Mandarin or Shanghaiese? "So what dialect to learn? Learn the dialect that is the most appropiate for your needs." And that's really what it all boils down to. If you're moving to a province for work, then learn what is most commonly understood there. If you're learning for fun, then choose the Chinese dialect you most like. If you're a kid, it's even more encouraged that you learn multiple languages at once, so that when you grow up, it'll be easier for you to learn new languages. Apparently, your tongue'll be soft and flexible enough to permit quick shaping of new sounds. |
