Canto Be Like – Bonus Episode: "Essential Cantonese Numbers Guide"

Hey there! To celebrate hitting a podcast milestone (as of the time of publish we've hit 500 downloads!) I made this number guide just for you :)

Whether you're just starting out or brushing up on your Cantonese, this bonus episode is your friendly guide to mastering numbers in everyday situations. Let’s make counting, telling time, and handling money feel natural—no stress, just practical learning!

What You’ll Learn:

🔹 Counting 1-100 – The right tones so you don’t accidentally say "dead" (四 sei3) instead of "four"
🔹 Prices & Money – How to say amounts smoothly (so you don’t freeze at the market)
🔹 Telling Time – Because it's essential!
🔹 Real-Life Examples – Practice with scenarios like ordering food, shopping, and making plans

Why Listen?

• No textbook fluff – Just what you’d actually say in conversations
• Avoid common mix-ups (like 十 sap6 "ten" vs. 濕 sap1 "wet")
• Feel more confident next time you’re chatting in Cantonese

Put on your headphones, and let’s get comfortable with Cantonese numbers—one step at a time. Happy learning, and see you in the episode!
