been in HK for 4 years, understands Cantonese when it is not spoken like a hurricane.
But I tend not to speak the language these days (except to ask for the price when buying things) cos I got teased alot.. especially from my security guard who is about 70s in age? I thot I was nice by conversing in a lanaguage that he understands but he will always reply me in a sing song manner (something that he never does to my hubby).
I dont think I will ever master Cantonese fluently cos I dont have people that I can converse in Cantonese to on a daily basis but I am happy with picking up bits and pieces here and there.
