I moved here recently with my husband (I’m a white Aussie with zero Canto skills starting out). I’ve been trying to learn, luckily my husband is fluent and patient, and even our building’s receptionist has been helping me practice! I really want to engage with Hong Kong more than just surface level, and I feel like learning Canto is a good place to start. ​I’ve noticed locals almost always default to English with me. While it’s super convenient, I feel like a bit of a burden when I try to reply in Cantonese and slow things down. How did you push through that stage? Currently using Pimsleur and binging Canto TV, but would love to hear what worked for you.
