Cantonese learners- McDull

[rose~]

A very funny clip of McDull for Cantonese learners! See if you understand it...

I love the sound of the "la" or "lo" when the doctor says [pop=common/pǔtōng]普通[/pop][pop=ailment/bìng]病[/pop]囉 and the other "a" and "la" sounds. Actually the doctor has a nice voice, I think.

watch

What on earth is [pop=拜拜/bàibài]拜拜[/pop][pop=meat/ròu]肉[/pop]?!

Sorry for offtopic, Rose. How do you post the characters with popups? There was a discussion here somewhere but I couldn't find it.

拜拜肉 is the muscle on the arm that waves when you wave goodbye (thus bye-bye). Fairly unsightly. haha.

And the doctor's voice belongs to 黃秋生 if I am not mistaken.

rose, if you are interested in Cantonese and McDull, you may also be interested in this programme which has both and much more -> 春田花花中華博物館

OMG, thanks so much! It's amazing how the Internet makes so much possible. In my day we had the old version of Practical Chinese Reader (with the oddly-named Gubo and Palanka) and notepad and pencil

Rather bizarrely, the website seems to be inacessible here but I got the player to open anyhow.

Atitarev, there is an option for pop-ups on the left of the screen when you are writing a post, it says, adsotate.

Still laughing at [pop=excess fat under arms/bàibàiròu]拜拜肉[/pop]...
