Introduction / 介紹 - Cantonese / 廣東話

Feedback appreciated.

I've been learning for 3 years. I really need more practice speaking, so I thought I would start a vlog. Although, you can see I'm really having trouble thinking of things to say.

I consider my vocabulary pretty large, but I seem to have trouble recalling it quickly during conversation. Hopefully this blog - and your feedback - helps with that.

@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.

@jrotc1991 Thanks, which grammatical errors?

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!

@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.

Please keep making more :)

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.
