92]

@tubelincoln I guess you should say that word to yourself.

what is "dialogue"? you don't even know the difference between "dialogue" and "dialect"? haha ludicrous. u'd better revise ur english

[TehCacti]

@tubelincoln Your comment only confirms the fact that you're an idiot.. kind of ironic

[forgotsick2005]

Your Cantonese is so good, Wonder whether you have lived in Hong Kong ?

[limedaiquiri]

[kerodean]

How did you learn cantonese, is it because there are alot of cantonese speakers in Canada and you picked it up from them??

[zocurtis]

No, he went to Hong Kong when he was younger.

[Wanka85]

suoyi ne...:)

[roseeatsbabies]

Whoa...

Your Cantonese is great...

:D

[OhMymy]

I am a native catonese speaker. And let me tell you that you have very good pronunciation.

[PokePunch]

so how do u say "i don't have"?

[videouploaderguy12]

MO!

[dlobrown8888]

wah! you are very very close to sound like a native speaker of cantonese - I mean like just refine the tones a little more then you're there - overall it takes rise to get that good, knowing that cantonese is a difficult language to learn - you spoke brilliantly!

[NimaBehjati]

you are really smart.. how long you spend to learn how to speak Cantonese? and have you ever gone to HongKong or Guangdong to better yourself? or are you self taught? I have been workin @ it for about 7 months, and I feel I have made very little progress.. how long you been studying for?

[matchaisu]

Pretty good, though I feel like some of his tones sounded like a tinge of Mandarin-accent tones. Especially toward the end, but hey it's like that with me too (I grew up speaking Cantonese, but learned Mandarin in college). He is amazingg! :D

[terencewyt]

you are so cool ..

[carlotoda]

Holy moly sir! You said that you speak 10?! Wow! I applaud you! And what exactly are these languages? Is English included in the 10 that you speak? I'm only fluent on 3 so far. But unfortunately they are all my native language and I learned very little to be fluent at them. English, Spanish and Tagalog. And a little bit of Chavacano; a Spanish creole language from Zamboanga, Philippines. I can understand it coz I can speak Spanish so. ¿Pero tú sabes hablar español? Marunong po kayo ng Tagalog?

[goodbadxd]

you got most of the pronounciations correct~~ just the tones have some mistakes~~

cantonese is so difficult to learn, you must have practised for a very long time!!

very nice!! ^_^

(I'm from Hong Kong ^^)

[DawnOfWolves]
