Join Celia for a Cantonese day out at Horsey Gap Beach on the east coast of England!
After travelling from London, we walk along a sandy path, meet lots of cows, and head towards the sea in search of sea lions. We watch them swimming in the water, wait to see whether they will come ashore, and finally spot several of them relaxing in the sunshine, including a tiny baby.
Through this relaxed episode, you will practise listening to natural Hong Kong Cantonese while learning useful words and expressions about travelling, animals, the beach, and describing what you can see.
Listen for words including 牛 (ngau4; cow), 海灘 (hoi2 taan1; beach), 海獅 (hoi2 si1; sea lion), 上岸 (soeng5 ngon6; come ashore), and 曬太陽 (saai3 taai3 joeng4; bask in the sun).
This episode is ideal for Cantonese learners and heritage learners who want to build confidence with everyday vocabulary and natural listening practice through a simple, relatable story.
Please note that the Jyutping and Cantonese subtitle wording may not correspond word for word. When watching with subtitles, pay close attention to the Cantonese characters.
