have been attending cantonese lessons on tuesday nights since early july 07 though I have register the course a few months back but guess that the institute was waiting for more applicants to enroll. have been to a couple of lessons and missed one due to orientation at marketing institute of sg for the bachelor of commerce that I'm taking up. Anyway, I have been learning greetings, numbers and timing. All in all it has been cool though the class is made up of 5 students (2 males and 3 females, guess all of them are older than me) lolz. the teacher is from hongkong and I'm glad to be in the class learning as all of us are chinese literate thus our learning pace would be faster.
There are a total of 9 tones unlike chinese where there are only 4 tones, which makes pronounciating tough. Love cantonese music and hk drama but too bad they have been subbed. It would be good to pick up a language and maybe in future if my in-laws speak that dialect, I could also converse with them. well, that will kinda be far-fetched... haha... cant wait to finish the lessons and master the language~* Maybe another language I would take up would be Jap, have a liking for Jap drama and anime not forgetting musc!! but I guess it would be much difficult than cantonese, and guess it will cost lots of time and money too... well, that is just a goal maybe before I reach the age of 26 to be able to write a letter in Jap. All the best benny!
