    You can speak fluent Cantonese! I am so happy for you~ Just a kind reminder, idioms are not only 成語, but also 慣用語. 成語 is four words ,like people mountain people see(人山人海). But 你做初一 我做十五 and 你都有今日 are more than four words, so they are 慣用語. Keep going to learn Cantonese, support you!!!

    hi grace, 我係一個住o係香港o既香港人, 你真係講得好好!!! 好多人學廣東話講得o岩 d 音都好, 好多時都會錯文法, 但係你連 d 句子結構都o岩晒香港文化, 證明你真係好認真去學, 真係好欣賞你!!!
    (hi grace, i am a hker living in hk, you really speak cantonese so well!!! many people do have learnt the pronounciation of cantonese but might have some grammar mistakes, however you could even get the sentence structure matching with hk style, it showed that you really learnt it with your heart, really appreciate you!!!)
    *** i hope you are able to read my chinese typing (hk style XD), but just in case, so i also typed the english version, "add oil" and support~ 加油!!! ***

    Hi Grace, I saw your video in collaboration with Ayuk for Cantonese English challenge. For 'This morning have alcohol, this morning drunk - 今朝有酒今朝醉', you interpreted it correctly as this Chinese idiom really has such negative underlying meaning which sarcastically implies someone just enjoying the present moment without considering the future or consequence. This is the common interpretation nowadays. You are literally such a genius and will be bees knees in Cantonese/Chinese or anything else you want. Keep going, just Bob's your uncle for learning Cantonese. Ciao.

      You really need to be in a fully Cantonese environment to really improve your language skills. In London, you are in an English environment outside your household which makes it less likely to use Cantonese outside of chinatown.

I'm also learning Dutch so I'm really impressed by your Cantonese and passion, looking forward to experience together language learning & culture!

    for example, 屎坑關公 lit. means Kwan Yu in the toilet refers to you can't neither smell (because of the odour in the toilet, it's pronounced as same as 文 - scholar) nor play with a sword (舞, which is pronounced as same as 武 - martial)
