Learn casual Cantonese and Mandarin for conversational purposes with a nod towards healthcare while mixing in everything else. This episode looks at two different words that share a similar meaning, “to block,” but they're not interchangeable. If you got a hankering to learn casual Cantonese and Mandarin for conversational purposes (with a nod towards healthcare but talking pretty much about everything else), this channel has podcasts (with accompanying videos for visual cues) to get you on your way to chit chatting, not in the academic setting, but in your face, irl (based on my past work talking with monolingual Canto and Mando speakers). This episode goes into how you might communicate about being blocked (not talking about bowel movements in this video even though that's relatable). sister video (#19): https://www.youtube.com/user/notnowigottago this podcast (#50): https://soundcloud.com/leslie-frank-643243096 soundtrack: Relax Beat Provided By https://freebeats.io Produced By White Hot

This episode goes into how you tell someone to not move 冇喐/别动, like when you're about to stick a needle into their mouth for some intensive dental work (or say, when you're about to take your mugshot for the dept of motor vehicles), and goes into more “move” words, like if you're trying to get somewhere and someone's in your way, so “move aside” (move it/move your butt) 行開/让开 is also discussed, plus much more in this approximately 3-minute video (for visual cues check out the Mommy Speaks Canto and Mando YouTube channel). sister video (#16): https://www.youtube.com/user/notnowigottago this podcast (#47): https://soundcloud.com/leslie-frank-643243096 soundtrack: Nowhere To Be, Nothing To Do by HoliznaCC0 licensed under a CC0 1.0 Universal License https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/

Learn casual Cantonese and Mandarin for conversational purposes with a nod towards healthcare. This episode goes into how you might convince someone not to fuss or worry about something you say is nothing (whether it's a small scratch or a less-than-superficial gash that you don't want them to get all dramatic over should you need to see a doc). Plus, there's a little talk about the 不/bù 4th tone sandhi (sandhi's help to make the tongue roll smoother when conversing while minding your tones). The Canto part uses traditional characters and jyutping romanization; the Mando part uses simplified characters and pinyin romanization.

We're breaking up the COVID dialogs for learning Cantonese and Mandarin with this side trip into talking about suicide. You won't be hearing about how to kill yourself, or treating such feelings, or endorsing offing yourself; instead you'll hear a casual and frank conversation with someone on the brink of self destruction. While you're still able to, do the research to find good resources, if not for yourself, for someone you wanna help. All the best. sister video: https://youtu.be/3TnvlGDNB-4 soundtrack: “Too Much” by Makaih Beats licensed under CC BY-NC-ND https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/
