It’s a shame they failed to speak proper English despite that they had been under British rule for 200 over years, frequently using Cantonese instead of English could be the cause

The male YouTuber doesn’t even know how to pronounce the word “easy” correctly, he said ee-see, which is a common Honglish pronunciation

Last time when I studied in Australia, I noticed schoolmates from HK were very quiet and never asked questions in the class, now I know why.

Better but not by much. Hkies have other edge over us. No need to emphasize on this one particular aspect.

When I studied there I had 2 hk female school mates with similar course modules with me.  Quiet but very lazy.  And pretty.

They almost always used their feminine wiles to leech onto assessment assignments by those msian and angmoh students.  Never sinkies dunno why.

Think they still passed (barely) in the end because their assignment grades pulled them up but exams all failed
