[quote=MOONDOLLARS,260972]hey ghost -- i've actually tried learning cantonese and it was harder than i anticipated. i thought it was easier to go from cantonese to mandarin, because cantonese has more tones than mandarin. people i know who (native speakers from taiwan) can speak both say it's easy to learn cantonese if you know mandarin, but i just don't see how. i'm not sure if cantonese would be necessary to learn if you already know mandarin, though, i've heard it's useful to know shanghainese since top officials and many other people speak in shanghainese in shanghai. i guess it'd be good to secretly understand in a business negotiation, ha. -moondollars [/quote]
