[quote=GUEST32253,69415]Hi all, I want to visit China for 2 months and learn mandarin. But since every city has its own accent, is it difficult to learn the standard mandarin? Currently i'm thinking about going to Kunming which seems like a nice city, but since it's so far from Beijing, the center of standard mandarin, I'm wondering if I will get distracted by an eventual accent on the streets? Will I be able to understand the guy in the store, the bus driver, local people in general and the guy selling me dumplings? Is there another city (not too cold in the winter and not expensive) that is better suited for learning standard mandarin? Thanks a lot for you time! Best, Elena [/quote]
