  • 笑談港式英語 Hong Kong English
    Sep 15 2025

    〔粵〕港式英語豐富多變,融會了中英文的語言背景及在地文化的特色。港式英語往往被視為非正宗英語,但近年Kongish冒起,成為香港文化身份的一部分,而有別於傳統上的Chinglish和港式英語。本集讓我們笑談港式英語具活力的一面。

    [Cantonese] Hong Kong-style English is a dynamic ‘dialect’ steeped in both Cantonese and English language cultures. Although Hong Kong English has long been criticised as improper, Kongish (as opposed to Chinglish and Hong Kong English) has emerged as an integral part of Hong Kong culture. This episode explores the funny and vibrant side of Hong Kong English.
