    我现在在看着一部巴西电视剧。我觉得故事很有意思。

    现在在 is present tense of the continuous action or situation. I noticed there is an alternative way to express this, which is "正在" construction (progressive aspect) followed by the verb + 着. You have written this perfectly and also used a classifier to identify the noun. 

     

    In English, I guess we have a short from of saying things quickly. So 现在 + 看一部巴西电视剧 is perfectly fine, as you omitting a construction of 正在 and 着.  In addition, 我现在正在看着一部巴西电视剧 is also grammatical okay.

     

    The previous corrections are okay, but of course, this is for writing. If you wish to say it in speaking, then there'll be several adjustments needed to be made. Overall, your Chinese level is pretty good already, and it looks like you have put a lot of thought into understanding it too.

     

    Good job!

    That's great David! If you want to have a 5-10 min quick chat on Skype, let me know. I am interested in your Cantonese pronunication regardless it's not as high as you expected to be yet. If you are interested, just private message me your Skype. I think I can help you one way or another. 

     

    I know others are learning Cantonese and resources are difficult to hard or produce. I don't blame them either, even I have struggles.

    Cantonese or English group

    I cannot teach Cantonese, but I am checking if anyone interested in learning Cantonese or English?

     

    If so, please comment below and proficiency.  I am curious how many in the community are still interested, because there has been previous discussion but I am new member here so thought I'd re-ask the same old question and who is still online on italki.

     

    English is my native language. Thank youuuuu!

     

    Have a happy and wonderful Mid-autumn festival for those who plan to celebrate this and for those who don't have a wonderful sunday dinner!! :D
