| Hi! I'd personally like to learn Shanghainese. Any suggestions? This is not because of practical reason or usefulness, but because of personal reasons: I've found Shanghainese interesting, fun, nice-sounding, and much easier for me to pronounce than Mandarin. I don't mind learning to read or write with Chinese characters - except to the extent of as I happend to find it adding to the "fun factor". Being able to carry some basic conversation on daily matters in Shanghainese... yes, I'd like to be able to do that :-) |
