TCcookie Posted March 22, 2008 at 04:05 AM Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 at 04:05 AM Recently I have become enamored by the idea of studying Cantonese. I have already been studying Mandarin several years and consider myself upper-intermediate, perhaps bordering on advanced in some areas. I've checked out a few materials on Cantonese to look at, and it has frustrated me that no English-language materials I've found let me capitalize on already (more or less) knowing Mandarin. For example, no books I've found, including dictionaries, print characters, which annoys me to death! I know they're out there. They must be. I have seen some Chinese-language books on Cantonese, but I think I would prefer to use one that uses Yale romanization for Cantonese, if such a thing exists. Anyway, does anyone know some good resources for studying Cantonese that are especially good for those who already know Mandarin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
