1. How to say in cantonese suggestion
2. Hello, i notice cantonese have 6 main tones but the 4th tone you saying is a low rising tone but other cantonese speakers say tone 5 is the low rising tone. This is very confusing if try to learn cantonese. Can you explain why this happen please? Thank you.
3. Hey are you located in Hong Kong? Do you do tutoring?
4. Can you do a segment about acting and emotions?
5. Who do you say Lay (for "you") instead of Nay ????
6. Thank you for teaching Cantonese. Most Cantonese lessons is for beginners and very few lessons for intermediate or advanced. But you are the best for intermediate.
   I have one questions: Why do you pronounce "L" for N words. Example: Computer is "Din No", but you say "Din Lo". You do that with other N words as well. Why??

8. I like the topics of the videos, but going through all the tones per word is way overdone. I think it's great to do that in your first videos, but after a while it's too much :)
9. Thank you so much for this video! Now, I'll ready to go to a bank in Hong Kong to exchange my US dollars into Hong Kong dollars for vacation next year!
10. thanks for your vocabulary lessons with pronunciation...very thorough
11. Is there any way you can focus on more conversational stuff? You are the best Cantonese channel on Youtube by far but sometimes your lessons are very advanced, not the type of stuff the average Westerner would talk to the Chinese parents in law about!
12. Thank you so much for this helpful video!
