[quote=Anonymous]This whole situation can be tough. College acquaintance born and raised in US had parents who only really spoke or understood Cantonese. The kids understood Cantonese, but only could say simple words and sentences. By college, there were huge communication gaps. Kids did not have advanced vocabulary in Cantonese. Parents never were able to learn much English. She reported that everyone ended up frustrated about the inability to communicate between parents and kids. Also, written Cantonese has some characters that Mandarin just does not have. Northerners who go to HK have to learn them to read GK newspapers (or at least has to until the Communists demolished all freedom in HK). [/quote]
