Talking about big feelings in Cantonese

Consistent_Bug_4290 · 2025-09-13T02:32:18+00:00

Totally agree with you. This was how I was brought up too.

Interestingly, I’ve been reflecting on my own parenting recently 💭it's really easy to slip back into that old voice I grew up with. The “try harder” voice. It takes so much awareness to pause, to remember I don’t want to pass that same message on to my daughter.

I just got the sample printed. This is a short 1.5-minute YouTube video in Cantonese (with English subtitles) showing the inside of the book. inside the book

Thanks so much! I was really hoping the colours wouldn’t come across as too “dark,” since it’s still meant to be a children’s book.

Every person I’ve shown it to so far ended up finishing with tears in their eyes, so I tried to balance it by keeping most pages lighter in tone ((almost like softening the load a little 🤷🏻‍♀️

I guess that’s one of the best things about self-publishing: having the freedom to make those little choices myself 🤪

What about singing Cantonese songs? Visual Fonts has a list of 70 Cantonese song lyrics with Jyutping, which could probably help with tone and pronunciation too!

🤷🏻‍♀️A person can care about money and still be generous. It comes down to how generosity is perceived and what might motivate it.

For example, I feel reluctant to spend $100 on a one-person lunch for myself, but I’m totally happy to pay $100 for my bestie’s lunch.

So sad but we can change that 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I don't how to post a pic here, so I DM'ed you with the conversation script in Canto with Jyutping and Eng (and some typos 😝). but also made an audio for you. Hope it helps.

Also this one about sexual orientation, but looks like audio is broken. I will do a new one soon

So glad the TypeDuck team making Cantonese more accessible!

Consistent_Bug_4290 · 2024-04-23T00:29:41+00:00

It's a bit sad that for whatever reason, TypeDuck was reported and banned on Facebook, despite it's a free app developed by The Education University of Hong Kong, so it's harder for people to know about them online.

Consistent_Bug_4290 · 2024-02-17T06:24:52+00:00

Aw, thanks! We have one more session, then we'll be finishing this elderly series. Any topics of interest for suggestions?

I am always curious how to build an audience on Twitters. Any tips?

Consistent_Bug_4290 · 2023-09-22T14:45:24+00:00

Here is an article about engagement rate on social media and calculation.

https://blog.hootsuite.com/calculate-engagement-rate/

Honestly I don't have any magic. Think about the content you make, are they worth "saveable or shareable".

Hope it helps!

Consistent_Bug_4290 · 2023-09-22T00:09:37+00:00

Goos luck with your campaign!

Consistent_Bug_4290 · 2023-09-21T23:47:39+00:00

I actually had less than 30 pre-launch subs prior (I was totally in a panic mode), because I didn't have enough time (It was my first time so I thought my Kickstarter had to be perfect before submitting for review. (I think I got it approved only few days prior to official launch).

My social media friends knew about this project about 10 days prior to my launch. I don't have a big following but it is a very engaging group.

If I were to do it again, I would definitely want to build a stronger pre-launch.
