Cantonese Language Zone
We are the
Chinese. You will be assimilated. Resistance is
futile.
Whether or not you think you can learn and speak
Cantonese, you can. Lucky for you, this language is not as
difficult as you might think. Sure, there are many characters
one has to memorize in
order to read write,
but all that comes with time.
As the Chinese say, "A thousand mile journey begins with one step."
There are countless resources, both on and
offline that teach Mandarin, the official dialect of Mainland China
and Taiwan, but there is another dialect with equal importance.
Cantonese is spoken by the people of Hong
Kong, Macau, Guangdong Province of Mainland China, and many overseas
Chinese communities such as those in Seattle, San Francisco, and Los
Angeles. Hong Kong and Macau are major business and entertainment
centers of the Chinese-speaking world, but there are few resources that teach
Cantonese to foreign speakers.
Well, I am here to solve that problem and
offer you a comprehensive guide to the Cantonese language that is
simple to use and easy to understand. My goal is to make Cantonese
(and Chinese in general) less of a frightening endeavor than it
seems. I am excited to show you that even a language as foreign as
Chinese is learnable, and you will be amazed with yourself, not to
mention all the
Chinese people who will marvel at your incredible skill!
