so in my last video for like a couple
weeks ago I said I was the Lord
Cantonese in like two months what's up
well other than my brain basically
resembling like a theme Sun platter now
with your Casio ball and your hot go
pretty great I mean I've been literally
spending all my free time in it and and
it's been working I can say really cool
and useful things whoa ha leghul up a
hug away oh my god what the his engine
don't I seen that so if you need to get
good at a language fast I'm here to help
you do that so the first part of
learning any language is making an
immersion environment otherwise known as
all Cantonese all the time now we're
working on a pretty tight schedule here
which means remember how you used to
read all that stuff in English gone your
English is now Cantonese and better yet
your silence is now Cantonese basically
any time you're not doing anything
important like taking a shower
working running try to be listening to
some audio continuously in your second
language now you don't even need to pay
attention and after the point is not for
you to pay attention the point is for
you to gradually pick up the sounds of
this strange or an exotic tongue and
actually you'll be amazed by how much
you end up picking up subconsciously now
we require this unlimited free audio in
Cantonese well it's called the radio a
lot of US cities actually have Cantonese
and Mandarin stations now yeah I know
it's 2016 and all but actually having a
physical radio is actually really really
useful because you can just have it
sitting on your desk and just turn on
whenever you want right it's just always
there it's constant audio in the
background all the time it's like 25
bucks buy on Amazon you're welcome
so all you'll need to do is turn on tune
in and drop out
now if you don't have a local radio
station nearby where you can listen to
you know Cantonese in the actual radio
this is a really cool website called
tune in that lets you search for online
radio streams by location so you go to
new comm click this by location over
here you know click under continent Asia
and you can kind of scroll down to any
of these countries and you see you've
got Hongkong right up here so you can
click on Hong Kong and then basically
like stream any radio station we want
but for me the thing that I prefer is
actually going to the website of the
radio in question so if you go to RTHK
RTHK HK um boom right here you've got
you know you've got your Hong Kong radio
um and you can you know if this thing
actually loads you know you'll be able
to to click on any one of these these
programmes of here and just pop up this
little player and yeah basically just
get like live radio from Hong Kong and
you can of course you know this examples
for Cantonese in Hong Kong but you can
do this exact same thing and you know in
whatever language you want to kind of
set up this immersion environment on
your computer
so just remember always try and be doing
things in Cantonese or your target
language now does this mean I can't have
fun no it doesn't mean that just try and
do it in Cantonese use it TV or movie
and none of this is to say do it without
English subs either you know if you
can't understand it you're just gonna
get bored and end up like watching Game
of Thrones instead and if you're
watching Game of Thrones you lose you've
lost the Battle of Cantonese now some
people get very extreme with this and
say you need to kind of close yourself
off from your family and friends in
order to study your target language but
that's nonsense all you really need to
do is whenever you are going to do
something with them just try and
incorporate aspects of your target
language into into the fun you're having
with them right so if you know it's
family movie night and you guys are
going to sit down and watch Lord of the
Rings
why not flip on Jet Li's fist of legend
instead guide your immersion environment
set up awesome because now we're going
to have to go and study the language in
assist
maduk efficient way that's called
sentence money what the heck is that
don't worry I'll explain in the next
video so please subscribe and I'll see
you in a couple weeks
