Thank you very much r/Cantonese, the knowledge you share is worth more than fine gold!

Last year I was using ChatGPT and others for practicing Cantonese. But now when I ask ALL the AI's I can find, they are responding in Mandarin,

even when I explicitly ask them for SPOKEN cantonese in traditional text form.

I can't access Deepseek due to the waiting list; perhaps that works for you?

One of the most popular cantonese caracteres in Japanese media is former police officer turned Triad Boss Mr. Chang from the series Black Lagoon created by mangaka Rei Hiroe

His fullname is revealed to be Chang Wai San and was obviously inspired by the character "Mark Lee" from A Better Tomorrow as portrayed by Chow Yun Fat but some argue his name is not really realistic

Is this true?

Hello so i have talking to this cantonese guy and i want to give him some chinglish witty jokes. Give me jokes that are not offensive please.

Parents have always said o be be but some people don’t get it, what’s the right way to say it? How do you write o bè bè?

Just so you know, I find r/Cantonese to be my second home when discussing my favourite dialect/language, so I'll ask the question here.

Does anyone know the alternate versions of 1-10 in Chinese characters?

Thanks!

Does it work similarly to Mandarin? For example, is 1011 一千零一十一?

I heard that there are some minor differences with Mandarin, but I couldn't find any resources online.

In many western languages terms of endearment existe of many types but it seems thats not really the case in the Sinosphere world

Is this true? 🤔

I just started learning Cantonese. I speak fluent Chinese but I am finding ngo and wo. Who speaks what?

Do you even understand my question.

Hi there!

I'm currently learning Cantonese and have been working on my tones. I've practiced for a while, but I'm still not sure if I'm doing my tones or pronouncing Cantonese syllables correctly. I would really appreciate your feedback!

Is there anyone willing to participate in becoming my feedback partner for giving me feedback on whether my pronunciation, or tones understandable or not. Please do DM me, i won't ask for much other than sending you audio files of me speaking Cantonese and listen and let me know if I'm getting them right and Any advice or tips for improvement would be greatly appreciated. I would bother you for feedback weekly or monthly basis, basically whenever I feel unsure about myself in Cantonese on my pronunciation and tones. I came here to learn Cantonese because i have never spoken a tonal language before and so curious to know how it feels like, And also, if someone knows any online groups that provides feedback for Cantonese. Please do DM me.

Hi everyone. I love Cantonese and traditional Chinese writing. I am looking for a free online platform or materials to learn Cantonese on my own.

Edit: In my country, Vietnam specifically, there are many Chinese language centers. However, most of them teach Mandarin, and only a few teach Cantonese, but in simplified Chinese. I visited Hong Kong last year to find some self-learning books and materials, but I couldn't find any. So sad :(

Looking forward to your help.

All data below are per 2021 Census

1. Hurstville (Sydney): 5,040 (1,128 born in Hong Kong)
2. Doncaster East (Melbourne): 4,187 (1,525 born in Hong Kong)
3. Carlingford (Sydney): 3,704 (1,376 born in Hong Kong)
4. Epping (Sydney): 3,583 (1,598 born in Hong Kong)
5. Glen Waverley (Melbourne): 3,430 (1,075 born in Hong Kong)
6. Chatswood (Sydney): 3,143 (1,415 born in Hong Kong)
7. Eastwood (Sydney): 2,717 (842 born in Hong Kong)
8. Doncaster (Melbourne): 2,645 (891 born in Hong Kong)
9. Auburn (Sydney): 2,411 (221 born in Hong Kong)
10. Campsie (Sydney): 2,255 (284 born in Hong Kong)

Hurstville seems very interesting as it has the largest Canto population in Australia but not Hong Kong births indicating Cantos in Hurstville tends to be Guangdong rather than Hong Kong. I assume the numbers Campsie and Auburn tends to be from Guangdong and Chinese Vietnamese given they are working class suburbs. Northern Sydney Cantos tends to hail more from Hong Kong.

Melbourne seems also to tell something, Manningham area which includes Doncaster and Doncaster East have much larger contingent of Cantonese speakers and Hongkongers compared to Whitehorse and Monash area despite the latter two containing Box Hill (not included in the Top 10 which I assume is due to being a smaller suburb) and Glen Waverley respectively which are the two well-known Chinese Suburban Centres in Melbourne.

Melbourne also has a large contingent of Cantonese Speakers that tend to hail from Malaysia (Chinese Malaysians).

Recently I went down the AD rabbit hole and then I remembered I use to also love listening to cantonese horror stories on the radio too.

Is there any cantonese audio drama that someone can recommend me? Prefer eldritch horror, mystery/detective.

Also looking for a retelling of 三國演義 (because I want to know about this story that gets referenced a bit). I searched it on spotify and found one but...it sounds like he's reciting a poem and I couldn't get into it.
