Title says it all, I am just wondering cause I am gonna try and learn it.

I know Cantonese(粵語) is the most widely spoken language in Hong Kong.
Many Hong Kong people speak Cantonese as their first language.

Is it English or Mandarin(Putonghua普通話)?
Which language do Hong Kong people generally speak better?

I know they are both spoken, but does anyone know which of the two is spoken more on the West Coast of the U.S.? Thanks

cynthia in different kind of language

I do not know how to speak Chinese. My daughter is beginning her senior year of high school, my son is starting the 3rd grade. Their school does not offer Chinese, which I think is foolish.

I am thinking of setting aside a couple of nights a week where all three of us can learn Chinese together. I am looking for a good program that will assist us in becoming fluent speakers. I am sure that homeschoolers must know of some good programs.

I am sure it will be suggested, but we cannot afford a tutor at this time. We want to pay for one thing now that will take us far.

I am not concerned with written Chinese at this time (will be later, though). I am concerned with spoken fluency, just the way all kids learn to speak before they ever see a school book.

I think the Chinese (Mandarin) language is a hard and time consuming language to learn. How do I stay motivated and make it fun?
