Intermediate Listening 11- students' speech 10- my honeymoon trip

Author: Poetic Cantonese January 10, 2023 Duration: 9:05

This is a speech from Year 2 term 1 class.  Give it a listen and learn some potential new vocabulary.

Year 2 classes are perfect for people who has learned a bit of Cantonese and can perform basic communication while travelling in Hong Kong. We will further build vocabulary to speak about these topics:

- Chinese New Year traditions and turnip cake recipe
- getting to know your colleagues at work
- speaking about your travels and hobbies
- booking a table; ordering food; asking for directions in town
- speaking to relatives to learn more about lives of immigrants
- communicating with minibus drivers & getting boat tickets
- talking about symptoms and comparison between Chinese & western medicine

In year 2, we dived deeper into grammar, lexical variations and colloquial expressions. Combined with 12 units of listening, vocabulary sets made ready for you on Quizlet, impromptu questions and occasional speech,  my goal is to prepare you to feel comfortable and build confidence using Cantonese if you were to move there.

The idea is straightforward: you start speaking useful phrases immediately, while a structured, seven-year journey guided by spaced repetition principles lays the foundation for genuine fluency. Each episode is a compact, ten-minute session designed to fit into a daily routine, systematically building vocabulary and grammar. The host, who also speaks Mandarin, Spanish, and Italian, brings a learner’s perspective to teaching, focusing on clear pronunciation and practical communication over rote memorization. This isn’t about quick tricks; it’s a commitment to gradual, deep learning where consistency trumps cramming. You’ll hear targeted lessons that build on themselves, revisiting core concepts at optimal intervals to move knowledge from short-term memory to long-term mastery. The tone is encouraging and focused, stripping away the overwhelm often associated with tackling a language like Cantonese. By engaging with this podcast, you’re not just listening to isolated lessons-you’re following a mapped curriculum that values patience and smart repetition, aiming for the confidence to use the language in real conversations from the very beginning all the way to advanced comprehension.
