Hi Everyone. My name is Rich and I am learning Cantonese and Mandarin. My background is Chinese and I come from Australia. I am learning Mandarin for business purposes and Cantonese for fun and interest. My goal is to be able to go to China and converse with people in either Cantonese or Mandarin in a social or business setting. Thank you for reading and have a nice day!

    I did attempt to learn both at the same time in the past. However, if you are a beginner of both languages, it can be confusing. You will find that even though there are some similarities in characters and sound, it will not be enough for them to complement each other. Also, you will tend to favour one language over another and the other language gets weaker and weaker. Better to concentrate on one and be devoted to that language. Richard

    You can find some good resources on the internet to learn Cantonese. There are some websites that are dedicated to learning Cantonese. If you prefer textbooks then do a search for the Greenwood Press publications which are based in HK and specialise in Cantonese language tuition. The books are affordable and useful as they contain audio, transcripts and lots of new words.

     

    If you want to learn Cantonese however, the main recipe is passion and dedication. If you do not maintain these then it will be difficult to learn Cantonese or any language. You should start off with self-study and not waste money on courses or tuition. When you reach a sufficient level you can utilise a tutor on this website or simply converse and exchange languages with the many people that speak Cantonese on this website.

    How should we deal with the problem of marriage?

    I want to marry with him so that we can get to know each other better. Sometimes I feel him he will never marry to mine me. How do I to change now?
    My good friend had been just got married in the last month, I wished to be her and I envied her. My other good friend is planning to get married in the next month that makes me not content within my heart. The problem of getting married was has been bothering with me for a long time.

    ===============

    Try not to look at getting married as such. "Married" is the result. Try to focus on the process which is the "relationship" and then perhaps one day the result of "marriage" may occur.

    Am I a good student or ?

    Every Saturday and Sunday i have class but i never attend. So today i went to class. So many classmates were very surprised when they saw me in class. I felt a little ashamed. To be honest, i dont like the weekend class. Today, i didnt skip class, however i was quiet in class. So am I a bad student?

     

    Note: As the saying goes, "the first step is often the hardest". Keep going to class and try to get something out of it each time.

    A short trip to Busan and GyeongJu

    I will be going on a short trip to Busan and GyeongJu this weekend for a few days. I want to try my little Korean of limited vocabulary and skills as far as I can as I am too shy to speak Korean in Hong Kong. I think I would only dare useing Korean unless I am forced to:/
    I am still not being able to communicate in full sentences. Compared to last year, I feel that I have progressed a bit somewhat, as least to the extent of ordering simple food, ordering and being able to identify some shop signs, road signs, place names etc. I hope everything goes smooth even without Chinese or English translation, and hope that we could have some good luck to and see maple leaves.

     

    Note: Overall great passage and keep up the use of complex English words in you vocabulary.

    I use this website to look up words: http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/dictionary/ and I use this input method (recognises Jyutping, Yale, Sidney Lau) on my PC which recognises spoken Cantonese characters: http://cpime.hk/

    Where is my sunshine?

    During these days, life is terrible. I am not a kid any more but I think I am still doing things that a kid would do. This feeling is terrible. Sometimes I ask myself what do I really want to do in the future. What can I do in the future? Where is my ambition? My goal? Every time I think of these things I feel terrible. Life is never easy, I know. In this world I know that money talks ...
