Speak Cantonese on Day 1. Be fluent in Year 7 Poetic Cantonese

This is a speech as an assignment for my Year 2 Term 2. She had only picked up Cantonese her own before joining my Year 2 course by surrounding herself with Cantonese. I was impressed by her existing level before joining us.  

A slightly longer one, but is good practice for listening. I have extracted some vocabulary for you in the middle of this episode. Enjoy!

Pick up your Cantonese starting in 2023. My group classes & self-paced course can help.

This is a speech from Year 2 term 1 class.  Give it a listen and learn some potential new vocabulary.

Year 2 classes are perfect for people who has learned a bit of Cantonese and can perform basic communication while travelling in Hong Kong. We will further build vocabulary to speak about these topics:

- Chinese New Year traditions and turnip cake recipe
- getting to know your colleagues at work
- speaking about your travels and hobbies
- booking a table; ordering food; asking for directions in town
- speaking to relatives to learn more about lives of immigrants
- communicating with minibus drivers & getting boat tickets
- talking about symptoms and comparison between Chinese & western medicine

In year 2, we dived deeper into grammar, lexical variations and colloquial expressions. Combined with 12 units of listening, vocabulary sets made ready for you on Quizlet, impromptu questions and occasional speech,  my goal is to prepare you to feel comfortable and build confidence using Cantonese if you were to move there.

Hopped on a plane to Berlin to attend a yestheory meetup, which last for three days, followed by the premiere of Project Iceman on the forth day. I've built a pretty good momentum of meeting new friends during my trip, so meeting hundreds of people feel natural to me! And I did quite enjoy it. But two straight days of networking proved to be too draining for me. I ended up avoiding the crowd on the third day, but making myself re-join them on the forth day was so worth it. I'll tell you more in the next episode.
