Anyone Speak Mandarin Chinese?
I'm just wondering if anyone here speaks, and is willing to help me with, Mandarin Chinese. I know a little, but my main problem is with the tonal system. I'd be grateful of any help whatsoever, even if it is as basic as pointing me in the direction of a particular book or website I'd still be eternally grateful

'kay. I speak fluent-ish Cantonese. At home, it's about 3/4 Cantonese, 1/4 English to my parents. When I go back to Zhongshan, my relatives can very much tell I'd speak English all the time to everyone if I could.
As for Mandarin...yeesh. Having never lived in China, the only Mandarin I've been exposed to come from my friends. I can understand it sometimes, if I know the context in which they're speaking (and speaking veeeeerrrry slowly xD). I also learn through music but in the end, I know next to nothing.
I'm alright with pronounciation but I don't have much of a vocab.

That sounds awesome! Is there any chance you could give me any help with pronunciation? Or even Cantonese, thinking about it. I know it's not Mandarin, but I'm just as eager to learn it. It was only because more people speak Mandarin that i chose it over Cantonese anyways. :P
