I am Amanda from Hong Kong. I make easy and practical cantonese learning videos for complete beginners to intermediate level.
My full time job is a flight attendant. I enjoy studying foreign languages. My job allows me to visit many places and meet many people. So that I have more chances to practice what I have learned.
Due to the covid, I haven't fly regularly for over a year. I find UA-cam is extremely helpful for maintaining my language proficiency. One day, out of curiosity, I looked for cantonese learning channels. I was so surprised that there are so little and most of the good one are even from overseas. That's why I started "5 minute cantonese" on 2020.
I absolutely love the way she teaches and how excited she looks when she teaches cantonese, it make the language much more easier to learn and understand. Please keep up the great work!
Thank you very much for your comment. 😆
It's easy for me to understand because I studied Mandarin.
I am chinese canadian, and i cannot speak cantonese to save my life. Slowly though, with the help of your videos, i can finally find the confidence to have a converstation with my grandma in cantonese. Thanks a bunch Amanda
I am so glad to hear that. I am sure you will keep improving.
I am very glag to have found your lessons.
Tks very much from Vietnam❤️
You are most welcome.😊
Great lesson Amanda! Always happy to learn from your wonderful videos!!
Thank you 😊
I am an beginner but your teaching suite me well
Enjoy learning 😊
I've always struggled greatly trying to learn Cantonese. My mom came from the cantonese part of China and she's always been very dissappointed in me because I could never learn the language no matter what I did to study. But your lessons help a lot, Thank you! I'm finally learning (and its sticking in my head lol)😁
I am so glad to hear that
Great lesson! Well explained!
Thank you very much
Thank you, Teacher for the lesson.

Hello teacher nice tutorial keep up the good work. Im a filipino watching from macau china 👍👍👍💞💞💞💞💞❤❤❤
Hoy are welcome
Thank you for this! This is very helpful!
You are welcome 😊
Hey Amanda, your lessons are very helpful. Thank you! On the other hand, could you please add Cantonese lessons (English) to one playlist? That way it will automatically load from lessons 5-6, 6-7, and so on. I understand Cantonese but I couldn't speak very well, I always play your lessons while I'm working. Without the playlist, when your videos end It will jump to other Cantonese videos instead of continuing your video. Hope this gives you a better idea! Thank you again!
Actually I have a Playlist name 5 minute Cantonese, i changed it's name to Cantonese lesson (English), please try and let me know if it works 😉
Hi Amanda, I commented previously in another lesson, I have a suggestion if I may. Your lessons and your teaching method are great, and very effective. Continue with them as you're doing now, make that the first and main part of the lesson, some new vocabulary, a new grammar structure, etc. Then I think it would be good to add a short dialog for the topic to round off the lesson, no more than 3-5 short sentences. The dialog should be in Cantonese only, no English. This would 1. reinforce the lesson, 2, something for the student to memorize and/or shadowing. These short and basic dialogs for 5-10 minutes a day, I find then to be very effective for me as I absorb other languages naturally, so as I said, it's just a friendly suggestion to make your lessons even better. Thanks for your efforts, keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for your comments. I will definitely consider your suggestions for my later videos. Thanks for your kind feedback. Hope everyone enjoy learning.😊
Hi Amanda! I’d like to understand why 3:15 is “Saam dim saam”, but 2:40 you said as “saam dim baat”? Shouldn’t it be “Leung dim baat” following the logic? Or am I missing some grammar rules? Also the same for 3:50 - you’ve said as “sei dim sap”, instead of “saam dim sap”. Looking forward for your reply. Thanks
😅😅😅 It’s my bad. Sorry, I should push the hour hand further. I mean 3:40, saam1 dim2 baat3.
Sorry for the confusion
youre the teacher
Thanks for the lesson as always. wow, casual time is a bit different than mandarin. need to be careful.. 😅

Enjoy!
yi dim saam sap fan Jun. is leung Tim pun. owo i am learning thank you.
Good! Just to correct a small mistake, you should say leung dim saam sap fan😊
@@5minutecantonese thank you. I will learn more from your videos . your videos are very helpful.
You are most welcome
With great teaching you also have great sense of humour 1:16😂
😅🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for these lessons, they're very helpful for beginners like me. Is saam1 dim baat3 3:40 or 2:40? Your clock says 2:40 but the text says 3:40
Hi! Haha... It's 3:40, I am sorry! should move the hand lower instead of pointing it exactly on 3😅
When you say 2 dollars, would you use Yi6 or Leung5? Since dollars is a quantifier/noun. I've heard both!
We use loeng5 😆
Thanks!
3:32 it is like in hakka dialect ,use "Liong" instead of "Nyi"😀
Please increase lessons 😊🙏🙏
I will try😊
So informal way or spoken way is "而家三點八" ，l am right, miss Amanda?
Yes, you are right
Can you explain why go3 is not used for '3 minutes' but would be used for '3 hours'?
Hi! Basically 90% of the nouns requires measure word. But there are some exceptions, it's especially common for time related nouns. For example, minute, second, day and year. But we use go3 for hour, week and month. This is interesting. I decided to do a video about it. Thanks a lot!
Could you explain ,
yi4 gaa1 sei3 dim2 sap6 means 3:50.
What about 4:10?
Tks❤
Sorry, my finger didn't push the 3 further enough 😅
saam1 dim2 sap6 is 3: 50
So, 4:10 is sei3 dim2 ji6
4:50 is sei3 dim2 sap6
Sorry about the confusion
heloo🙂
why in the last of 2 minutes is leung fan zung ? instead of yi fan zung?
As mentioned in the video, when 2 is before a measure word or a noun. We can only say leung5 instead of ji6😄. Since minute is a measure word, we use leung5, another example is 2 o'clock. It's leung5 dim2. 😊
而家十二點四十三分 and informally 而家十二點八分
Good job!
almost there
informal: 而家12點8
we don't need 分
But it's still very good!
@@5minutecantonese 多謝. I also learned about the difference between 二 and 兩, and how to tell how long something takes in terms of hour and minute (e.g. 四個鐘頭 and 三十五分鐘). And many more from this single video. 💕
There’s another way to say 1:15. You could say yat dim dap sam. I so think you can say yat dim sam because it can be confused with 1:03 or 1:15.
Hi! Thank you for your comment. 😊If it's 1:03, we say yat1 dim2 ling4 saam1 fan1 to avoid the confusion.
lovely cute you are..thanks for teaching..Sir!
you are welcome
But miss amanda how to say It's 3:46 in spoken way in cantonese?
If it's very precise like this one, we'll say in the official way.
@@5minutecantonese you mean like this "而家3點46分" or "而家三點四十六分"?
When we say it, both are the same ji4 gaa1 saam1 dim2 sei3 sap6 luk6 fan1
而家三點三十分鐘
非常好，you can also watch my recent videos for more about time.

@@5minutecantonese 多謝
Have you got WhatsApp messenger???
how to say how long pleases
gei2 coeng4 (how long)
Good day I'm confused with gaa1 did you pronouns it yaa?
Maybe the sound quality was bad as it's my early video. It's gaa1. Sorry about that
Then gaa1 is really pronounce as gaa1 not yaa just to clarify.
yes! gaa1
@@5minutecantonese thank you
Zung tau or only zung, means? 🤔😢
You can either say jat1 go3 zung1 or jat1 go3 zung1 tau4, both of them mean 1 hour.
I keep getting scared by that noise that plays in the middle of the video
Why not say , 2hours yi6 go3 zung1 tau4
Please refer to lesson 5😉
