Learn casual Cantonese and Mandarin for conversational purposes with a nod towards healthcare. This episode goes into how you might convince someone not to fuss or worry about something you say is nothing (whether it’s a small scratch or a less-than-superficial gash that you don’t want them to get all dramatic over should you need to see a doc). Plus, there’s a little talk about the 不/bù 4th tone sandhi (sandhi’s help to make the tongue roll smoother when conversing while minding your tones). The Canto part uses traditional characters and jyutping romanization; the Mando part uses simplified characters and pinyin romanization. Pardon any errors along the way of life and language.
