Cantonese Vocabulary

Many people have stated that Cantonese is too difficult for foreigners to learn. However, there are also many people who are successfully learning the language. What is their trick? There really is no magic formula to learning the language. The biggest obstacle to overcome is to find the proper learning material, and to then build up your Cantonese vocabulary.

Learning new sets of Cantonese words each week will help you to speed up your learning. Not only will you be better able to express yourself, but you will also have a better understanding of the conversations going on around you. Your language lessons will become greatly simplified the more Cantonese words that you familiarize yourself with. Learning the core material of your lessons, including grammar and pronunciation, will be simplified by building up your Cantonese vocabulary.

The speed at which native Cantonese speakers talk will seem very fast to you at first. However, by increasing your understanding of Cantonese words and common Cantonese phrases, you will be able to piece together the general meaning of conversations with time. Eventually, conversations in Cantonese will become increasingly familiar to you so that, one day, you will be able to participate in more advanced conversations with native speakers.

In order to build up your base of words, it is essential to own a good Cantonese dictionary. Whenever you stumble across an unfamiliar word, look it up in your dictionary and then add it to your list of words to memorize.
