My Chinese Language Playlists
Languages aren’t just tools for me.
​
They’re part of my everyday life, my work, and my family.
Alongside my professional Chinese–English translation work, I create educational YouTube content to explain how Chinese languages actually work in an accessible, jargon-free way, as well as fun online Cantonese lessons.
These playlists reflect both my professional expertise and my real-world experience as a language enthusiast and professional.
Chinese Language Explained
Mandarin vs Cantonese, Simplified vs Traditional
Because “Chinese” is never just one thing.
This explainer playlist answers the questions I’m asked constantly – by clients, parents, learners, and curious non-linguists alike.
Topics include:
​
• Mandarin vs Cantonese – what’s actually different?
• Simplified vs Traditional Chinese characters
• How Cantonese is written (and why it’s complicated)
• Spoken vs written Cantonese
• Common myths about “the Chinese language”
These videos are designed to make complex ideas accessible with minimum jagon.
These videos are especially helpful for language professionals, language learners, educators, and anyone working across Chinese–English contexts.
