    where I'm from in California, the language I'm around is Spanish, mandarin, and some canto. I would like to be able to speak with my boyfriends parents who just speak Cantonese, I really appreciate this video a lot thank you.

    Great timing!! I just moved to a neighborhood in Guangzhou that are a majority Cantonese speakers. I understand Mandarin but most shop keepers don't use Mandarin as their daily language!

    Thank you so much! I've been working on trying to find good starting resources to start learning this language (so I can communicate with my girlfriend's family). This is so good. I finally feel like I have a place to start!

    Thanks Brittany, I am working on my Cantonese currently as I'm planning on moving back to Hong Kong for work.
    Have bookmarked, This is a really great help for where I currently am & also where I plan to be in my learning journey!

    Hi Brittany ! I would like to thank you for your videos that have been very helpful to me :)
    I am a French-born Chinese person and have been watching several cantonese-speaking YT channels, especially yours, and have been taking italki weekly conversational courses for months.
    The work is paying off as my parents are very happy that my cantonese level improved significantly and are happy that they can have better communication with me.
    Keep up the good work !

    @zuozhen4758 3 года назад +1

    Hey Brittany, I used ITALKI just like you did. It’s was my best tool in learning basic Cantonese and Mandarin. Never better than learning a language from a native speaker. Not only that it was so inexpensive. I was able to locate a native Toisan teacher! Wow!

    Hey Great video! Thank you so much.
    I've studied Mandarin for a while and I have trouble finding good modern online at-level resources to keep up and improve my skills. Any ideas? Or maybe what was your process for accumulating these resources? Just googling?

    • @cantobritt
      @cantobritt  3 года назад

      Yeah, google but also reddit have been great resources!

  • @cjwong9367

    Hey Brittany, great video!! Out of curiosity do you have a strong preference for Jyutping over Yale romanization?

    • @cantobritt
      @cantobritt  3 года назад +2

      Thanks! Both are good and worth learning! A lot of good older resources use Yale but a lot of newer ones use Jyutping. Id say they have more in common than apart. Hope that helps!

      Probs to build her brand, so her name is synonymous w Cantonese learning as opposed to just Brittany

    大部分香港人都不懂得粵拼的,我學過粵拼,但覺得粵拼的標準化比不上普通話拼音。
