Mandarin, Cantonese, Sichuan dialect

Da jia hao!

Come back to my blog again. Still, do not find any interesting topic to write after thinking and thinking. Suddenly, one idea strikes me, how about sharing with you about mandarin, cantonese, sichuan dialect.

To begin with, mandarin is the essential language tool across China. As we know, China is a multiracial country with 56 minority ethnic group, it is not difficult to understand different language exists. Mandarin gathers all the different ethnic group toghther and make them understood, therefore, mandarin plays an great important role on the people's daily life and activities. Mandarin is required to be trained from the elementary school for everyone.

Why I wanna mention Cantonese, that is because I am working in Shenzhen city, one metropolis in south China Guangdong province. Cantonese is the native language here, you may hear everywhere. Frankly speaking, I dislike the cantonese language in my earlier life, simply because I cannot understand what the actor and actress say in the film, even with caption. You may know that Hongkong film was very popular in internal area one decade ago, you can imagine how unconfortable the situation was. However, I like people speak cantonese, even I wanna learn from someone who can speak. this language is beautiful. Try some new things is very interesting.

Finally, come to our Sichuan dialect. why say ours, because I am from Sichuan, one of southwest china province. To some extent, sichuan dialect is the most understood language besides mandarin. it is easy to be understood, to learn. sichuan dialect also has different accent, which forms distinct regional features. but this do not have an impact on the communication within sichuan territory.

I really wanna try to learn cantonese, do you wanna try ro sichuan dialect? if yes, contact me.
