Check out our blog from time to time for other learning resources recommendations and updates! Featuring here are a few channels about Cantonese and/or Languages: Sue Marguerite's Cantonese Corner Meet Sue Marguerite! There isn't too too many resources about Cantonese in English on the internet, and Sue is one of the few YouTube channels out there making an effort to preserve Cantonese through teaching the English speaking audience, while Sue herself is a "foreigner" living in Hong Kong. Truly touched by her effort, passion and love for Hong Kong and its language. She is very sweet and has her own story about how she ended up learning Cantonese and living in HK. She teaches a lot of the basics of Cantonese and occasionally some life bits sharing and conversations with other guests. She even has videos teaching people how to play Mahjong with her mother-in-law! For English speakers looking for introductory Cantonese teaching videos, be sure to check these out. Super thankful for channels like this! 頴珊頻道 | The Wingshantsui Channel A super fun channel I found a while ago, really like how lively Wingshan is and I have always loved how she does her topics, always a delight to watch. She speaks in Cantonese in her videos but with both English and Cantonese subtitles. So for those who aren't too familiar with Cantonese just yet, no worries! This channel has a wide variety of topics, but they may be more appealing to the more advanced learners and/or Cantonese speakers. There are lots of Canto-puns involved, and a ton of cultural references, it's a great supplement if you already know some Cantonese, and want to find out more about the fun facts, cool slangs, idioms and local culture. But it is still valuable for those who are just starting to learn, after all, Cantonese is a living language, and it is just as important to get to know the culture connected with it.

Wow! I can't believe I just discovered this channel. It's been around for a couple of years. Props to Wing San for creating such fun videos about Cantonese. I absolutely love them and her presentation. Looks like I don't need to repeat what she's done, but maybe I'll try something she has not covered yet. Hoping one day we'd collaborate somehow, haha, as if I've already established something. Welp. I shall take action and not prattle. |
