Many people will wonder if we need to speak Cantonese when we go to work. How do we learn it? Was it originally going to Hong Kong to learn? !
What skills can you learn quickly and well? Come and share with you, how did I start learning from 0! ! Use these three methods, you will speak well.
Originally, it should not be difficult to speak Cantonese. After all, there are many pronunciations similar to those of Mandarin or Hakka. When I used to go to Hong Kong to play, I would probably understand it at the time.
I really lived in Hong Kong and found that the pronunciation of this language is too difficult! And very distorted ~ there are many words that are super-like! If you accidentally make a mistake, it means another person who wants to spray rice!
I remember that when I first moved to Hong Kong in 2011, I made up my mind to study hard, because I am also very interested in Cantonese, and I hope that I can be more integrated in Hong Kong!
Although I was busy with the flight attendants training, I decided to pick it up! After using these three methods, there will be great progress in Cantonese in the first half of the year~ and it is easy to talk!
Interested friends can refer to my way!
1. A lot of watching Hong Kong dramas
The training pressure is really great. I have to review the content I have been going to do every night when I return home. But I still use the time to watch the Hong Kong drama when I have dinner, and I am chasing every day. From the old drama, I have traditional Chinese. Subtitles, all Cantonese, sometimes you can't stop seeing two episodes!
Then I started reading ~~ (pointing the wrong focus)
Because the lines in the Hong Kong drama are very lively, I will pause the sentences that I use very well, listen to them a few times, and follow them~
Then I met a very special pronunciation or a word that didn't understand the meaning. Then I asked my colleague from Hong Kong and I went through the drama and found that I learned a lot of life words! ! And it is very helpful for general simple life conversation skills.
2. Practice with my colleagues/friends in Hong Kong
It is very important to learn the language and environment, but the most important thing is that you have to dare to speak. Otherwise, you don’t know if you are right or not. After the service on the train, because most of my colleagues are Hong Kong people, there are also many Cantonese dialects flying on the plane. This is the best time to test your listening and learning! Although we mainly use English to talk to each other, if the same kitchen is mostly Hong Kong people, the chances of everyone talking in Cantonese are also very high! Cantonese has a lot of English + Chinese usage, you can learn from colleagues, for example, we have to return with A sister or elder brother after doing a security check, English will say check, Cantonese will say check sun ( "Tanning" is the meaning of the end, that is, the inspection is over! You can also talk about the check, which is the same meaning! "Zuo" is a bit like the Mandarin "" in Cantonese.
After listening for a long time, I will imitate and use it! If I hear a colleague say something that I don't understand, I will immediately ask, and then follow it. It is better to make a sentence haha so I won't forget it! I feel that my colleagues will continue to improve quickly, don't be afraid to make mistakes, and don't be afraid to be laughed, so that you can learn. Everyone in Taiwan can also find a way to find a friend in Hong Kong to practice dialogue!
3. Buy a language book to strengthen learning
I also bought a book on Cantonese study, which comes with a CD, and also has a variety of different pronunciations. Of course, there are many practical words and sentences.
Listening to the CD is actually similar to watching a movie. The point is that you have to follow it, to correct your pronunciation, to be accurate, and to remember more than a few times!
You can practice a lot of common life conversations. After all, you have to learn more commonly used sentences. You don't have to force yourself to read too difficult idioms. Once you find it too difficult, you can easily feel frustrated~ Then you may want to give up XD.
For example, if you meet a Hong Kong person in Taiwan or ask a Hong Kong friend to chat, you can try to talk about it. When you go to Hong Kong to play, you have to use it! Especially the tea restaurant ~ is to experience and integrate the most authentic Hong Kong culture, but the people in the tea restaurant are flying fast ~ ~ haha
I also took some time to adapt when I first started, but I often talked more and more, and I will understand more and more spoken conversations!
Even if you don't speak well, you can talk about it. If you don't correct it, you can correct it slowly. Deliberate practice is the key!
I will give you the secret of learning Cantonese. I hope to help you!
I am very fortunate to have a working environment to learn a new language, but also to apply what I have learned, but the language is very realistic. If I don't have time to learn and practice, even if there is an environment, it is useless! !
To talk more and more, the sense of language will always follow you, and you can speak better and more fluently!
Sister, I am still working hard on the continuous practice... because after a while I will not be able to rotate the card!
