Wrong Version of Cantonese?!?!--part (2) Wrong Version of Cantonese?!?!--(2) <--continued from part (1) How fortunate am I to have talked with native Cantonese speakers now, rather than 6 months or a year later! My knowledge of Cantonese and its various dialects is very limited. I know that I do not know. I am not saying that 'Collins' is teaching a wrong Cantonese, but only that it and two tutors' version of Cantonese are different. I like the later version, as they somehow seem to me to sound more like those Cantonese I had heard from Hong Kong movies. Just the fact that there is a sizeable group of Canonese speakers in which my tutors are included, however, is meaningful enough for me to learn this 'colloqial Cantonese' and I will eagerly learn it. Having studied Collins style Cantonese would not have been a waste of time. I could use it at least with the authors of Colins and other materials which I have been using, and, of course, with those who have used their materials.^^ I still have a feeling that there is a usage for it beyond those, even as my common sense tells me to give the benefit of the doubt to a good brand name such as Colins, as it is not formed overnight. ..... I am at the base of a mountain. My head is up and my eyes are fixed on the peak. Climbing up without sweats, challenges and efforts would not be fun and fulfilling experience, would it? As I climb up higher, I will begin to see many things I could not see before and confusions such as these will naturally clear up, and one day, I will grin at myself for having heated up my brain over such a silly thing. --Copied from GoldenCloud's personal writing collections.
