| haha dont tell me u had to learn how to say Hua in cantonese.. hehe I knew this and i have never even learned cantonese. Jokes aside, I always believed, it is practically impossible to learn new languages after a certain age. Sure you can learn few words, but to master it, the tense and the exact accent is impossible. Of course there might be few people who have done it, but its very rare. Just my opinion i could be wrong. Thats why I envy Singaporean and malaysian chinese, boy they can speak Malay, English, Mandarin, Cantonese/Hokkien/Hakka. Its cool.
oh I heard that 5-10 years ago, if you didnt speak Shanghainese in Shanghai, people look down on you? same as it was in HK if you didnt speak Cantonese. My friends say it is still the case in Shanghai but at a much lesser extent. is it true? |
