Can speak cantonese but not write or read!!!

lol we , we;re chinese 白痴 , anyway to get chinese smart really quick?

 

Huh? What? -what?

 

Well, the main thing is that you have to like it, if you don't enjoy the class your taking or whatever. Reading, wrting or even speaking wont come to you ^

 

i would love to read and write but i heard it's very difficult. fortunately, you seem intrinsically motivated so you'll enjoy it : )

 

cant read or write either
but eh... if you want to learn to write or read
its gonna take you a freaking long time ><

 

i can't read or write chinese!!!
it's so frustrating wish i continued with chinese school!
guess learning it is a bit too late now :(
i'm very good with my cantonese speaking though
thanks to TVB!
if they introduced chinese subtitles in the 80s then i would have prob been able to pick up the words when watching TVB because you learn better when young
but too late now for me :(

 

same here hard for abc to learn unless you take class

 

best advice is to learn chinese when ur very young and continued for a while at least

 

well, i mean if you know how to speak and wirting should be easy to learn,

 

karaoke, tvb then read newspapers and magazines to maintain ur chinese so u dont 4get if u dun go to classes

 

ya, i speak cantonese. sometime i wish i can forget some chinese b .c. i know too much

 

i can speak, read a bit but cant write

 

I can speak cantonese, not that fluent tho, but... understandable I guess =P
I had mandarin lesson for like.. 8 years, but I still only know the basic stuff =__=
I wish I'd pay more attention and tried harder my best back then.
But, I've noticed watching taiwanese series and listen/sing chinese songs does improve your chinese.
Also, singing karaoke seems to work too ^-^ So yu could try that =)
Besides it's fun =D

 

im a nub as well
can only read and write a little...so annoying

 

Most canto people I know (including myself) actually learn Mando from watching taiwanese dramas ^^ Maybe you can try that. Also, Mando music, except those are bad for learning the tones? ^^ not too sure

 

I'm not particularly skilled in speaking Canto but I can hold my own for the most part. Mandarin I took a few courses in but it's still a work in progress.

It's not hard to learn a language as long as you buckle down and do what you need to do.

That being said, actually going to Hong Kong or China will greatly improve your chances of mastering a language because you're forced to speak otherwise you'll be in trouble. Force yourself to speak and you'll be amazed at how easy it comes. Also watching soap operas are a good way because their sentence structure and plot dialogue is so basic a monkey could understand it, so just copy what they say until you get the hang of the basics and move up from there.

 

^ gotta agree with that.... the more you use the language the more adapt you will come with it so it will roll off your tongue much easily....

 

wtf? why is everyone in hong kong so impolite. its 請問，你貴姓？

anyways you can learn cantonese with these websites.

i can speak cantonese too. i learned about 7 years to read and wirte chinese but i stopped when i went to highschool.. and now i regret i quit learning chinese.. i forgot almost everything and it is just frustrating not able to read the chinese websites.. :(

 

I too cant read ot write, well can only do the really basic words but I also stopped after a year or two at a college somewhere. I dont regret it as much but I think i will try and pick it up sometime in the future.
