I'm cantonese and proud of it! i can speak relatively well, but ashamed to say I can't read or write :(
lol...canto ftw .... but seems everyone can't write haha... i think there was a rap song about that problem, anyone have it?
Cantonese.. can't read or write it though, only the very VERY few basic words.. i've tried to be taught how to when i was little but parents were always busy with work and stuff.
Well, my family's language is not Cantonese but a dialect of Cantonese I guess. I'm actually Taishanese but I can speak Cantonese and understand pretty well (not to mention all the TVB and Hong Kong movies I watched while growing up). But yeah .. it's Cantonese with my friends and Toisan with my family. ^_^
i only speak cantonese, but most of my friends can speak mandarin, i am planning to take a mandarin class once school start again.
I expected more Mandarin people...seeing as the official language of China is Mando. I'm Canto though...I love Canto way more than Mando. I don't get why Canto isn't the official language...it should be!!
Yeah, I like Cantonese better because .. well it's the language that I know how to communicate with and that I can understand it. Mandarin is a but hard for me to understand but I guess I can figure out a couple of phrases or so. o_o
Well, it is very advantageous if you can speak both. I can speak both but since living in America, English is the first language and hence the level of my mandarin just decreases to a certain level and I now feel that my Cantonese is much better.
