Hi Nicole, perhaps I can help you on Cantonese. I am a native speaker.

Every Cantonese words has its tone. If you speak the tone incorrectly, the meaning will be different.

Silimar case when emphasizing the words in English. Like the sentence "This is my car"

Emphasize different words in the sentence will give differnt meaning, so do Cantonese.

Feel free to send me a message :)

Javen, Nicole's going to Hong Kong. The local language there is Cantonese, not Mandarin. Don't confuse her. OK??? 

The best thing to do would be to take a lesson with a cantonese teacher and have them teach you some basic phrases.
