Hey Chris, will you be going to Macau (澳門街) next? Would be interesting to see you guys interacting with the locals there, speaking Chinese and Portuguese!

Hey Chris, If you want to improve your Cantonese through watching HK films; I would strongly recommend that you watch ANY of the movies or filmworks directed or produced by Wai Ka-Fai (韋家輝). Ask ANYBODY who has lived in Hong Kong for at least 20+ years, and they will certainly know who Wai Ka-Fai is. I would compare him to very famous American directors like Oliver Stone or Sam Peckinpah; people who grew up in times of GREAT social distress, filled with all sorts of conflicts and turmoil... Things they have witnessed happen like WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War, ect. 死人, 冧樓, 撞機, 沉船, 炒車... Just lots and lots of people in trouble or dying everywhere! With exposure to all kinds of '蘇州屎' (Suzhou Shit) like that, it would surely have heavily influenced the themes in their movies and films. There is an old TVB drama called '義不容情 Looking Back in Anger (1989)'. It is very old, but it's still VERY POPULAR and many Cantonese-speaking people know about it. It's one of the most watched TVB series by Chinese people in Hong Kong and around the world. It reflects upon the old pre-1997 culture and society of Hong Kong and its people; involving events, situations, social interactions, and pop-culture references that simply CANNOT be recreated in modern times today. You can learn quite a bit about authentic Hong Kong history and culture from that show. There are some very intense moments and bloody feuds/conflicts with the characters involved. Trust me, you will want to pull your hair out after you watch it! This is because of the vast amount of 社會見識 (social knowledge) that you will gain after watching it, and not just from learning Cantonese. Trust me, you will learn ALOT. I first saw it on VCD format like many years ago, from a friend who used to run a videostore in New York Chinatown. Back then, it was only available in Cantonese/Manadarin audio with traditional Chinese subtitles. I had ZERO knowledge of Chinese back then, but my friends FORCED me to watch it because they said it will help me learn more about Chinese culture. It took me a LONG TIME, like FOREVER to finally figure out what the hell they were saying, but I eventually figured it out after watching it over and over again like multiple times over the years. With 50 episodes, it was ALOT to take in and digest for a non-Cantonese speaker! And coming from an Italian-American who grew up in New York, I am quite proud to have watched it myself during my own lifetime. You can probably find the episodes here somewhere on KZfaq, so be sure to check it out!

Love it!

Based on the wife's reaction at second visit, he went straight home and told her to "Shut Up". LOL. Chris, your Cantonese is sounding really good! I am an ABC who speaks Cantonese. My pronunciation is on point (according to a HK cab driver) but my vocabulary is more limited so ordering at Dim Sum is my jam.

@@eeldude Greetings from New York! Just spend more time in Cantonese tea houses, gossiping with those uncles and aunties (ah soks & ah saams). You will learn alot and very fast!

leave me alone … stop talking…

shut up 😂

Really?? It's been so long since I spoke Cantonese hahah. But here trying!

Yeah your canto is not bad considering. Would love to see more videos of it. And that parking garage area in SF chinatown brings back tons of memories from childhood. Parents would park there for our shopping trips.

@@LaomaChris Not everyone from Guangdong can speak Cantonese , but your Cantonese is pretty good compared with people who aren't the Cantonese mother language speaks.👍👍

Try to forget the Beijing accent while you speaking to Cantonese. Or forget your mandarin too. You’ll see other world.😊

@@friendsgroup123 Ironically, more people in Vietnam and Malaysia can speak Cantonese than Guangdong! 🤔

Appreciate it Jay! It was really cool to see this little enclave where a lot of people didn't even really speak much standard Cantonese or Mandarin. But everyone was super helpful, and it's clear that they really help each other out

@@LaomaChris Your honest and sincere attitude says everything about you, Chris!

主要是，老马说得慢，发音没有很大问题，所以你能慢慢理解。广东人讲粤语的语速肯定比老马快很多

hahaha it's tough! I wish i had more Canto speakers around me here in the DC area

@@LaomaChris Yes, Cantonese is very tough. My daughter says it's because of the tones, much like Mandarin. But you've mastered Mandarin so I'm very sure your Cantonese will be just as good. I'm quite sure there are many Cantonese around. It's just that they won't speak in Cantonese unless they hear you speaking it first. Because you are a foreigner, they don't expect you to speak Mandarin, much less Cantonese! I love watching their reactions when you speak to the Chinese in Mandarin. And then they start talking to you so warmly😊 I'm Cantonese and I'm trying to learn Taishanese. Super tough. My late Grandma spoke it and so does my Dad and his siblings. Strange thing is they don't speak to any of the kids so none of us can speak Taishanese. I can understand them but I can only speak the very basic like greetings.

Hahah that actually happened a bunch of times throughout the shoot

Did his daughter speak any Cantonese?

Good most KL Chinese converse in Cantonese besides mandarin, English and Malay and other Chinese dialects as well so you should be able to learn fast here.

No need to compare. You can compliment his Cantonese without bringing another KZfaqr down (and yes, Ik who you’re talking about).

its crazy how we know who youre talking about 😆 we too into this

😂🎉

Are you referring to the guy that couldnt understand or speak Canto, yet seems to "shock" ppl w/his perfectly spoken language? That guy? Just wondering if we are referring to the same person.🤔.

@@Heoi_Bikuni88 xiaoma ?

不是不是，只是脸皮厚而已

Yeargh, small cozy place located downstairs in the basement... Nice tasty HK/Cantonese-style home cookin'. I remember going there when I was in SF. Have you also been to Ling Nam Siu Koon?

在打架还是礼让东西

@@Ding_You 禮讓東西

😅😅🤣

I'm planning on being in the south Bay soon! Any locations where a lot of Chinese people hang out like this park?

@@LaomaChris Of course，Welcome！For me，cities like Cupertino，Milpitas or Fremont all have a big Chinese community. I will give you a list of address as your options. 😄

That would be awesome! I'm gonna be filming in that area in a few days.

@@LaomaChris cool

Scam calls?

都不算很粗鲁，不过意思有一点点微妙的区别，前者强调 别说话 ，后者含有一种 麻烦你走开 那种意思 总的来讲，应该是leave me along让人感觉舒服一点，别人听了会往 无奈 委屈 那方面联想，dont talk to me别人会想你是不是生他气

不可能，他们只是有方言口音而已，老马完全就是北方人说广东话

@@fengBen-lp2dg 但我觉得他的粤语发音比视频里大部分的人都好，（我是母语粤语的广州人)

旧金山好多台山人吧。

@@AngelLWJ 你怕不是個假廣州人，他發音是還可以，但要你說比這裡面的還好，就有點搞笑了

@@hayashi174 里面噶其他人大多数都有其他口音，唔系纯正粤语发音，我唔知你点睇得出我系假广州人？😂
