Improving by watching TVB Series
Posted by 馬先生 under Cantonese
I’ve forced myself to watch hours upon hours of TVB series each day recently. The current series I’ve been watching is (酒店風雲 Zau2 Dim3 Fung1 Wan4). The English title doesn’t translate to the Chinese title but it is “Revolving Door of Vengeance”.
Once I finish watching the entire set, I’ll watch it again. I keep an Online Dictionary by my side to learn new vocabulary as its spoken. I’m quite fluent in Jyutping romanisation, so its quite easy for me to look up definitions quickly. At the moment I can understand about 30-40% of what’s being said overall.
I hope this % improves gradually with watching more series, listening to dialogues, reviewing vocabulary and communicating with natives on a daily basis.

hi!
I’ve been looking for the canto version of this drama forever!! i searched up the title on google, and i saw your entry. Is it okay if you told me where exactly are you watching it? or are you not watching it on the internet?

Hi Vivian. I rented the DVDs from a Chinese VCD/DVD shop.
