mandarin it is for me... but i dont like the Beijing accent.. too much slurring and they lost the 'yin zhun'..
i think mandarin is a more useful language to learn however..

Cantonese, on the other hand, is good for watching hk shows.. domokun
i rather hear Cantonese with English subs than to hear mando dubbed..

but in r/l, i think mandarin sounds more polite and friendly to the ears..

I can understand the subtitle. Even if I can't, I can still know what they're talking about, I don't know why. I watch HK drama since I was very small. Can't remember when I first watched it but I'm sure that I was illiterate that time. Maybe it's like how we learned a new language when we were small, I learned Cantonese by watching those dramas.

I like the way Cantonese sounds more than Mandarin. Also, a lot of movies I like are in Cantonese originally.
Too bad I'm like freakin' dysfunctional with my skillz.
