怎么学习广东话才好呢？
最近我开始学习广东话。我买了几本书，还有1下载学习广东话的app。现在最难的是广东话的声调。普通话有四个声调，可是广东话呢？有的书上说广东话有六个声调，有的书（）说有九个声调。到底广东话有几个声调呢？我想，学习广东话的声调跟发音是学广东话的第一步。可是现在我连第一步也走不下去。
请告诉我好的办法（/有什么好办法）吧。
谢谢您读我的文章。
祝大家快乐。
【1】 ’没有 + 动词短语’是普通话常见的结构，‘有 + 动词短语’是方言用法（包括广州话），但是现在北方人有时也使用。

你写得很好！
可能你先要打一打基础，这一阶段进展比较慢，但这是必须的，坚持，just keep going！
有点基础之后，可能学唱粤语歌、看粤语影视剧是很好的办法，这两种资源网上都有很多，很容易得到。问题是自己说的机会比较少，可以找一两个language partners，比如学韩语的粤语者，互相学习，互相帮助。
广州话有九个调类 tonal category、六个调型 tonal pattern（就是实际听到的声调的曲线contour）, 有的调类的调型是相同的，所以实际上能听出的是六个声调。有的书不用调类、调型这些词语，笼统地说“声调”，所以说法就可能有所不同。
Watch more Cantonese dramas probably those from hong kong or surround with Cantonese native speakers. I am not a Cantonese speaker. But i can tell you according from my perspective as a Min Nan dialect speaker. Realistically speaking , the nine tones is extremely hard to grasp, you will need to find a professional Cantonese teacher who can teach you the nine tones. As a Min Nan speaker, i do not even know the nine tones in Min Nan at all, even if my parents who speak Min Nan can't be bothered to know the nine tones because they speak the dialect from young with my grandparents. I picked up my own family dialect by listening to my parents talk and watch some Taiwanese dramas. Chinese dialect like Cantonese is best learnt from context. Firstly, you need to catch some words that do sound like Mandarin, word such as 朋友 in mandarin is prounounced as "pang yeow" in Cantonese. It sound phonetically similiar to some extent. From there, you pick up other words that are different from Cantonese. Then you use the words that you learnt in Cantonese to form a sentence.
Cantonese is somewhat an older form of Chinese compared to Mandarin. Sometimes the Cantonese expressions are vastly different from Mandarin in some cases. If you are learning Chinese dialects like Cantonese, you are essentially learning what did the Chinese people in the Guangdong province talk in the old days when Mandarin is not popularised in China and Taiwan.
For myself, I do not learn Min Nan from books, i just listen to my parents talk in Min Nan and watch Taiwanese dramas and just follow what they say. It is too hard to learn from books according to my experience. Similarily, the best way to learn Cantonese is to follow what the Cantonese people say. It is easier. Since you know chinese, i think it would not be too difficult for you since you have a good foundation in Mandarin. Remember, Chinese dialects are best learnt based on Context and following people. Watch more Cantonese dramas and follow them. The more you understand Cantonese, the more you follow how they speak, soon you would be on your way to speaking Cantonese. Thats all i can tell you. All the best!
