我在研究中文詞表時，起初參考了中國的HSK（當時我也做過相關研究），現在則是使用更新的台灣華語八千詞詞表，這些資料來自台灣的全球華文網。列出了詞量和程度.
When I was researching the Chinese vocabulary list, I first referred to China’s HSK (I also did related research at the time), and now I use the updated Taiwanese Chinese vocabulary list of 8,000 words. This information comes from https://tocfl.edu.tw/index.php/exam/download#googtrans(zh-tw|en)
Taiwan’s Global Chinese Network. Listed the number of vocabulary and the level all A1 to C1 level.
我認為這個詞表具有很高的參考價值，因為中文和廣東話有許多相同的詞彙。這些詞表是由專家精心挑選的，考量了詞彙的「常用度」和「易學性」。
I think this vocabulary list has a high reference value because Chinese and Cantonese have many identical words. These word lists are carefully selected by experts, taking into account the vocabulary’s “common usage” and “ease of learning.”
我們應該持開放的態度來理解詞表的優點，並試著將其應用於廣東話教學。對於廣東話教學，我們需要謹慎地應用這些詞彙，因為語言之間的差異還是存在的。但是，這個詞表可以作為一個起點，幫助教學者更好地規劃教學內容。但需要注意的是，在網上有許多廣東話詞頻表，但經我了解後發現，這些表往往只包含一些容易學習的字，並且具有一定的限制。
We should be open-minded to understand the advantages of word lists and try to apply them in Cantonese teaching. For Cantonese teaching, we need to apply these words carefully because differences between languages still exist. However, this vocabulary list can be used as a starting point to help teachers better plan teaching content. But it should be noted that there are many Cantonese word frequency tables on the Internet, but after understanding them, I found that these tables often only contain some easy-to-learn words and have certain restrictions.
