The words are easire to pick out in mandarin, each one is individual and understandable. Cantonese is like a machinegun of sounds being fired at my face.

Mandarin has 4 tones, Cantonese has 9 tones.

I’m Japanese, I learned Mandarin for 6-7yrs. Flipping Chinese characters happen between Japanese and Mandarin too. That was interesting, I loved it

“Hot little sister...” Just let that sink in...

I don't know any Chinese, but I absolutely love learning about languages! I think it's totally fascinating!
-
From what I know, Cantonese is a much more ancient Chinese dialect than Mandarin, in terms of the mainly used dialects.
-
I never realized how hard it was going to be to learn Cantonese. I figured I've gotten Mandarin down relatively well so Cantonese should be easy. Not a chance! I've put it on hold for now as it has frustrated me so much. Not gonna give up forever though.
-
Cantonese actually has existed longer in history than Mandarin. Or in other words, it is closer to the ancient spoken Chinese. When you read aloud some ancient Chinese poems, you will find that they make more sense in Cantonese. That is probably the reason why Cantonese has more tones and is more complicated than Mandarin. Cantonese is more difficult for foreigners to learn. Proud to be a Cantonese Speaker!

Cantonese sounds like a mix of Vietnamese and Thai to me
-
What’s so great about Cantonese is the swearwords. You can stack them. You can have a whole sentence without anything but swearwords. There are also 3 different swearwords for penis. Very cool. I’m from Hong Kong and mother language is Cantonese.

Mandarin: Aiya Cantonese: Diuuuuuuuuuuu
-
Jeeeesus. Anyone that can learn a language completely separate from their native language's family tree is remarkable indeed.
-
The thing is Most Cantonese can learn mandarin easier but mandarin people can't learn Cantonese as easy
