Speak Mandarin, Cantonese and Teochew (Teochiu) fluently. I can read and write but when it comes to Chinese literature in terms of poetry and those things I'm hopeless. I started learning canto at an early age from watching TVB.
i only speak taishanese once a week with my family. i undertand canto, but doesnt quite speak it. btw, wat is hakka?
i could speak Taishanese but i dont speak, i could understand people are speaking around me. most the time i would just speak cantonese, i also know little bit of mandarin.
i speak canto but i also understand and speak hakka, cause my parents are hakka. now i'm learning mando
Ma parents can speak canto, hakka, weidau, taipan and mandarin..But i can only speak canto..sighs Im learning PINYIN now, known as mandarin. 'wo shuo yi tian tian guoyu' -sweat
I can speak Cantonese alright, not the best since Im an ABC. My dad was raised in HK and my mom was born here lol. But my grandparents originated from a town called "Pig Sea" when translated directly from canto loool.
i speak fluent cantonese and bit of mandarin. though i also understand hakka, cus my grandparents speak hakka. i was born overseas, parents from hongkong and china (guangzhou). moved alot around the world, now living in beijing.
