When I launched my Cantonese course on DVD (DWD) last Friday, there were mumblings about this “just being the same films as on You Tube” which, quite right, you can access free.
However, the things on YouTube are just a tiny fraction of the DWDs! There are new and thorough explanations for each word and grammar point, step-by-step instructions in how to write Chinese characters and look them up in the dictionary and lots of other stuff.
The You Tube episodes are perhaps 10% of the DWD, if that. So don’t hesitate to buy! Included is a booklet with all the scripts in Chinese, phonetics and English. If that’s not going to catapult you into Cantonese proficiency I don’t know what is.
Where is the link to order your dvds? Will you continue to produce more material? Does this first set offer a good start to learning Cantonese – enough to build upon? Many thanks for any help you can offer!
The link is at Buy Stuff! Or it will be, in a few days. Will try to set up credit card thing this week. The first DVD is a 97 minute extravaganza start to learn Cantonese, I have to say. Only one will catapult you into proficiency. I’m now off to inner China to make DVD number 2, called Cantonese – The Movie 2. (Lessons 6 – 12)
Hope to be able to help you soon!

I am now back in Hong kong and working on second DVD so just contact me here and I’ll bring you everything you need.
Hi Cecilie,
Thanks for the interesting website!
What kind of stuff is included on the DVD/booklet and how is it organised? Is it arranged in lessons suitable for beginners/self-study or is it for people who have some experience?
Thanks!
Oh God! Small wonder nobody buys the DVD – I’ve written that it’s not for sale yet! What a plonker. I’ve updated that page now, if you’d care to go to http://happyjellyfish.com/web/?page_id=34
(Buy Stuff)!
Thanks for reminding me. Thanks a lot.
