Very interesting discussion. I grew up in Hong Kong but went to a British school before eventually back in Australia. I still remember my English teacher said when I was primary 1, 'If you want to learn English properly, don't try to translate Cantonese into English'. That advice is extremely useful for life, especially when I later learnt French, Mandarin and Japanese. There are certain things that you cannot simply translate across languages, not just simply because of their syntactic structures, but the deep semantics that rooted in the culture itself.

For example Cantonese culture is not a very lovey duffy kind of culture. Cantonese speakers are mostly pragmatists and very practical. From a young age our elder generation taught us not to express our feelings publicly or it could get us disadvantaged in the adult world. And hence, saying, 'I love you' simply is not a thing. You can say 'I like you' or 'I need you' easily, but 'I love you' simply is not in the bone marrow of Cantonese culture. I still remember once of the first things in Drama School was being asked 'Why are you Cantonese speakers look the exactly same when you like or dislike someone?' Took me some time to put down this cultural burden for acting.

This kind of cultural difference would simply make translation across languages very difficult when these cultures do not share the same cultural similarities in certain concepts or ideas. Another example is the Eskimos has seven words for snow based on their appearance, texture etc. but in Chinese or English it is just snow, as we do not need to figure out what to do under what situation or condition of snow.

I have just started a channel teaching Cantonese in a systematic manner. As I just started it, so still figuring how to make it interesting, while standard and easy to pick up. As I am doing everything by myself while learning how to edit videos, it could look amateurish. If you guys can give me some feedback that would be great 😀
