Thanks for sharing with us your intention! That's very meaningful and I believe your family must really appreciate that! Keep up the good work, and feel free to ask if you have any questions! :)
Sydney Ly don’t feel bad. I can’t teach my kids my native tongue either because they live with their mom. It’s actually a common problem that is an unfortunate side effect of the times we live in. Sad but true. Nice to know people want to know where they come from and who they are, hope my kids do the same when they get older. It would make me proud and it should make you proud as well. Good luck.
I have been dating my girlfriend for about 4 years, I'm trying to learn something to at least be able to follow her parent conversations when I'm at the house and mention my name hahaha
I'm happy to hear that you're learning Cantonese for love! That's so romantic! :) Keep up the good work, and feel free to ask if you have any questions about the language and culture! :)
Hi, I am a 61 year old English man and due to a recent spinal injury I have found myself housebound for a while. I decided to do something different and because I have always loved the Chinese I decided to learn the language. Anyway I found your channel and I absolutely love and understand it. You are a great tutor and in a few hours I have learned plenty. You probably don't do these anymore but I would just like to say a big thank you to you and look forward to the rest of your lessons. (sorry about the long text)
Liked your 'phrases' and could follow very well. I will definitely visit your videos again. I lived 12years in HKG from 1950 to 1963. So different now. Thank you.
Thank you Olivia !!! I watched your videos when I first moved to Hong Kong a year ago and I have used these phrases so much in the year !! I can recognize a lot of words my friends say and impress them with my responses thanks to you. Keep up the great work

I have a question. There are 2 types of "thank you", "唔该" for a service and "多谢" for a gift. How about if someone gives you a compliment? For example if someone says "You are so kind and smart." in Cantonese. Should I reply 唔该or多谢?
