    That explanation of tones was absolutely amazing!! I wasn’t able to make sense of any of the tones until now! I studied at Hong Kong Polytechnic University for 4 months and I was so discouraged by the way people taught the tones. Explaining it with relation to English sounds contextualizes everything really well. Amazing thank youuuuu

      Same here. It's still difficult to pronounce such similar sounding tones and remembering them, ..but this video is the best thing around for learning them. Thanks, Ms Ng!

    I come from Vietnam and think Cantonese tones are easy to me because my language already has 6 tones. But when I decided to learn Cantonese, it confused me with tons of teaching videos until I found this one. Thank you so much!

    I’ve been learning Mandarin for 3.5 years, Japanese for 1.5 years, and I’m just starting to dive into Cantonese as my third Asian language. Thanks so much for your detailed breakdown! I just subscribed! 多谢! 👍

  • @r_s_n
    @r_s_n Před 2 lety +2

    Wow I’ve watched like 10 videos and this one finally made tones feel accessible to me. I loved it! What a logical and easy way of explaining. Don’t be fooled by those 2 minute videos out there. This one is worth your time.

  • @PancakeRecipezzz
    @PancakeRecipezzz Před 4 lety +47

    OH MY GOD I just want to say THANK YOU! You made it SOOOO easy to understand! I could not pronounce a single word for the life of me, but now I actually think I have a chance!
    I see online that 4 is lower than 6, then how come when you taught "Canada" you made it seem like 6 is lower?
    Edit: just said some words to my Cantonese friend (Enping) and she understood all of them!!! Before this I couldn't get her to understand a single word. I'd say "hai" 500 times until she'd say "that one was similar enough" but now I said it once and she understood right away! Same with many more words!

    • @sasino
      @sasino Před rokem

      I'm confused to as to which is lower between 4 and 6, but it seems that it doesn't matter, the thing I found is that 4 drops in pitch, while 6 is flat

    You have given an absolutely understandable and amazing explanation. I am an English teacher and I can say that you have made this very difficult topic very understandable. Thank you SO much for this. Tones are what discourages beginners when learning Cantonese. You did an EXCELLENT job in teaching us about the tones and the rules for using them. Thank you VERY much, Teacher!!!!

    explaining it in terms of relativity helped a lot.
    I would always stress if I was using "3" or "6", but in that context it doesnt really matter as long as its somewhat lower than 1.

  • @fioulcontact
    @fioulcontact Před 5 měsíci

  • @DC-oy3gk
    @DC-oy3gk Před 4 lety +13

    Oh my gosh! You made learning Cantonese tones easier! thank you!! They say Cantonese is hard because it's got friggin 6 tones, and it initially deterred me from learning. Now, I've got the confidence to learn more!
    Stay safe and healthy during this pandemic. I have relatives in HK too.

    • @sasino
      @sasino Před rokem

      Tones is the kinda easy part for me, now learning all the words is the hard part 😭
      I'm already studying Mandarin so I can't just go back and start to study all the words again

  • @LuisGarciaMusicMaker
    @LuisGarciaMusicMaker Před 3 lety +2

    This is one of the best lessons about Cantonese tones you can find on internet by far. Explanation about common use in daily conversations makes me feel in confort about what I thought for logic, that some things depend on the context and even native can confuse some subtle stuff, as it happens any language. Thank you for the lesson!

    Damn I just killed my mandarin throat trying to say the tones, but your Cantonese teaching is awesome! I downloaded Cantonese learning apps to help with my career but they just put some tones there without even explaining what the tones were so I came to your channel. Helped me a lot. Throughout the video I was saying: This Lady is awesome!

  • @saddasish
    @saddasish Před 2 lety +3

    As a heritage speaker of Cantonese, of all the videos that teach the tones of Cantonese, I can honestly say this video is among one of the best out there for a beginner. I understand how stressful mastering all 6 tones would be. I haven't even mastered it myself even, and that's completely ok because you really don't need all six to make yourself understandable. And just being able to make yourself understandable when speaking Cantonese is all that matters, perfect pronunciation is only best reserved for professional purposes. Just learning the four general tones as described in the video is sufficient. Only know the high tone (1), the mid tone (3), the rising tone (2/5), and low tone (4/6) and you'll be set and I doubt anyone will judge you for not being able to tell the difference between tones 2 and 5 as an example. Additionally, you can also decide to group tone 6 together with tone 3 (since technically tone 6 is between tones 3 and 4), because many HKers pronounce tone 6 syllables the same way as tone 3. I personally group tones 6 and 4 together. That being said, if you're able to easily pick out the true tone 6 or the difference between tones 2 and 5 (2: low to high, 5: low to mid), that's awesome! But don't feel pressured to have to learn the minute differences just because most other resources tell you to learn all 6.

    • @charmedcharmed3511
      @charmedcharmed3511 Před 2 lety

      As a few of the comments indicate, and I agree fervently, Ms Ng's pronunciation of Cantonese is not up to the standard of teaching others. I suggest checking out "Cantonese Corner", created by an American who's lived in HK for 30+ years. Her pronunciation is much cleaner even though she's American.
