The teacher's method of teaching both simplified and traditional characters is amazing.

[Tigeresser]

This video appears to have been dubbed over and does not convince me of Brian's Cantonese. Although I am sure his Cantonese is OK, I have been studying for 12 years now.

[kansaikanadian]

@Tigeresser

You obviously should give up on Cantonese then.

[bananawafflez]

@Tigeresser No language takes more than 4 lears to learn.

[myfunkychannel]

mandarin is easy, my first language along with english was cantonese...and still i find cantonese sometimes hard

[cypresspuz]

For a master cantonese speaker, speaking mandarin is a child's game.

[Artharrex123]

Hes accent is not accurate

[yaa903]

he speaks like a retard lol

[eenuniekenaam]

speaking Cantonese is more impressive than speaking Mandarin. 

[okay081]

@eenuniekenaam i know, just there are now so many mandarin speaking foreigners. 

[JoulseyCupid]

@eenuniekenaam AND not to mention, EASIER to pronounce, hou mou?!

[LupRei]

his chinese name is wong fei hung? nice name xD and yeah, where he's living must cost a lot in hk. all my relatives that live there work their fingers to the bone, and still live in very small flats, which they said is still expensive in terms of rent.

[alancwwong]

he is good

[bigfatdick5000]

He lives in a mad nice apartment, he must be rich or something. lol

[XiaolongSimatong]

我真的很想学习粤语，但忙得没有时间。我看得懂视频的揭幕，但他­们说的话很难听懂，我一句话都不懂哈哈。他在香港住了一年了。我­真的很佩服像他一样的人。我想知道文化冲击对他有没有很大的影响­。

[knlei1]

u can watch vids but must u watch martial arts vids?

[knlei1]

sigh, makes me ashamed im chinese and i cant speak canto as good as him

[mayumiwinn]

This guy is so talented at speaking/reading Canto, puts me to shame!!

Words cannot describe how crazy that apartment is for HK standards= small fortune!!

[BLOKESGONEWILD]

i was also going to say this guy lives in an extremely posh flat for someone whos been in hk for 1yr. i know people been there for 50yrs, still living in the slums.

[silfon]

have u seen the picture with his gf?

[prismatism]

whoa. hold up. his apartment is amazing, especially for HK standards!

[silfon]

that scholarship must be massive!!

[legendarybloodfang]

he has that american acent when he speaks cantonese.

[bandai1983]

hahaha wong fei hong

[Rogapol]

Good on him for learning the language and integrating with the great chinese culture

[silfon]

I'd say that all cultures are great and all are an enrichment to our world

[asutn]

He did the right thing, actually learning through watching movies is the most effective way to acquire another language. Not only you can pick up the pronunciation and vocabulary, also you can learn about the culture. How you say things and when to say it in what situation is also important. I admire people who got the courage to go to a completely strange place and trying to learn a language. They usually succeed.

[okay081]

wow...he is alot better than I thought he would be...not bad

[jackieliem2007]

WOW, he is good !

[thibaulthalpern]

Very good for him!

[LoneWolf852]

How long did he study in Australia before coming to Hong Kong? Can I assume the proficiency displayed in the video is the result of that time + 1 year in Hong Kong?

[fcfhkmelb]

That's not suprising. There are too many Chinese in Australia. You don't have to know a single word of English to live or work there as long as u stay in the Asian communities.

[silfon]

sounds like a place i'd like to go for a while
