      “Chinese” is technically Mandarin - Cantonese is Cantonese, a dialect.

    • @ReportsOnChina
      @ReportsOnChina Před 4 lety +1

      WiseVoltage It’s a different language family from Mandarin, but in official terms it’s classed as a dialect within China. (It depends if you approach the question as a linguist or from a political / cultural standpoint.)

    • @ReportsOnChina
      @ReportsOnChina Před 4 lety +2

      WiseVoltage I haven’t deleted any comments? Sorry, I’m not using the right terms - you can probably tell I’m not commenting from the perspective of a linguist. As you can probably guess, what I mean is that Cantonese is one of the five (?) language families (groups) within the broader definition of Chinese languages. Officially (politically) everything other than Mandarin is considered a dialect, even those that may technically be different languages and not mutually intelligible. Anyway, we agree on the wider point: It’s silly for anyone to say “I speak Chinese,” although it can be SLIGHTLY passable if they mean Standard Chinese which sometimes means Standard Mandarin or 普通话。

    • @ReportsOnChina
      @ReportsOnChina Před 4 lety +1

      Vincent Gogh Yeah exactly! Those spoken by “ethnic minorities” are “technically” protected and allowed to be promoted in some settings, but regional dialects like Shanghainese have no such protections.

    I got inspired to learn Cantonese after meeting a student from my university who speaks it fluently. He gave me a couple of demonstrations of the grammar structures and pronunciations, and I've been intrigued in Cantonese ever since. My second language is Korean and I've been studying it for 2 years now, and now I want to be able to learn and understand Cantonese as well. It's such a cool language 😁

    I'm honestly very grateful for these. I grew up in a Singaporean Cantonese family, but speaking our regional/ancestral languages has been officially discouraged for a long time and my family only ever spoke to me in English and Mandarin because of it, so this feels a bit like coming home.

      If you want to learn Cantonese well, I'd encourage you to learn a Cantonese phonetics system. You can do that by turning on Cantonese phonetics feature from a translation app like Pleco. Yale Cantonese phonetics system is usually the easiest to acquire for native English speakers, but there are other types of Cantonese phonetics systems, if you prefer them. Cantonese Pinyin is the system officially used in Hong Kong, but it never made sense to me during my self study of Cantonese, so I adopted Yale instead.

    Today unexpectedly a kid from Hong Kong joined my year group (i go to secondary school in the UK) unfortunately there’s been racist comments on him and it frustrates me so much because other students who has joined my school didn’t receive the same attitude, i’m sure it’s because he’s Asian. I don’t like how everybody crowded around him today so I decided to borrow Chinese dictionary’s until i figured people from Hong Kong speak Cantonese, so here i am! I want to welcome him as much as possible because it hurt me to see him look clueless and alone as it remembered me of my father’s story. I’m not entirely sure how this is going to work but i can at least tell him I have well intentions.

      It's great that you already speak Mandarin fluently, it will help you drastically in Cantonese-learning. The grammar are slightly different between Mandarin and colloquial Cantonese, but in writing, they are quite familiar.

    I was born in US and Cantonese was my first language because my parents speak it. My English has far surpassed my Cantonese and im gonna use this to hopefully relearn and learn some Cantonese. As i get older i realize that i dont want to lose my second language. I used to be able to understand it pretty well but i dont have as good as understanding as i used to.

Although it's 1:57 am and I'm learning bc i was up drinking too much tea, but hey, maybe I can surprise her in the morning? I know that I can't learn as much as I want in one night, so it will be a work in progress
