Ben, I admire you for your effort. I wish I can find a teacher who will teach me toishanese in L.A. My parents who passed away were from Toishan. I can understand the dialect but cannot speak it.
@sukikpop Thanks. Yes it was hard, and still is. I still don't consider myself fluent after 4 years, but I don't study as much as I did at first. Mostly now I just listen to podcasts and watch movies, and write down words that are new.
@MagneticFields86 Thanks, but I put my Toisanese practice aside for now since there were just too many other things going on in my life. My in-laws didn't understand why I would want to learn Toisanese anyways and kept telling me to just focus on Cantonese. If I make a video, it would just be very basic phrases and I might have forgotten some of the pronunciation by now.
i love american accents in chinese! I've heard cantonese is hard because of all the tones but your good except maybe you can work on the "ums" and gaps between phrases to improve more.
I love your videos!!!
Please keep making more :)

Keep going with the Cantonese dude!
Your video is pretty good. You also have a Toisanese and American accent too! It's wicked awesome. Do a Toisanese video!
My anglo partner wants to learn Cantonese too! You're an inspiration!

@NavyBabyBlue Thanks. Unfortunately I have a lot of "ums" even when I speak English too, but I could at least work on replacing them with 哩就
