#Language

I'm a 3rd gen #AmericanBornChinese (#ABC).

Grew up hearing #Cantonese, which is my native #ChineseLanguage, spoken all around me when I was growing up but I was never required to speak Cantonese with others.

So, while I can speak a few words & phrases, I cannot carry on a conversation in Cantonese.

I've dabbled with learning how to speak Cantonese well enough to carry on a normal conversation for some time using books & tapes, which always resulted in failure. in the past.🤷‍♂️

I'm at it again, this time using #GoogleTranslate to help me in the process, which I'm using to learn new words & how words should be pronounced & structured to carry on a conversation.

Hoping to keep at to to gradually build up some fluency that I can practice w/my ABC GF, who knows how to speak a bit more Cantonese than I do.

Wish me luck! 🙏

I saw #KarateKidLegends yesterday, and while it was a little bumpy, I enjoyed the film, even with the bits of fan service. The story didn't go quite where I expected in the first half, but I guess they needed a reason for the rest of the story.

The story is a bit splintered in parts, but it's the performances that make the film worth watching.

I really like #BenWang, who I enjoyed watching in #AmericanBornChinese , and he's very likable and engaging in this role. #KarateKid 1/3
