any tips on learning chinese?
i tried rosetta stone and am currently downloading some of the books in the sticky, but maybe somebody can tell me what websites/books/program he used while learning?
rosetta so far has only been memorizing sentences i dont even know the translation of.
also is it very hard to learn mandarin after studying cantonese and vice versa? or is it something like learning american english after studying british english?
Rosetta stone is a meme. Stop wasting your time with it.
Get Anki.
ChineseSkill, a Chinese gf, and your Chinese gf's mother
These are all the resources you need.
cantonese is spoken and chinese is written
cantonese differ much from mandarin in tones and in some cases grammar and vocabulary
it is about as different as english and french
