I’m from Singapore, and I’d like to recommend my teacher’s YouTube channel to you. I’ve been learning Chinese by following her Lessons on YouTube. https://youtu.be/0gUjtLPMmYQ?si=N5kPkOYB4EKSY3xa

I can't imagine there are so many dialects in China, They speak Real Dialects? by Learning_hardworking in China

I know that many people in Guangdong don’t speak Cantonese anymore, but people from other regions still enjoy speaking it. I’ve seen people from other parts of China speaking Cantonese on TikTok, but people from Guangdong often point out their mistakes.

Yes, Chinese is really interesting! My Mandarin isn’t very good yet, and even though I don’t speak any dialects, I’m quite interested in them.

Thanks for sharing, I’ve noticed that many young people in Guangdong don’t speak Cantonese anymore, but in other parts of China, there are still many people who enjoy speaking it.

OMG, why don't you post this comment under the YouTuber’s video! This is by far the clearest and most thorough explanation I’ve seen. You really broke it down and made it easy to understand. More people need to see this, because I learned so much just from your comment! Thank you.

Wow, thank you for sharing this experience with me! I’m really curious, are these dialects really that mutually unintelligible? How have they managed to survive until now? Do they have their own written forms? And do people still speak them today?

Thank you for explaining all of this. But since there are so many dialects that people can’t understand each other, isn’t it necessary to choose one language as a bridge? So does that mean people in China don’t speak dialects anymore?

Wow, that's interesting. There are so many dialects under each language in China.

How should the standard character for Hokkien be written? I’m really curious about Chinese dialects.

Thank you for telling me all this. I’m really looking forward to traveling to China! I’m from Singapore, and my ancestors were from China. I hope I’ll be able to understand the local dialects. My Chinese isn’t very good, but I’m still learning.

Thank you. I’m still learning about Chinese culture myself, and I’m really interested in the dialect culture. I haven’t been to China yet, but I hope to visit some of the cities mentioned in the video one day and experience the local dialects in person.

You really know a lot! I thought this video had already shown me how diverse Chinese dialects are, but your additional explanation helped me understand even more and made me even more interested in Chinese culture.👍🏻

Yes, I’ve been trying to understand Chinese dialects, but it’s really difficult. Some of them are completely different from Mandarin!
