as the title states, i can speak and listen cantonese, but i really want to learn to READ! does anybody know any good sites or software that can help? any help is appreciated!
Well, do you listen to Cantonese music? I think watching the K/MTV of the song is a great way to learn one by one. Of course nobody "run before they walk".
Get someone to "read" the newspaper with you, OUT LOUD. That also helps with proper pronunciation... As for actually learning to write them characters... It's a painfully long saga...
well.... hm... i think its best to get one of those little textbook from HK like the ones for primary schools those are the ones to start with and get sometapes if u know how to write then its easy to read just learning to read is difficult i think
Yes, chinese classes. They're usually listed in extra-cirricular brochures from board of education. I took a few years of it at my elementary school. Anybody can attend. It was free.
i learned by tvb dramas~ which really helps and i think u should take elementary cantonese or better yet, go to church they teach chinese
tbh unless your gonna devote a lot of time to this, you wont get far (in my opinion) i went to chinese school (like sunday school) for many years and i can just about get away with reading chinese. writing is another level.... The only reason i can even read chinese, is cause of basic stuff from chinese school and listening to songs and reading the lyrics and reading TVB subtitles but if your just gonna self-learn, part time, your prob only gonna be able to do the basics like numbers and animals and objects
