New words
Still learning the characters, but with transliteration:
neoi = woman
nay hou = hello (you good?)
hoa = good
ap = duck (in China ducks go "ap ap" instead of "quack quack")
Still getting used to the vowel sounds and the fact that a "t" after a vowel is more of a glottal stop than a sound you make with your tongue.
I'm hoping I pick this up quickly. It's a big jump from English. The only other language I've studied thus far is Spanish. Worlds different.

Is this Cantonese 'spelling'?

嘎嘎 (duck "quack") : Pinyin: ga1; Jyutping: gaa1 哞 (cow "moo") : Pinyin: mou1; Jyutping: mau1 咩 (sheep "baa") : Pinyin: mie1; Jyutping: me1 咯咯 (chicken "cluck") : Pinyin: ge1; Jyutping: gaak3
It is always best if you can combine all the forms; accentless Jyutping, Pinyin, Hanzi and accented pinyin jyutping...
