Hey!

As we are now in December, I want to do a quick episode on how we celebrate in Hong Kong. This is also inspired by my Grandma because we had a funny argument over Advent calendar (I will tell the story in the next HK Dispatch episode). I even wrote a story about it haha.

I also want to say the free episode updates might be paused for a bit this month because of busy work life and other stuff. I also need to ensure I keep producing HK Dispatch for those who are interested so...yeah, was a difficult decision :/

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
