我真係香港人呀…今次呢條片我聽得明呀… 😅

You really sounds like how the majority of Hong Kong people talk!!!! but not the exaggerated one on other KZread channel, thank you for your detailed breakdown, this is definitely helpful for improving my accent

Honglish is a kind of English language which we unnaturally speak all the time. Sometimes, we find it so funny to speak in this way and didn't feel anything wrong. But we need to level up our English speaking and sound more native if we need to communicate with foreigners.

今次聽得最清晰易明😂

This is a great video. It helped me to understand how my English sounds like and it's very interesting. Will be great if you can make another one for Australian accent!

Just Love it ! Thank you for making this video ❤️

Right on! I fink the "no linking" & "stress many syllables" points are key! 😂👍 Can't help laughing, thanks teacher, great work!

Wah, I've lived in HK for 29 years and have long been flummoxed by the accent - I've wanted to be able to learn it and produce it, but I never could. Now I have some insight into how it's formed. No linking! Stressing more words! This is genius-level gold. This is one of our intangible heritages.

Tiffany you are spot on! Honglish is quite harsh sounding generally compared to English spoken by Europeans. I wondered if it’s the result of having Cantonese as the mother tongue! We can also identify mainlanders from Hong Kongers by the way they pronounce the “th” , “v”, “n” sounds!

Suuuper job Tiff! Hong Kong forever yeaaaa!!

Thanks Tiff

WOW, like it! 😁

My supervisor from work is from Hong Kong and she totally speaks like this. I knew something is a bit off with the way she speaks but I could never pinpoint what it is exactly. When she mispronounces words, she always tells us about how her husband would tease her about her accent. I think I have gotten used to it. It's kinna cute to be honest :D

Love this accent so much

Tiffany, your HK English is really fine. Some English teachers in HK have no idea how bad their HK English is and have the guts to teach conversational English, thus, ruining hundreds and thousands of the young children and that a shame. My niece and nephew in HK tried to talk to my American born kids in Honglish and my kids said it sounds a little off but they have no problems understanding my niece because I have a HK accent although my English was mostly taught by Canadian nuns. But I am not sure if my American born grandkids will understand Honglish, I wish they do.

終於聽得明喇

Haha, interesting! I am from Hk la so I am very understand what are you talking law!

Very interesting seeing how Cantonese and British English uniquely come together like this in Hong Kong. Would be interesting to have it compared to other Cantonese/English speaking urban centers like Macau or Guangzhou.

very interesting.tiffany

I am studying in form 5 in a English mediated secondary school and my brother is studying in form 1 . I speak in a relatively native accent because all my classes are taught in English and i have to prepare for the oral examination and my brother’s English classes mainly teach grammar and fundamental english, and he speaks in a relatively Hong Kong English accent. But I think I rather speak like a native but my brother is proud of his accent. He does not think speaking Konglish is a problem, maybe he still doesn't need to worry about the dse. Btw, love ur video so much

"I am not from China" Omg...you made me laugh lol

I observed that some Hong Kong people have accustomed to add the sound lol at end of a sentence since we introduced the family assistants from the Philippines.

This is interesting

This is so hilarious! I’m from hk by the way

I couldn't stop laughing. But that was really how we were taught in school back then.

I luf this wideo

This is exactly the accent of my primary school's English teacher haha dang

That is interesting - the hard S - so as would sound like 'ass' and 'these' sound like 'thees' The 'linking' you mention and the F for 'th' are both characteristic of many south east England accents also.

Thank you very much for providing this video. I’m now staying Hong Kong and sometimes I couldn’t understand what Hong Kong people say in English. This video really help me. I would like to getting used to it. Could tell me a channel you introduce at the beginning in the video? You might have said something Lok?

Traditional English DOES use "S" not "zee" Brilliant video. It is perfect.

A great great film before Hongkong fall 😭😭😭😭

Normally when i speak English ,i always say Thai style English and put "krub" (male) , if u r the female you wanna put (ka) at the end of sentence,for example what do you want (krub)or (ka)?

Can you put a video out to talk about how to move away from this accent? This’s something I’ve been struggling with

On the surface, it is quite right what hk english is. If you want to learn more, except for practising mispronunciation which should never be encouraged, you could (1) emphasize the correctness in grammar always, (2) think of the entire sentence in your mind but never on your feet, (3) stop using idioms but show off hard vocabularies in a way that your audience have to keep looking them up in a dictionary

But what if i want a free table? do i say "teeboh fo free fo free"?

You need to know that there are lots of Cantonese speakers Mainland Chinese. Cantonese is from Canton, not Hong Kong. Thus it is not inappropriate to represent Hong Kong in Cantonese and then Mainland China in Mandarin.

You do speak with a very heavy Hong Kong accent wor! It's a joke. Hongkongers say or write wor and la just for fun and are clever enough to tell it's not real English. To be fair, some Hongkongers with higher level of English speak English more fluently and don't speak with so many 'efforts'. But most of what you said is true. Haha.

I want to thumb up, but it is just at 666. So I did not do that.

Personally I think learning English is a very serious matter. Some people learned English as something to do, some people learn it because the job requires. some learn it to show off. What I cannot stand is that people speaking English in phrases and broken sentences, not a complete thoughts which is what you hear on Jade Channel another Hong Kong media. As long as Hong Kong people speak Cantonese with the lazy accent, they will have a hard time with the accurate English pronunciation.I don't know how many times I heard the name Nancy and pronounce Lancey. I am a little bit critical about English because I have studied English for over 30 years and I did a lot of technical writing in my career as an engineer. I understand the Hong Kong accent is very hard to lose and I went through all the difficult hurdles that most learners have experienced. In order to be a good English speaker I have tried to minimize and eliminate that Hong Kong accent but I still catch myself every now and then. That's why I made that comment.
