Next Episode

Bringing Apple Pie to a Hotpot Party Is Okay / Brittany Chan (Cantonese with Brittany) / #50
We are back with another episode talking about Cantonese (language and culture) with our guest. Our guest today is Brittany Chan from Cantonese with Brittany. Brittany is a Canadian content creator living in America focusing on lifestyle, vlog, culture, language food, and good vibes in her content. Brittany and her husband are on a mission to help heritage speakers (and everyone else!) improve their Cantonese with fun, beginner/intermediate level videos. She is doing a great job in promoting Cantonese in the overseas community.
In our conversation, we talked about her childhood, her education, her relationship with Cantonese (language/culture), her experience being Chinese Canadian, her identity and culture, her reason for starting Cantonese with Brittany, what she plans to do with it and the important question, why is Cantonese important to her.
