VIDEO SUMMARY
I was born and raised in Canada, where I grew up as a Chinese-Canadian. A mix of two cultures—just like Hong Kong. A city influenced by the east and the west. Throughout my entire life, I dreamt of traveling to Hong Kong. Asian/Hong Kong/Cantonese culture was a big part of my childhood. After 21 years of being in Canada, I left North America for the very first time to visit the motherland for one week.

It is hard to find people that try to retain Cantonese while growing up in a foreign country. Keep up the good work! Speaking Cantonese is more than just a language but an appreciation of your own culture.

I am a American born Chinese, family from HK. I regret not practicing and learning Cantonese when I was a kid. I continue to speak more cantonese as much as I can and watch HK movies and TVB dramas to learn more. I highly suggest keep speaking and don't give up speaking Cantonese. You will appreciate it.
-
As an ABC HongKonger who lives in NYC this is very eye opening. i have never seen this type of video before. thank you.
-
Honestly it feels weird i understand cantonese very well but when it comes to speaking in cantonese my mind is BLANK, i can't even find a word in cantonese to express myself ... Sigh
-
Amazing footage Jensen, great representation of Hong Kong; and your canto ain't half bad either :)
-
This is really well filmed and entertaining :) keep practicing your canto!
-
Although I’m not Asian, I can relate to your struggle between two cultures and losing your native language. I grew up in a white American culture socially but a Cuban culture at home and spending so much time at school and elsewhere I slowly started used my Spanish less and eventually it became harder for me to speak and I became more shy in my own language. I loved this video because I could relate and gave me hope
-
Tbh it's really amazing for you to realise the importance of your heritage and try your best effort to speak in Cantonese. Your Cantonese is actually very good considering you didn't really grow in an environment with many Chinese-speaking people around you. Wachting your video, I feel like we are all in a one big family no matter where we are currently living right now. I was born and live in Hong Kong now.
-
It's amazing to see more and more Western-Chinese Youtubers. As a Dutch-Chinese myself, it's great to be able to relate. My level of Cantonese is just about the same!
-
You did a great job attempting Cantonese. I admire people who have an interest in Hong Kong culture and Cantonese language. A lot of people may have given up, but it is inspiring to see someone putting an effort to learn and be brave. I am Chinese-American and I do feel similar feelings.
-
I live in Hong Kong and this video was really entertaining!!! It was super cool watching you speaking Cantonese and exploring HK 😂😂
-
When you know two and more languages and losing vocabulary of both byelingual ctto
-
Trust me! Your Cantonese is excellent. I am so glad that you are passionate about learning Cantonese and maintaining our cultures. My kid even doesn't want to speak Cantonese, but Dim Sum.
-
I’m so happy Cantonese can exist and thrive in Hong Kong
-
Great that you’ve been rediscovering your roots. Hong Kong is one of my most favorite places in the world!
-

-
Hong Kong is small but very interesting place with unexpected things
-
