Hi, Just hope to say I'm really impressed by your effort in learning Cantonese this way. Personally, I think Cantonese is a very vibrant and dynamic language (or it is also commonly called a 'dialect' as it doesn't have military behind it). Cantonese has been widely spoken in a lot of places in the world. I hope keep your great work. How I wish there was a more simple and easy way to learn, it shouldn't look so complicated and difficult... On the other hand, if you're looking for a native speaker to help you with the speaking skills, I could volunteer to help a bit. Please feel free to drop me a line.
