A white guy teaching in Cantonese!

My wife participated in weekend war games, and the instructor was a Gwai Lou who speaks like a Hong Kong local.

My wife recorded this video. The guy has 100% native sounding Cantonese and Native fluency. No body can tell the difference in real life.

To the guy that asked where they play war games, this place is located opposite HK Gold Coast.

Thanks.

cantonese actually sounds pretty good, I don't really want to learn mandarin

Cantonese is a pretty big dialect though. Mandarin is alot less fun to speak than Cantonese, I love the amount of exaggeration in tone that Cantonese people use.

@RareVDO Hmm,the trouble I'm having with Japanese is it's very rough,and even when I think I've at least got my point across,they don't get what I'm saying. The only way I have of contacting them is through the internet as the area I'm in is not very diverse. Cantonese I could maybe do,because there's sometimes Chinese people at the Jade Palace,but I haven't been learning Chinese for very long at all and I doubt I'd get past ''Ni hao''.

Everyone thinks a foreign language is diffult to learn to speak fluently. The truth is, for everyday usage, most language have only very limited vocabulary to learn. Most have fewer than 500 words. You can almost get by 90% of the time with less than a thousand word vocabuary. The real difficulty is mastering the language at very advanced level, lets say talking about philosphy or literature.

@BAIYUE1 From your blaming, I guess you are a person who views your own culture/ own language as the best and most mesmerizing. I appreciate it if that is true. But I really cannot admit your logic that if i love other languages more than my mother tongue, then i am a bad or even fake Cantonese... that really hurts which made me angry coz i never did something to blemish Cantonese... =[ so i got angry... do you understand? I hope so..

[mandonkeyhamsterdy]

@BAIYUE1 It is pathetic to see the wrong person always doesn't think think he himself is wrong. =[ I only say i love something other than my own culture, then i was blamed for something I have never done. bad or even fake cantonese haha...

[mandonkeyhamsterdy]

@BAIYUE1 You claim wrongly as usual again. I NEVER say I am unique or something else. I admit I am only one and of course is a minority. You too also are a minority. Every single person does not have the right to claim that he or she represents the majoruty. But you claim EVERYONE loves their mother tongue most, your act shows that you represent the majority in your mind. You have this theory based on what you see and you think what you see is everyone sees which is not right. got it?

@mandonkeyhamsterdy

Do you think you are unique man who was fascinated by different culture.Many many people as you who like different culture.But who like other than their mother as you is only minority.
