Hey people,

I've been debating to talk about the fire in this week's episode but my feelings to voice out got the better of me. It's surely a hugely traumatic event for Hongkongers, especially the victims, residents and frontline staff. This episode is about providing you with a first-hand perspective and perhaps what you can do to help.

Hellooo,

I always find music to be an integral part of culture, so I picked the cantonese songs that I consider culturally significant to introduce to you so that you can have an easier time to understand when they are being referenced.

List of singers:

Leslie Cheung

Anita Mui

Beyond

Jacky Cheung

Faye Wong

Faye Wong's daughter (竇靖童 Leah Dou)

Eason Chan

Hey people,

Last episode on Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung was super well-received so I thought I'd do another episode to introduce some famous HK people to you. This time we look at pop stars Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui and their beautiful sibling-like bond, and the end of a glorious era of HK pop culture.

Hey people,

I had an idea to teach you cantonese and culture through life stories of famous people. Since recently CBL is focusing on the Cantonese Cinema, I figured I'd pick two actor/ actress I'm obsessed with-- Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung, leads in my favourite movie In the Mood For Love.

Hey fam,

I finally got to doing the most requested episode: language learning tips. I speak 4 languages, and every time I start learning a new one I always do something called grammar mapping, namely reviewing the grammatical structure of the target language.

Watch this YouTube video for more tips

Hi guys! My grandma was in hospital this week (don't worry she is fine and at home now) and it really prompted me to do this episode to help other people in similar situations to navigate the care and medical system in HK better. Using my grandma's situation I will walk you through what would happen in case your loved one is sadly hospitalised in HK.
