Seek a Cantonese textbook for people who have a certain foundation in Cantonese to learn

If you can't learn it from books, Cantonese doesn't have the same pronunciation as in books, so it is recommended to go to Guangdong to learn it in person and take a meeting within a year.

I think it is still necessary to learn Cantonese pinyin, and you should start learning Cantonese first, so that you will lay a good foundation for the future. Otherwise, many differences between Cantonese and Mandarin, such as intonation, sounds ending in m, and some other Mandarin without vowels, will be difficult to pronounce accurately.

Regarding Cantonese pinyin, there are two main mainstream schemes, namely the Hong Kong Cantonese pinyin scheme and the mainland Cantonese pinyin scheme, I think the Hong Kong Cantonese pinyin scheme is more scientific. You can refer to the following (link) information, which are more detailed explanations of Hong Kong-style pinyin:

For the study of Cantonese, you can watch more Cantonese TV stations, listen to Cantonese news, watch Cantonese movies, etc. (these are all subtitles that can be compared to facilitate learning). Cantonese TV stations can watch Hong Kong TV, Jade Channel, Pearl River Channel, etc.

Cantonese Association. I believe that these materials will be helpful to you :)

Also, it is advisable to start getting used to typing in pinyin:

It is recommended that Windows, Android, iOS, macOS and Linux users use the following Pinyin input methods to input Chinese.

PC:Zhongzhou rhyme (little wolf milli input method)

Android: gboard, Zhongzhou rhyme (same text input method).

ios: Zhongzhou rhyme (irime input method).

macOS: Zhongzhou rhyme (rat whisker tube).

Linux: Zhongzhou rhyme (ibus-rime).

Note: If you use the Google button (Gboard), remember to set the standard scheme of inlet picking (jyutping).

Note 2: At present, the major input methods such as Sogou input method, iFLYTEK input method and TouchPal input method only support voice input in Cantonese input, and do not yet support Cantonese pinyin input method, so it is not recommended for the time being.

If there is anything missing, please feel free to add it.

I recommend you two books, which are also commonly used by many Cantonese training institutions, New Edition of Today's Cantonese", Beijing Language and Culture University Press, Guangdong Rong Province Chinese Teaching Research Association, Zheng Dingou, Pan Xiaoluo, eds.

New Time and Space Cantonese", Jinan University Press, Zhan Bohui, Qiu Xueqiang The pinyin system of the two books is different, relatively speaking, the pinyin system of the first book is relatively old, and it is basically only used in the mainland, and the practicality and universality are weaker, but in terms of other contents, it is slightly standardized. In general, compared to other Cantonese textbooks, these two books are more formal and better.

Listening to more Cantonese songs is much easier to learn than textbooks.

Books are hard to learn, so it is recommended that you watch more Cantonese TV. Guangdong TV or Hong Kong TVB. After all, words are spoken, and you can't read the sound when you read a book.

That's right, reading books can't solve the problem, it's useless to learn the language and read books, I'm from the north, and I'm also self-taught, I once signed up for a study class, Shanmu's, the effect is average, and then I feel like I'm still listening to songs and watching movies, I re-watched Gu Juji's songs at that time, in addition to the above Gu Juji's songs are very good, Sideda's Yong'er Li Keqin, Eason Chan, Miriam Yang's songs are good, Eason Chan's slow songs are very suitable, you can listen to Gu Juji's strong songs. And then listen to the songs quoted in it, which are all classic Cantonese songs.

In my experience, it is difficult to learn the standard without living in the local area, and it depends on your method and perseverance. It is best to have a friend who can speak Cantonese and Chinese, so it should be possible to force yourself. I am from Shanghai, I moved to Hong Kong in the first year of junior high school, and I can already listen to and speak in school for half a year, because I have to listen to lectures, otherwise how can I study.

Of course, it's not standard, and there are often classmates who laugh at me (but not the very malicious kind), but fortunately, the classmate at the same table is very good, I don't understand and ask him, and after two to three years, the pronunciation is basically the same as that of the locals! Now I can't tell that I speak Cantonese from other provinces. Where are you from?

Landlord, you must be dizzy upstairs, I won't copy those things to show you, tell you some ways to learn.

To be honest, I've been in Shenzhen for 7 years, and now I've been in Hong Kong for 5 years, and although I can't say Cantonese, it's no problem, but the locals know that I'm from out of town, and I can't pronounce this kind of thing, and it's not very standard.

Just speak Mandarin with some people.

Although we can understand it.

But we know that they speak dialects, not standard Mandarin, so I suggest you watch more TVB TV dramas, and then listen to more Cantonese songs, Gu Juji sings Cantonese songs, the pronunciation of Cantonese songs is very clear, plus he has a standard Hong Kong accent, and most of his songs are relatively slow, you can listen to his songs to learn Cantonese.

No need to teach yourself. I am Cantonese. If you want to learn, teach me a friend. If you don't understand, I can point you out.

Cantonese, also known as Cantonese and Cantonese, commonly known as vernacular, and Tang dialect overseas, is a tonal language of the Sino-Tibetan language family, one of the seven major dialects of China, and the mother tongue of the Cantonese people of the Han nationality.

Cantonese originated from the ancient Central Plains dialect and has a complete nine tones and six tones, which perfectly retains the characteristics of ancient Chinese. Cantonese is widely spoken in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong, Macau, North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Christmas Island, and Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and other Chinese communities in Southeast Asia. Among the nearly 80 million local population in Guangdong Province, the core area of Cantonese speaking, there are nearly 40 million Cantonese speakers, and about 70 million Cantonese speakers worldwide.

In fact, the most important thing is to be patient, watch Cantonese movies and TV with subtitles for a few months, and listen to Cantonese songs to almost understand.

Cantonese should pay attention to the following points:

1. Ancient Words Cantonese broke away from the Chinese parent body earlier, and far away from the Central Plains, and has not kept up with the changes in Chinese, and many words that are no longer used in modern Mandarin are still commonly used in Cantonese. Such as:

畀 (give) 畀一笔佢 (give him a pen).

黐 (sticky) The cakes are good (these cakes are very sticky).

嗍 (inhale) 嗍一啖動 (take a breath).

佢 (ancient work "ditch") 佢喺bian個 (who is he).

Second, the underlying words of the ancient Yue language.

Ancient Yue is the language spoken by the South Vietnamese (Tong "Yue") ethnic group living in the Lingnan area in ancient times, and the Central Plains people moved to Lingnan, and the language was not immune to its influence, and most of the ancient Yue people were gradually assimilated, and they unconsciously brought the vocabulary of Old Yue when they abandoned their own language and used Chinese. These words can be found in the languages of the Zhuang Dong and other Xiaodao peoples, who are the descendants of the ancient Yue people today. Here are some examples:

This book is on the side of the shelf (whose book is it).

Pick up the book (pick it up).

Shrimp (bully) is not good, shrimp fine guy (don't bully younger brother).

3. Foreign words.

Cantonese loanwords are mainly derived from English. Canton was one of the first places to be forced to set up a treaty port, and Hong Kong was occupied by the British, and with the introduction of new foreign things, English vocabulary and Cantonese were introduced in large quantities. Some of them were also absorbed by Mandarin, and some were not absorbed by Mandarin and Cantonese alone.

Fourth, the innovation of dialect words.

Most of the Cantonese dialect words are their own innovations. With the emergence of new things and new ideas, vocabulary also needs to be constantly developed and innovated. Due to the distance between Guangdong and the Central Plains, their respective developments will inevitably bring differences, which leads to the difference between some vocabulary of Cantonese and Mandarin.

Such as: refrigerator (refrigerator) snow strips (popsicles) (Cantonese people usually do not distinguish between ice and snow).

Clay pot (boil, boil) Cook rice (cook rice) Cook porridge (boil porridge).

Pig red (pig blood) Cantonese people taboo to say "blood" changed to "red".

Bumping the board (touching the nail) does not listen to the old man, and the hitting board is in front of you (does not listen to the elders, it is inevitable to touch the nail).
