i can speak (and read) cantonese but my enunciation is poor, as i do not have a good understanding of the six tones. i have listened to online audio, but still have a hard time differentiating between the 4th and 6th tones. i have also asked my local colleagues, but as they are native speakers they probably have not had to make the effort to distinguish between the tones while learning the language. it's still very haphazard and hit or miss for me, as compared to how it is with hanyu pinyin, and i want to get it right this year. is there anyone here who is familiar with cantonese tones and can help me with them, in exchange for a drink or a meal? please e-mail me.
