    im taishanese...or something like that. I heard that we are the first chinese to migrate to america.

    I got a question. how many chinese dialects are there? i think taishanese is only 7% in china or all over the world....

    Hakka is very similar to Cantonese. I speak both Cantonese and English
    Born in China, move to NYC at 10. I prefer to speak Cantonese Because its easier for me to get the point across!!

    I can speak Cantonese....born and raised in Toronto.

    A point of interest - used to be mostly cantonese spkers in Toronto, now the chinese population here is probably mostly mandarin speakers.

    Time to breakout the pimsleurs...
