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..

xoxCharlenexox yks I'm a Cantonese but I can't speak it sweatdrop . Thanks to HK drama, I can understand it very well. The only problem is I don't know how to speak. I speak mandarin at home. how do u learn cantonese from watching HK drama if u can't read the sub? 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.t0shi0 Aye~! Must. Glomp. -tackles YKS- Ahem... ninja Let Tosh explain.
