Features: "East, West, North, South, and the Center, get rich in Guangdong" is a popular saying in recent years. Currently, many people from other provinces come to Guangdong to work, and many foreigners come to Guangzhou to invest and do business. "A workman must first sharpen his tools," they all hope to learn some Cantonese and master this linguistic tool to better communicate with locals and help their own development. This book is written for those in urgent need. Based on our experience, to learn a language well, one must first master its pronunciation, then acquire a certain number of common words, and finally practice repeatedly.
First, the introduction of pronunciation should be both comprehensive and concise. The compilers have meticulously designed explanations and exercises for initials, finals, tones, and various forms of practice (otherwise, saying "yào yóu jī" instead of "yào jiā jī" or "wèn dì fù" instead of "wèn dǐ kù" would be a "big deal.").
Second, the dialogue section is the highlight. Based on the need for "emergency use," we have developed 20 topics, each featuring 40 commonly used sentences. The texts are mostly single-sentence structures, with a few being question-and-answer formats, aiming to give readers greater flexibility to use them skillfully and flexibly.
Finally, the book is supported by other elements in each lesson (such as practical notes, expansion exercises, substitution exercises, Cantonese-Mandarin homophones and heterophones, translation tests with answers, etc., which are unique features of the book) and authentic audio recordings of pronunciation. We hope this will help readers quickly master common Cantonese.
