Learning Cantonese.
Learning a new language is not easy. I know, I have tried to learn Cantonese on many occasions. The problem that I keep running into is that I cannot differentiate between the six tones. Even when I hear native Chinese people speak at slow speeds, it is still hard to distinguish.
I found this site last night when I was browsing the internet and watching IP Man on DVD. I hope this site will be a productive way to learn the language, since I do not have much free time. Additionally, it is going to be hard to write essays when I can't read the Chinese characters. I guess will have to start making voice recordings to go along with the essays.

So much better. I suggest ordering in Cantonese at a Cantonese restaurant. The waiters will more than happy to correct your tones :)

here are some websites that you can learn Cantonese from. Some of my friends just learn Cantonese a bit from the websites.
the last website actually is a cantonese dictionary, but it's Chinese.I am not sure if it is helping.

Not too bad, at least I can understand what you are saying :) As a native speaker, I too have problems differentiating the subtleties of the 6 or 7 tones the language has!
