Your Cantonese could be improved quickly if you keep chating and watching TV.
I also did not know any Mandarin before I met my husband. I learnt it slowly when I was in Taiwan because I only had couple friends overthere and I mainly watched the Japanese Channels. (I miss the TV channels in Taiwan so much!)
My Mandarin improve a lot since I am living in China. Coz' there are so many babies in the area we are living and just keep talking and talking...no good TV programmes in here ah!
To All Mums,
I always speaking Cantonese to 蓁蓁 as he must know Mandarin when he gose to shcool in the future. He could understand both Mandarin and Cantonese. I think most of you are speaking Mandarin to your babies while daddy is speaking Cantonese...
I have already learnt Cantonese by watching TV news. But some words are so difficult to pronouce in Cantonese. My HK friends often teach me the correct pronouciation. It's really hard for me. Anyway, I will do my best to practice my Cantonese.
Are you living in China? What city do you live? I think you must be very adaptable. It's hard to accustom the life style in China and Taiwan for most HK citizens. Because I found it's so differrent between China and Hk in culture, environment,....
