Popup Cantonese — Basic: Critical Adjectives #3

from Popup Cantonese

Stories of the time you pantomimed the "iceman dance" at the Kowloon Star ferry terminal are still being told in bars throughout the New Territories. So while we know people speak quickly in Hong Kong, this is a lesson on preserving dignity. In it, we'll teach you how to get people to calm down and speak more slowly, without the need for theatrics.In our third Critical Adjectives lesson we cover all the Cantonese you need to get the frenetic citizens of Hong Kong to slow down and speak at a more comprehensible speed. We'll teach you how to say fast, slow and busy, and cover some high frequency sentences containing these adjectives. And as a bonus, we'll also cover the basics of asking questions with adjectives. Much like scientific experiments which slow the speed of light, this podcast traps the Cantonese language in a form suitable for study and reflection. We hope you like it.navigate re-incarnated Popup Chinese archives, including the original customized word-to-word transcripts for this and every other lesson as PDF files:Reincarnated Popup Cantonese — Popup Cantonese — Popup CantoneseReincarnated Popup Chinese — Popup Chinese — Popup ChineseReincarnated Popup Chinese shows — Popup Chinese shows — Popup Chinese shows
