Black Girl Speaks PERFECT CANTONESE in Chinatown, Ordering Dim Sum in Cantonese

- I was craving some dim sum, so decided to go into Chinatown to practice my Cantonese. I ordered completely in Cantonese and it was nice to see the waitress so happy that I spoke her mother tongue. Although it was only for a short amount of time, I haven’t spoken Mandarin in a while, so it was nice to use that too.

Language is the ultimate entrance card to experience people, country and culture. It is great to see people open up once they learn that you speak their language.
好欣賞Grace會主動嘗試用廣東話同其他人交流！呢種學習語言嘅態度好值得我哋去學習👍💕
Grace好叻女！❤️❤️❤️同陌生人講廣東話真係一個好大嘅挑戰 So proud of you🔥
Thank you Ayuk🥺❤️❤️
入冬啦不如再打多次邊爐🤣🤣
@@Guresu You speak Cantonese with a very distinct Hong Kong accent; I especially like that very much!
I really like your response by saying “crazy” when you ate sth delicious, this is really very “Hong Kong” style!
笑死 ^^
Her body language and facial expression is totally like a Hong Konger 😂
癡線呀...真係好好食🤣🤣🤣
真叻女！繼續努力！
It's one thing to just be able to speak cantonese, but you've also gotten the mannerisms, tones, quips, and the "personality" of the language down. Amazing job! And the fact that you've only studied for 5 years makes it even more incredible!
Grace, I’m a Canadian born guy who’s parents are from HK. All of my friends/gfs are white. I grew up speaking Canto but I’m unable to read/write Chinese. I wish I learned growing up, but alas…
I just want to tell you that I’m proud of you. I get that learning another language in our adult years is next to impossible, but along with other UA-camrs (rip Moses), your impressive passion to learn Canto is out of this world amazing!
Daps to you for keeping your mind open and envoloping yourself in another culture. So many people are extremely proud of you my dear. Never stop ok?
继续努力继续加油！
Ayee these are fun to watch :) the waitress is so happy
The elderly Chinese man didn’t bat an eyelash while talking to a cute young black girl conversing in Cantonese like it was an every day occurrence! So cool!
As a Cantonese-speaking Malaysian Chinese, I'm so so super proud of you to have learnt & keep on preserving the Cantonese language existence as number of Cantonese speakers around the world is shrinking especially in Guangzhou province. I'm not worried about HK as Cantonese is a compulsory dialect if you wanna live there. Hope you have a nice trip to HK & Shenzhen/Guangdong soon!
Your Cantonese is really good. You even speak better than my daughter who was born in US. I speak Cantonese to her and she speaks Cantonese and English back to me. So proud of you as you learned it from online without any teacher. You like boba milk tea. You know all Hong Kong stuffs. When you go to Hong Kong, people will be surprised when they hear you speak Cantonese.
Cantonese is one of the major southern dialects that has preserved the ancient Hanyu expressions & pronunciations.
The oral reading in Cantonese of Tang & Song Dynasty poems show that the ending words of each line rhyme perfectly in each verse ( according to their formulas ).
However, such is not the case in Putonghua ( or Mandarin ), the designated national spoken language after the 1911 revolution.
In 1500s N Chinese greatly changed
pronunciation from older style,when it used to sound similar to
today s SE and Central East dialects,
except Xiang of Hunan, which followed
N sound changes.
N ers
1) dropped k p t glottal stop m syllable end consonants
2) invented and added new syllable.start
consonants, like xi, ji, qi, sh, zh. ch, etc.
They also developed new vowels, like
chi to eat, si private, de, to get, etc.
Guresu, the Cantonese you speak is very good, and the waiters in the restaurant are also touched by your Cantonese. Their praise of you is obviously from the heart, because your performance makes them feel like they are with friends!
Living in Germany I also enjoy learning Cantonese by myself online. With Mandarin taking over everywhere, it is good to see other young people who support Cantonese. Thanks for your videos!
Hi Grace, Kudos in continuing speaking Cantonese. That Waitress is a Gem, Super Nice and Loves her Job! Nice to see you so happy, therefore stay Healthy.
Your Cantonese is really sufficient for daily life in Hong Kong.
Wow! The fact that you can also speak mandarin too, it's very impressive!! Very inspiring!
These types of "surprising people with my language skills" videos are my guilty pleasure
Hello from Hong Kong!!!! I feel so proud of you that you can speak Cantonese fluently. 真係好犀利呀 講到流利嘅廣東話👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I will definitely share your video on my social media and keep it up Grace!!! Looking forward to your next video 😍😍😍😍
I'm a Hong Konger and I am so happy seeing how you love and speak Cantonese. You are doing so great!!!
I have never met anyone who learned Cantonese (HK cantonese variant to be specific) this fast and well in 5 years. You might be a world record. Is there a Guinese world record category for this?
I can't believe you're in high school! Wow you've been learning for so long! Grace, your personality is so infectious and your will and discipline to learn languages is inspiring and amazing. Keep it up!
Greeting from Canada, as a Hong Konger I'll say your Cantonese is spot on by self learning for 5 years. Very impressive. Recommend you to watch some HK movies and listen to Canton pop songs, I'm sure you'll improve your Cantonese more.
Hi I am from Liverpool but ethnically Hong Kong Chinese that can speak Cantonese. I always wanted to say that you are amazing for learning this very difficult language. You are so talented with your language and I feel like you can go so much further than you already are. Keep up the good work.
If you ever come up to the North, I would be happy to meet you too! 加油
Thank you!
Your Cantonese is pretty GOOD.
On the scale of 1 to 10 > 9 !!
And you speak it without an accent.
Amazing that you really learn it ONLINE !!
Hats off to you and love watching your video to keep Cantonese language going. I am a native Cantonese speaker from HK and sometimes I also wonder how a foreigner is able to master this super difficult language. I have got British born Chinese friends who hardly speak good Cantonese. But you master it, again, hats off and keep it up 加油，香港加油too
Thanks for learning Hongkongers' mother tongue Cantonese! Cantonese may seem to be merely a dialect in Chinese language but the more you know, the more you will find it's so vibrant and creative. I'm feeling so touched a foreigner like you made so much effort to speak so fluently almost like a local Hongkonger! 加油!
Awesome video. I’m British born Chinese, and only learnt to speak a very butchered version of Cantonese. Watching your videos has given me a bit more hope that maybe it’s not too late for me to finally improve my grasp of the language 🙂
To learn new languages is so awesome. Congrats, Miss.
Grace, congratulations to your oral proficiency in Cantonese !!! Extremely impressive !!!
To me, your spoken Cantonese is readily comprehensible. You are a gifted non native speaker who has great control in distinguishing the 9 tones in Cantonese.
How & where have you learned it? Can you read & write Chinese?
I'm grateful that you are helping keeping the Cantonese language alive! Thank you!
Hi Grace, watching you from the U.S. in California. I LOVE LOVE LOVE your infectious enthusiasm. You are the sweetest young lady ever. Your Cantonese is top notch and I enjoy watching you speak. I am rooting for you, always. You speak way better than my own kids who are Chinese and have been brought up in a household speaking Cantonese to them all of their lives. My son is now 20 and my daughter is 15 years old. They don't even speaking nearly as well as you (because they refuse to learn). There is NO REASON AT ALL for you to be nervous nor shy. You have LOTS & LOTS of fans who are rooting for you. You did an awesome job at the restaurant and I hope you enjoyed your meal. I love your smile. You bring a smile to my heart! Much love from the U.S.!
You are absolutely amazing, you learned Cantonese online which is not easy. I am glad that everyone treated you nicely. I enjoy watching your video because of your sun shine smile and good character. Cheers, take care and see you in China town one day.
the second gentleman recommended the "legendary" Wong Kei!!!!! haha, "upstairs! upstairs!" amazing cantonese by the way! Keep it up!
I am impressed you speak so well in Cantonese!!!
Wow Guresu, you are so smart to be able to use Cantonese to have a conversation and to order food.
You've acheived this skill by learning online!! 👍 Amazing!!
How did you get so good, I'm a British Chinese and speak Cantonese but your Cantonese is better than mine and you can speak Mandarin too? **Mind blown**
Hi Grace, your Cantonese is AMAZING! However, I noticed one little thing at the end of the video. For 500,000, it is not like five hundred thousand in English. We don't say 五百千, but we say 五十萬 in Chinese. 一萬 is ten thousand, so five hundred thousand would be 五十萬. But overall, I think you did a great job! I can't wait to see more videos like this!
I noticed why Asians have hard time with counting zeros 🤦♀️🤔🥳
Agreed on the correction. But it's quite common for overseas chinese in Malaysia / Singapore to use 百千 for 100k.
係呀，我知道馬來西亞既廣東話使用者 都幾流行去講百千，好小事
Some oversea Chinese in the UK also say 五百千 :D
新加坡人叫十千，百千 跟隨洋人叫，星，马，一带都係咁叫
It is great to hear you here
Whoa, you're only in 中学! You really have a gift of learning!
love listening to you speak canto!
Grace, I am from America and you speak better Cantonese then a lot of Chinese here... Lol... Great job... Keep speaking it or you will lose it... That's true with chinese
Instantly subscribed! Cantonese is one of the hardest languages to learn. Much harder than mandarin that seems so popular nowadays.
Another comment of praise from a local: I played you to my girlfriend and she exclaimed, "She's good!"
I'm still learning, and you are definitely ahead in vocab, and probably in the grammar side of things. (Hard to tell from simple interactions).
Where I am really impressed though and hope to get to the same standard, is in how quick you are to hear-understand-respond. For me, there is still a few seconds where I parse what I've heard and then laboriously construct a reply!
Don't be nervous. Your Cantonese is AMAZING!
I'm originally from Hong Kong and Cantonese is my first language. Your Cantonese is very clear and understandable. Many people including myself have thought of Cantonese as a dialect BUT this is not true. Cantonese is a Language with different sentence structure and written differently than Mandarin. There's a minor correction that I would like to point out, when you said you "finished eating", the words are correct but the etiquette is to say "I am full (我吃饱了)". I learned this from my parents who corrected me many time 🤣, "finish eating" means that you are dead therefore finished. I hope this helps. It's great to see non natives learn my language. Keep it up!
Your Cantonese has improved a lot! Appreciate your compassion in learning Cantonese and our cultures ! 加油！
Hi Grace, I saw your first video of visiting a restaurant before, this time you are so amazing! How come your Cantonese speaking improved so so ....... so much!
I think many young people may inspired or encouraged by you that nothing is impossible, only learning and trying with heart!
I salute you! 👍🏻
Your language skills are amazing, Grace...I hope some good things will happen for you!㊗️🏡
As a HK native, u r one of the best , I literally turn off cc and watch ur vid
You talk Cantonese so smoothly. I like you to speak more. Keep learning it. A long way to go. Go on.
Honestly your canto is so good, way better than my younger brother. I can understand you perfectly.
It's a difficult language to learn so give yourself some credit!
Cantonese and Mandarin so good ! Respect !
YOUR CANTONESE AND MANDARIN ARE AWESOME. YOU ARE THE BEST TO ME MY FRIEND....🙂
She is pretty good! I am impressed.
many say that Cantonese is one of the hardest language to learn but you're able to speak it soo fluently while it isn't your first language. Hope you can visit hk soon, I'm sure most hkers would be impressed!!
Grace你好！我係香港人！🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰
好鐘意你個Channel…📺📺📺
好鐘意你拍嘅片！👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
好欣賞你！💯💯💯
支持你呀！💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
haha loved it, I like how you tried making longer sentences to use more cantonese as opposed to how you would naturally talk in english but translated. BTW you wouldn't say five hundred thousand, but fifty ten thousand(man).
Grace, your language talent is unbelievable.
Hi Grace, love your positive attitude and your courage. You rock, wish the young people nowadays have the same life aspect like yours. No matter where you go, you will succeed.
wow.. man ....u rock your Cantonese is getting better and better. i am serious. you are speaking fluently, better than a year ago. you are talking with confidence too. :)
I'm impressed! Cantonese is not easy to learn. But you did it
The nine tones of Cantonese sounds near to perfect !!
Grace like your Cantonese. I understand every single words. Good job.
Wow.. really impressive. I can understand every single word of Mandarin and Cantonese you said. You will really like China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan if you have the chance to visit. The people will really like you and they will be impressed as well. Keep it up. All the best.
Guresu你說的廣東話十分好，食店侍應也因你的廣東話而感動開心，他們對你的讚美明顯也是發自內心，因為你的表現令他們覺得就像和朋友一起！
Damn you have really bright future ahead
People like you make me regret on how I spent my young age, laying too much on the bed haha
Now in my 33, I'm learning Japanese and Mandarin Chinese. Thanks for the inspiration!
Grace, You speak Contonese is more natural than last time you ordered dim sum in the restaurant. That's why the waitress kept talking to you in Cantonese. BTW, she spoke Contonese super fast and you still understood it, really impressive.👍👍
Well done Grace for putting yourself out there and interviewing strangers! The man who suggested Wong Kei was funny, he's right though, the restaurant is infamous for being the cheapest but also the worst customer service hahaha. Glad you enjoyed the food!
Cantonese is so difficult for learning but you can speak it clearly and smoothness, also you just learn it by yourself , oh,,,,,,I've no word, you really really awesome and clever. respect.
自從我媽得了糖尿病之後，我都好耐未去飲茶，茶樓同點心絕對係廣東菜餚得意之作!
加油!!
I’m learning mandarin but you’re an inspiration.
Grace don't learn mandarin.
