Mix of Taishanese and Cantonese (with an English accent)

 

yea a lot of Toishanese CBC in Canada, including me. But you got to visit Toishan someday..it's not all that bad, mostly countrysides with mountains everywhere. I am love hiking.

 

Cantonese

 

I speak Cantonese and I love it! I hate when other ppl tell me Cantonese is the minority and unimportant one because obviously all the Hong Kong and chinese celebrities speak Cantonese so who cares if the others speak Mandarin. I also think Cantonese sounds more elegant.

 

cantonese and hokkian

 

I can only speak Cantonese and vietnamese. i learn vietnamese for the friends i hang around with

 

I dun think I ever heard of hokkian spoken b4. What does it sound like?

 

I speak fu jian (hokkian). I understand a bit oral mandarin.

 

Hokkian is spoken mostly in Taiwan, Malaysia and Indonesia.

 

Speak cantonese plus a few word of mandarin and understand hakka

canto is the dialect i speak.
mandarin i learned for like 10 years in chinese school but can still barely speak it in convo lol.

I also speak english and french. been trying to learn jap, but uni work is getting in the way.

yuen long as in from Emergency Unit and lat gai? Lol sorry my geography of china is very bad. Then my geography in general is terrible anyway.

 

No offense, I know you probably may not even realize it, but when you abbreviate Japanese like that, it would be taken by most people of Japanese descent as the equivalent of saying it like:

"...been trying to learn chink." :rolleyes2:

"Jap" considered a derogatory and racist term to Japanese. If you need to shorten a Japanese reference, it may be more socially neutral to use JPN instead.

 

ah sorry =S My usual way of writing is full of abbreviations everywhere, to the point that it may be incomprehensible. I will take note of that next time thanks ralph ><

 

You quite welcome Intraland, and thank YOU for taking it as the purely informative and constructive criticism as it was intended, and not taking it personally. You're a real gentleman and a scholar.
