detour Posted February 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2021 There are quite a lot of Cantonese songs which are cover versions of popular Japanese and English songs in the 80s and perhaps early 90s. Some examples: (1) Markita vs Sandy Lam (2) Koji Kikkawa vs Leslie Cheung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feedersmiracle Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask, but might need help with learning cantonese, and maybe a playlist of the more popular 80s or 90s canto songs. reason: volunteering with elderly who are showing signs of dementia. Have one beneficiary mostly speaking Cantonese and like listening to Cantonese songs. detour 1 Quote Speaking loudly, suffers softly.

detour Posted March 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 Hey. No worries. This is for a good cause A few questions pls: 1. Can you understand Cantonese? 2. Does the beneficiary understand Mandarin? Let me know how I can help. 3. How old is the beneficiary? This would be useful for me to compile the playlist.

Given his age, I think a big majority of the Cantopop songs from the mid 80s to 90s would not resonate much with him. My sense is that they would be too "modern" for him. Would instead suggest the more traditional and super classic Cantopop songs - below is a great playlist that you may use. If you find Mandarin hard to learn, Cantonese would be 10 times more challenging because of its tonal system. SOS. I also don't know how to teach you. You can PM me and we shall see how it goes. steppenwolf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracks #11 & #12 are evergreens & will be a good start, almost every Cantonese, both young and old will know these tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
