An easy song for young children and beginner learners, , teaching a simple phrase of how to say Hello in Cantonese.
This song is in the code-switching tradition of Hong Kongers, mixing English and Cantonese easily in one sentence.
Enjoy the song on YouTube here. (Please note the subtitles are in Simplified Chinese – it was the only animated video I found.)
