Can i just, like, choose to be illiterate??? xDDD I'll just use Hakka characters

Hi sis. I don't think it's that hard so far, but I can only form small sentences

Just landed on this, love it.

I am studying Mandarin. So these tones make sense to me. But I know when I start to study GuangDong hua in three or so years, once my Mandarin is better, I will have problems discerning 2 and 5.

Why you don’t make any more tiktok

I think it’s dig gold not tangerines

it is different dialects not languages

1 - Sí 😃 2 - Sí 😠 3 - Sí 😐 4 - Sí 😒 5 - see 👀 6 - see 😒

Good to know youngsters taking initiative to learn Hakka..

Hou…

Awesome to hear another person speak my toishan!! I was born in SF,Ca in the 1950's, so my parents spoke it. I could speak toishan, but grew up at a young age to coummnacate to parents, while speaking English on the outside to others. I'm in my 60's now, and seldom use it, as my parents are gone, still able to speak it on a limited basis .

Nice

wow hakka so hard

I hate cutting the pumpkin skin as it hard so my late mum told me to steam it then the skin can easily peel off

Suriname Hakka, sounds different from Meizhou and indian-subcontinent Hakka

Is jade from taicheng?

My parents are from Hoping and I speak Taishanese, but her dialect is a little difference from mine. However, I learned from other videos that there are 4 dialects of Taishanese.

My guesses as a native Cantonese speaker: 1)我鐘意食蝦餃？ XD 2) 你識唔識講客家話 (你曉唔曉得講客家話) 3）佢最鐘意咩顏色？係紅色 4) (喺條橋隨喺樖樹下便耍木) 5）有隻貓好仲意追老鼠、雀仔(鳥仔)同埋雀仔

My girlfriend speaks Taishanese with her family and especially her grandparents, I'd really like to make the effort to learn. Looking forward to more videos!

Hey I had a question, what accent were you speaking in? I have a hard time finding Taishanese literature that I can understand, and I don't know what accent I grew up with but however I understood yours with much clarity.

What do the numbers at the end represent?

I'm vietnamese and tones 2 and 5 sound virtually the same, equivalent to the vietnamese nặng tone. I repeated listened back and forth and they sounded the same or inconsistent. If you hook it up to a pitch meter the difference would be like half or a quarter of a semitone maybe. Might just be the context

I learned some Cantonese here. Hoi Pingese here

Hi. Just discovered this channel. I'm a CBC. My first languages are Taishan 台山 and Xinhui 新会. Taishan is my mother's dialect and Xinhui is my father's. Depending on which side of the family I spoke to, I switch dialects. As I grew older, I had more of my father's side of the family around, so spoke more Xinhui and less Taishan. Also, my parents sent me to Chinese school where they taught Cantonese. A lot of TV shows and movies I watched with my parents were in Cantonese. I would say I'm most comfortable speaking Xinhui more. When I met my wife, she and her side of the family spoke English very well. In order to show respect for her parents, I do try to speak Cantonese. As I don't speak this dialect much anymore since I stopped going to Chinese school decades ago, I had to really concentrate to speak Cantonese. I do try to speak Cantonese to my in-laws because I found it a great opportunity to speak more Cantonese. Because I mostly speak Xinhui or Taishan, I make some mistakes because I sometimes use the wrong words. For example, rain in Cantonese is 落雨. In Xinhui and Taishan, it's 落水. My literacy is pretty poor. I didn't really used my reading and writing much. Lately, I've been more interested in learning more reading and writing. The main reason is that I am rediscovering the Chinese (mostly Cantonese) songs I used to listen to a lot when I was younger. I had a hard time understanding Chinese songs mainly because my literacy was poor back then. You also lose the tonal quality of the words/characters in songs. I don't think I understood the meaning of much of the Chinese music I used to listen to. The past 5 years or so, I have been rediscovering those Chinese songs. It started when my mother was wanting to listen to her old songs, but she lost all of her old records and CD's when they downsized their home. She asked me to find some songs for her. I found some and found I really enjoyed them. I then looked for other songs that I used to listen to back in the 70's and 80's. With the internet and various translations apps and sites, I was able to look up the lyrics and pronunciations of the songs and tried to translate them. I had to get help from my mother-in-law as my reading was quite poor. I was never able to learn the songs because I had to memorise the sounds only. Now, having the tools to find the pronunciations with Jyutping that I never had back then, I am able to learn how to properly sing a lot of songs. I also understand the meaning of them as well. As I have learned how to sing dozens of songs, it has improved my literacy. I still feel my literacy is poor, but getting better with this exposure to Chinese. I just started watching a few of your videos. It's great you have Chinese subtitles, so it helps improve my reading. I still find there are words and sayings in Cantonese that is still beyond me. I love having the exposure. I wished that I had put more effort in learning Cantonese when I was in Chinese school. I didn't like going as it was another class after regular school and extra homework every day as well. I didn't appreciate learning Cantonese back then. I'm enjoying trying to learn more Cantonese, mainly through learning the Chinese songs I have in my collection.

Love this. My mother's side of my family speaks Taishanese. I mostly speak my dad's dialect which is Xinhui. Interesting to hear this because it sounds a bit different than how my mother speaks it. I certainly recognise it, but some words are a bit challenging to me.

I like her brown skin

my parents speaks taishanese, but i can only understand them and reply them in cantonese lol

One more reason Cantonese is difficult - It's difficult to teach.

Nope not stepping foot in this shithole

You need a person who can speak mandarin, cantonese, hakka, hokkien, teochew together and compare the difference. That will be interesting. Also a bonus, bring in a Korean & Japanese speaker. I bet there's a lot of similarities between non-sinitic languages and sinitic languages.

My personal option...tone 3,5,6 are unnecessary in Cantonese.

Cantonese is definitely sound closer to hakka and taishanese than mandarin. These are southern variant so they shared the same vocabulary which is easy to make it out what they said most of the time

cant nees

I've just been doing 30 min of dulingo a day and in the 1st week I already know 30 words in chinese. I just keep on grinding!!!!

I went to Taiwan once....I LOVE TAIWAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯

Jesus Christ... 3 flat tones? I understand that Vietnamese has 6 tones as well but every tone is "different" and here you have 3 tones, and 2 tones that are the same just different pitch... that's smth completely different. Going from Vietnamese to Chinese I'm guessing can be super easy but THIS is smth different :D Interesting

It's my favourite HK dessert....reminds me of my childhood. Thanks for uploading

Thank you for this. I speak fluent Cantonese but I have no one to speak it to anymore. This has helped me get back to my roots and it's comforting you're my age
