大家好！ 我叫 Beau, 我係美國人﹐但住喺加拿大13年。我做翻譯員 (法文﹐西班牙文﹐英文) 而家學緊廣東話, 因為我真係好鍾意學語言。逢禮拜一同禮拜三我會教意大利劍術。

我妻子係加拿大人, 我哋有兩隻貓. 佢哋叫小妹同雲, 因為佢好白又多毛。

今年9月我哋會去奧國同瑞士。我妻子冇去過歐洲, 所以佢好興奮。

Note:

Well done Beau. This is awesome! Just a few comments...

  1. 而家學緊廣東話 --> it' better to say that you are "learning" "學緊"Cantonese "now" 而家
  2. 緊 is equivalent to "ing" in English's present tense.
  3. 而家 is the time marker to emphasize "now"
  4. 真係好鍾意 sounds more natural, 係鍾意... something sounds weird
  5. 逢 means "every", since you are doing this activity regularly
  6. 我妻子係加拿大人, 係 is "to be"
  7. 兩隻貓, 隻 is the counter for counting animals.
  8. You can check out my blog post about counters: https://thefluentlab.com/cantonese/lessons/lesson-6-%E4%B8%80%E9%9A%BB%E8%B2%93/
  9. 同 is "and", you can also say "同埋" , I think you got confused that's why you said "又"
  10. 好白又多毛, means "very white, also very hairy", 多毛 literally means "a lot of hair"
  11. 冇去過, never been to. use "過" after the verb in situations like "have you ever..." "I never ..."
  12. 所以, means "therefore"
  13. 奧地利 Austria, 歐洲 Europe

我妻子/老婆 係加拿大人, 我哋有兩隻貓. 佢哋叫小妹同埋雲因為佢好白又多毛。（You can also say:因為佢哋白雪雪又毛鬙鬙 pronounces mou 4 sang 4 sang4）

今年9月我哋會去奧地利同埋瑞士。我妻子冇去咗歐, 咁佢好興奮。（The sentence here looks strange, I think you want to say: My wife haven't travelled Europe before and she was happy. Then you should say:我老婆未去過歐洲，所以佢好開心/興奮）

1. It should be 冇去過 or 未去過 冇 - not 未 - have not 去過 - been to 2. Austria is 奧地利，奧國 probably means Austrian Empire according to Wikipedia :)

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to correct my entry. 1. I was trying to say she hasn’t been to Europe yet. Would I just use 唔 instead of 冇, or is it something else entirely? 2. That’s what I found for Austria in one of the dictionaries I have been using. I may need to find a new one! 😅
