Your English is terrible. Please stop speaking.

as a person who speaks mandarin this is scary

Teacher Sophie you are so cool. Are you from Malaysia?

Hi Sophie, Many thanks for your videos... I like the comparison of official and relaxed pronunciation... My wife and stepson both speak casual style, but I want to learn the correct way. I always prefer English to be spoken correctly too, so dislike the casual (sloppy) American pronunciation used so often by many English learners. I have to say that I really struggle learning to speak Cantonese... my memory recall of the sounds and tones is apalling.

How to remember the tones of every cantonese word?

Thank you! I don’t think I’ll ever achieve fluency, i barely can barely manage mandarin, which is what they teach in American schools mostly. But my Dad is from guangzhou and it’d be nice to order yumcha rather than dim sum w him!

the number 8 is missing from the song!

Sis?? Ha no s-iks

Dear Miss Sophie, Thank you so very much for your easily understandable and easily applicable way to learn Cantonese tones. I have watched so many videos on CZcams regarding tones but yours is the best as far as I am concerned. I especially like the fact that you put the tones (numbers) on the musical scale so that we can actually see the difference between, for example, tones 5 and 6. Those are quite tricky for me. I am an English as a Second Language Teacher and as a professional, I must tell you that you are a very good teacher. Again, thank you very much. Most cordially, Barbara

I think correct pronunciation is not harder really,

How come the second and the fifth tones are marked and sung or pronounced exactly the same way?

Song at 3:01

1:01 ey yo, I'm not the only one who hears Tone 4 as being super low flat rather than the usual description of low falling

Fantastic! Thank you, this helped me so much 😊

"lazy pronunciation" is a more precise term.

Your English accent is definitely not Cantonese... I am pretty sure you are from Mainland China instead.

谢谢，讲解的非常好！多谢！

Thank you it makes everything easy now.

多謝
