This journal will be in Chinglish! Feel free to comment with any corrections or ways to more naturally say something so we can all improve our Cantonese~!!


Ngo5 hai6 wan1 go1 waa4 ceot1 sai3.

I was born in Vancouver.

There aren't a lot of Black people in Vancouver.


So1 ji3 ngo5 hai2 tong4 jan4 do1 ge3 dei6 fong6 go2 si4 (pei3 jyu4 tong4 jan4 gaai6 ), daai6 gaa1 tai2 ngo5 m4 suk6 jyu1 go2 dou6.

So, when I go to Chinese centred spaces (for ex, Chinatown) everyone tends to look at me like I don't belong there.


Jau5 di1 tong4 jan4 wui5 waa2 ngo5 "nei5 m4 hou2 zoeng6 tong4 jan4".

There are some Chinese folks who say to me, "You don't look Chinese".


But they're wrong, because not every Chinese person looks the same

Mui5 tong4 jan4 m4 hai6 jat1 jeong6!
