    First of all, you need to choose a textbook that is suitable for beginners, or go directly to register for an online Cantonese course.

    Follow the textbooks and CDs from beginning to end, or follow a Cantonese teacher to complete a whole set of courses, and you will basically be able to master 70% of your Cantonese knowledge.

    The next step is to get out of the textbook and practice diligently. I divide it into direct and indirect exercises.

    Indirect practice, for example, you can watch more TVB Hong Kong dramas and read along, listen to more Cantonese songs and learn to sing, and imitate more standard pronunciation.

    Practice directly, if you are in the best Cantonese-speaking area, you can talk directly to the locals, if you are not in the Cantonese-speaking area, you can also add some Cantonese friends on the Internet, and you can also pick up your mobile phone and chat with Cantonese Siri.

    As for the accent issue, there is no need to worry about it, even the accents of the north and south of Mandarin are very different, so as long as you can understand and communicate normally, you don't need to ask yourself to be as authentic as the locals.

    In short, it is not difficult to learn Cantonese, and some Cantonese pronunciation and Mandarin pronunciation changes are not very large. If we can put 60% of our effort and dedication into learning English, we will definitely be able to learn Cantonese well.

    It is very difficult to learn a new language well. Because this is a new language, different from Mandarin, and the gap is very large, if you want to learn, you can enroll in a class to study alone, and you can go to Guangzhou to survive for a period of time, survive for a year or two, and you can learn most of it.

    Although everyone speaks that Cantonese is basically equivalent to another language, I think she still has something in common with Mandarin, although there are some local dialects, but I think if there is a person who is better at Cantonese, or a Cantonese person, he is willing to teach you, these things are still relatively simple, it has something in common with Mandarin, and it is much easier than you learn a foreign language. And there are many good Cantonese songs with lyrics, you can listen to these songs, and then learn the relevant skills of Cantonese by the way.

    I think if you want to learn Cantonese, you should go to some Cantonese movies or make some Cantonese friends.

    When I was working in Beijing, I had a colleague in Guangdong who would often communicate with him and ask him to teach me some Cantonese.

    And sometimes I go to buy some books and learn some Cantonese words from the books.

    The reason I learned Cantonese was because I wanted to sing Cantonese songs.

    Here's how to learn Cantonese quickly:1. The first step in learning words is to train your ears to distinguish between two different sounds. Different languages have different phonemes, and when you learn Cantonese, at least half of the sounds are sounds you haven't heard in your life.

    The average person is not very sensitive to sounds other than their mother tongue and cannot easily distinguish them. For example, chicken gei1 in Cantonese does not have this sound in Mandarin (the e in Cantonese is different from the e in Mandarin, it means a short a sound), and it is usually confused with street gai1. Pay attention to the differences between these sounds when studying.

    2. The second step in learning to speak is to train your mouth. Sometimes you know how to pronounce that sound, but as soon as you speak, you unconsciously pronounce another sound, or you stammer. There will be this "inadequate" situation because you are not proficient in the pronunciation of this language, the tongue is not flexible, and the pronunciation will be unconsciously influenced by the mother tongue.

    The only solution is to train your mouth by talking more.

    3. The third step in learning words is to train your eyes. When you listen to someone else, you should not only listen to his voice, but also look at his mouth, how his mouth moves, and how it shapes. For example, in Cantonese, the pronunciation of "dian" and "dot" is very similar, the pronunciation of dian din2 ends with the lips are not closed, while the pronunciation of dim2 ends with the lips closed, if you can see the difference, you will not confuse the two sounds.

    Common Cantonese vocabulary1. Hello (Neihou).

    2. Good morning (Zuosen).

    3. ** (Soldiers).

    4. Why (point solution).

    5. What is the matter?

    6, I'm sorry (Hmm, Hou Yisi).

    7. Thank you (don't be good).

    8. Goodbye (Zaigen).

    9, I like you very much (Goose Hou Zongyinei).

    All language learning is the same, to put it simply, you have to listen and speak more.

    Listen more, speak more, and master the correspondence between Cantonese and Mandarin.

    1. Listen more: The bookstore has Cantonese learning materials with CDs (or tapes), buy a set and listen to them every day. When visiting a market or store, pay attention to the conversations of the people around you, try to understand, and create a language environment for yourself at all times.

    2. Say more: Like learning a foreign language, start with daily conversation, learn three sentences a day (don't have to do more, use the cycle learning method, that is, learn three new sentences a day, and review the three sentences of yesterday and the day before yesterday before learning new words), use it after learning, and don't be afraid to laugh, because other people's laughter is a kind of laughter.

    3. Master the correspondence between Cantonese and Mandarin: Cantonese and Mandarin are both Chinese, and their initials, finals, and tones have certain corresponding rules. Generally speaking, the number of sounds, rhymes, and tones in Cantonese is more than that in Mandarin, that is, the word with the same initial in Mandarin may be divided into two or three initials in Cantonese, such as the word with the initial k in Mandarin, and the word with the initial K in Mandarin is divided into k, f, and h in Cantonese, such as the initial of "rely on, lose" is k, the initial of "bitter and wide" is f, and the initial of "empty and kang" is h.

    The same is true for finals and tones. Cantonese has 9 tones, and it is important to note which two tones of Cantonese are equal to a certain tone in Mandarin. In short, language is a skill, not something that can be learned by understanding alone, but by listening, speaking, and especially speaking.

    I wish you a good time learning Cantonese! Learning a language is not an easy task. Northerners often say, "The sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, but the Cantonese are afraid of speaking Mandarin."

    Cantonese learning listening practice.

    1. Beginners should listen to more Cantonese songs initially, because the grammar in Cantonese songs is the same as Mandarin, the pronunciation is relatively standard, easy to understand, and they will not feel bored after listening to it.

    2. To a certain extent, you can choose some literary and artistic programs such as galas and award ceremonies in Hong Kong, the hosts of these programs are familiar with the main songs and dances, and the host's speech will not be too acceptable. You can understand what they mean.

    3. If the first two levels have passed, then you can watch the original TV series in Hong Kong, at first everyone will think that the TV series is a bit difficult to listen to. Try to stick with it and you'll be fine. Be persevering!

    4. If the TV series can be understood, then there is no problem in listening to Hong Kong's **** press conference and online broadcast. Then listen to RTHK's programs, radio dramas, and so on. In this way, your hearing is basically okay.

    If you are interested in Cantonese or feel that learning the language will be useful, then you need to learn Cantonese comprehensively and systematically.

    The learning content of Cantonese mainly includes three aspects: pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. Vocabulary includes common words, common words, colloquialisms and slang.

    The first is pronunciation. The pronunciation is best to learn Cantonese spelling, learn to lose the shirt Cantonese spelling, and can be accurately pronounced, then it will be much more convenient to learn Cantonese in the future, if you encounter new words that will not be in the future, directly check the corresponding Cantonese spelling. Here it is recommended to learn the Cantonese Pinyin scheme of the Hong Kong Linguistic Society, which has a wide range of applicability and is suitable for beginners.

    The second is vocabulary. There are many commonly used and special words and phrases in Cantonese, as well as relatively complex Cantonese colloquialisms, slang, and Jiehou slang. This part of the content is both large and scattered, mainly relying on personal learning and accumulation, from quantitative to qualitative change.

    Finally, there is the grammar. Grammar helps us learn the way we think in Cantonese, and helps us translate the common words we want to express into Cantonese smoothly.
