Some language problems in Guangdong and Hong Kong

1. 99% of the young people in Guangdong nowadays can speak Mandarin, because the school regulations require that classes be conducted in Mandarin. As for whether they speak standard or not, that's another story, of course you must be able to understand, I don't know if you've ever watched a TV program in Taiwan, nowadays the young people speak Mandarin pretty much the same way, surely they can speak it, but they won't roll their tongue.

2. If you are a little older, you may have a harder time understanding what you are saying. Because the older generation was not forced to promote Mandarin at that time. But usually if you do business is certainly more or less will be a little Mandarin, otherwise it will not be mixed

3. Now in Guangdong business outsiders are very to come, may be more than the locals, so, in the general business district may be your chance to meet the outsiders than the locals more than the locals.

4. This nasty road will not be messed up. Unless you do something that other people don't really like, such as spitting, talking and arguing loudly in a big public ****ing place, talking loudly on the phone, throwing garbage around, etc.. Of course, due to cultural differences, may want to think of everyone and their neighbors at home as well as talking so natural may be more difficult, after all, there are differences in culture, the idea of things are different

5. go to Hong Kong, because Hong Kong is an autonomous region is not affected by the mainland's mandatory push genealogy, so Hong Kong, in addition to the university outside of the classroom and what is still the use of Cantonese + English, so comparatively speaking, Hong Kong's people's Putonghua is worse than that of the Cantonese

6. Hong Kong is an autonomous region and is not governed by the mainland system. Hong Kong was colonized by Britain for more than 150 years without changing the local official language, let alone trying to change someone's official language in just 10 years after the handover, it's unlikely.

7. If we go on, we are going to hurt the peace. On the issue of Cantonese. The controversy over the state's mandatory push for genealogy can be seen by doing your own search online, the more the state tries to erase the local culture, the more people react.

Finally, I wish you a pleasant journey
