White Aussie fluent in Cantonese

It really depends on the speaker's pitch. Person speaking fast in high pitch can be rough on the ear, especially to a non-speaker.

I have a divest background so understands few E-Asian languages & dialects. There were times cutties were discussing GT the 'banana' in their native tongue. Boy, did they blush when I thank them for the attention.
It didn't matter what they were saying as their voice were so damn sexy.:D

In terms of Viet, the northern dialect has rounder tone that's easier on the ear.

Here's 1 discussion on Cantonese vs. Mandarin.

In another 3 yrs, it wouldn't matter as our chinatowns shift from mostly Cantonese to Fu-Jainese (ie: hok-kien), same transformation as the U.S. chinatowns with influx of mainlanders. The same evolution decades ago from Toy-shan to Cantonese.

P.S.: Are Asian guys suppose to end their post with (no homo)?
 
If anybody notice the interview with her parents, it sounds like both parents are Christian missionaries from down under.

And they are extremely motivated to make sure their son & daughter to go native, be homeschooled and hmm....like a particular food.

BTW, there are more Indians, Nepalese and Macanese who speak Cantonese and write Chinese like the natives. White people, especially the Anglo-Saxon are really rare by comparison, except they used to work in the colonial government and Christian missionaires.

Oh, what a shame she can speak better Cantonese than all of my cousins.

Also, she can minmick the Hong Kong Chinese guy heavy English accent, definitely not sexy compared to the French or Italian accents in the eyes of the white chicks:eek: .

Wanna to compare the number of white chicks, or any non-Chinese who speak Cantonese or Chinese like locals and the numbers of Asians who speak English like the natives?:rolleyes:

I would not be surprised if the ratio is 10 to 1. 10 Asians vs. 1 non-Asian.

If there are that many white people who can speak and white Chinese/Cantonese like this Aussie, then why would the CSIS, CIA of the world have a hard time to recruit people who could speak Chinese, Arabic or Farsi like natives? I am not even talking about recruiting those sharing the same heritage.

the lack of numbers does not make it an amazing feat......anyone can do it if they want to.....it just takes time and practice.....since when did learning a new language become amazing.....what would be amazing is someone who was fluent in several languages.....e.g. John Paul II was fluent in Polish, Italian, French, German, English, Spanish, Croatian, Portuguese, Russian and Latin. now that's amazing.

someone being bilingual or trilingual is not amazing regardless of what language is spoken

I am curious to know how many languages can you speak fluently like a local? You must be a polygot or diplomat working at foreign affairs or something.

BTW, John Paul II was not that "amazing" as he could not speak and read either Hebrew or Aramaic.
