PRLDynasty424 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2020 I am sort of interested in learning Cantonese. Anyone have any good resources from it? I know it is less useful of a language than say Mandarin, but idk I find the culture and tones of the language fascinating and almost more colorful than Mandarin. Any native Cantonese speakers here, and thoughts on learning it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PerpetualChange 238 Report post Posted December 14, 2020 I picked up a little bit in Hong Kong when I lived there. I've thought about making more of a dedicated effort to learn myself. It might be far less useful than Mandarin but was such a tiny region I would say it has a much more abundant world of media such as good films and music that you could get into than PR China or even Taiwan.
