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 KZfaq 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.

Hey Amanda, your lessons are very helpful. Thank you! On the other hand, could you please add Cantonese lessons (English) to one playlist? That way it will automatically load from lessons 5-6, 6-7, and so on. I understand Cantonese but I couldn't speak very well, I always play your lessons while I'm working. Without the playlist, when your videos end It will jump to other Cantonese videos instead of continuing your video. Hope this gives you a better idea! Thank you again!

Hi Amanda, I commented previously in another lesson, I have a suggestion if I may. Your lessons and your teaching method are great, and very effective. Continue with them as you're doing now, make that the first and main part of the lesson, some new vocabulary, a new grammar structure, etc. Then I think it would be good to add a short dialog for the topic to round off the lesson, no more than 3-5 short sentences. The dialog should be in Cantonese only, no English. This would 1. reinforce the lesson, 2, something for the student to memorize and/or shadowing. These short and basic dialogs for 5-10 minutes a day, I find then to be very effective for me as I absorb other languages naturally, so as I said, it's just a friendly suggestion to make your lessons even better. Thanks for your efforts, keep up the good work.

Hi Amanda! I’d like to understand why 3:15 is “Saam dim saam”, but 2:40 you said as “saam dim baat”? Shouldn’t it be “Leung dim baat” following the logic? Or am I missing some grammar rules? Also the same for 3:50 - you’ve said as “sei dim sap”, instead of “saam dim sap”. Looking forward for your reply. Thanks

Can you explain why go3 is not used for '3 minutes' but would be used for '3 hours'?

@5minutecantonese 3 жыл бұрын

Hi! Basically 90% of the nouns requires measure word. But there are some exceptions, it's especially common for time related nouns. For example, minute, second, day and year. But we use go3 for hour, week and month. This is interesting. I decided to do a video about it. Thanks a lot!

@5minutecantonese 2 жыл бұрын

As mentioned in the video, when 2 is before a measure word or a noun. We can only say leung5 instead of ji6😄. Since minute is a measure word, we use leung5, another example is 2 o'clock. It's leung5 dim2. 😊

There’s another way to say 1:15. You could say yat dim dap sam. I so think you can say yat dim sam because it can be confused with 1:03 or 1:15.

Hi! Thank you for your comment. 😊If it's 1:03, we say yat1 dim2 ling4 saam1 fan1 to avoid the confusion.
