It includes various aspects, e.g. current affairs, language skills in both Chinese and English, daily life matters and sense of humor.
Firstly, I would like
to introduce the blog owner to you.
Some clues for you:
He is an
Indian-American,
BUT he can speak fluent Cantonese.
BUT he can speak fluent Cantonese.
GUESS WHO?
He is Michael
Chugani, in Chinese 褚簡寧.
His Chinese name is
a transliteration in a natural way.
It is because though
the surname 褚 is rare in Hong Kong,
but with the first name 簡寧,
it can neutralize the weirdness of a transliterated Chinese name.
He was born and
raised in Hong Kong.
He can only speak
Cantonese but cannot read Chinese.
After introducing
the blog owner, let’s move on to the content of Chugani’s blog.
The blog is called “又中又英”.
It doesn't have an official English name, so I translated it
into “Chinese but also English”.
The blog is worth
learning because it contains so much information.
The most important thing is that IT IS BILINGUAL!!
You can learn Chinese
and English at the same time while you read his blog posts.
The blog posts are
mostly related to the current affairs especially in Hong Kong.
Chugani talks a lot of sarcasm towards Hong Kong Government.
Apart from the
plain, “boring” text in the blog, Chugani is teaching English on YouTube with Chip
Tsao.(陶傑)
Here is a video clip of their channel. (which I think is
interesting.)
(Just 2 minutes, please watch it!)
p.s. the subtitles are sometimes wrong.
Chugani and Tsao used casual and humorous way to teach English.
They aimed at the weaknesses of Hong Kong people and tried to help improving it.
Moreover, they sometimes discuss about the cultural differences between Hong Kong people and
I hope everyone enjoy this channel and learn from them :D
I really enjoyed watching Tsao's video because I think he is talented and the things he said hit the nail on the head!
ReplyDeleteChugani is one of my favorite journalist because of his Fluent Cantonese and English. Also, because of his beautiful criticisms. Reading his articles is really useful for improving English and knowing deeper about politic issues.
