    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.

    Another great lesson Amanda. Thank you. Could we get maybe a video on stress and relax? “I am stressed” “holidays with family is stressful”. “This vacation is so relaxing” for examples. Just an idea.

    Really appreciate of your effort in making such a great video. I am living in HK, and has been trying to learn to speak Cantonese, but not successful so far.

    Thank you Amanda for this great lesson, i think this new series is a great idea and I enjoy the dialogue examples you give ! Now i'm going to watch 食神 one more time and think whether the abbot is 小器 or not 😁

    小器 is basically "petty", making you pout

      Yes! Thank you very much! This is the best translation.👍🏻 Just in the Cantonese version, it doesn't mean stingy or less important.

    Thanks Amanda!... what is the name of that movie?

    ooh so interesting. Yeah does seem hard to translate. Seems like it means "to hold a grudge" or be "petty".

      This is not easy to translate. We use it very often.

      The word “petty” is an excellent translation of the Cantonese expression “siu2 hei3.” I’m an ABC (American-born Chinese) with parents from Hong Kong.
