Question

Answer

Bonjour, je trouve que la chaîne de "Pierre-François Métayer" est très intéressante. Il est français, et il parle tellement bien le cantonais, comme un natif. Il enseigne les choses utiles. Je peux aussi practiquer avec vous si vous souhaitez. Bon courage !

Answer

Not a free resource but I find Glossika sentences extremely useful: https://ai.glossika.com/.

Answer

If you just want to improve the vebral and listening, you can watch some TVB drama (The biggest tv channel in HK). Some of my friends learn cantonese from it. Song is like a poem, you won't always use the vocabulary in that. Chinese is difficult because there are so many meaning in one or two words. Sure if you really interested in chinese word, you can learn it from song. Also the pronunciation of some words when we are singing actually has little bit different with speaking.

Answer

Youtube is helpful to improve it. I dont know about ur level of Cantonese, assuming that u have already in a intermediate level cuz u just mentioned u have been working with locals in HK. I learn cantonese through songs and cantonese movies. Keywords: cantonese movies with english subtitle on youtube

Answer

For the sake of my own question i found show on Channel 201 of HTKV, Mei Ah Movie Channel with Cantonese audio and English subtitles. Nice!
