when it comes to a second language i want to learn, the first comes into my mind is Cantonese.
Although it belongs to the same language family as mandarin actually, it has obvious distinction in vocabulary and grammar.
As for the reason why i want to learn Cantonese, the first thing i want to mention is that i am going to take further education in Hongkong. And i plan to work there after graduating.
As you know , the Cantonese is commonly used in Hongkong. Therefore i need to acquire this language and speak it fluently.
It can increase my chance while seeking the job and provide me more opportunity.
And it enable me to communicate with my college on daily basis conveniently and integrate into local community.
Watch some Hong Kong TV series.
The best approach is to go to its origin and have more practice with local people.
