Synopsis
Excerpt from Cantonese Made Easy: A Book of Simple Sentences in the Cantonese Dialect, With Free and Literal Translations, and Directions for the Rendering of English Grammatical Forms in Chinese
Tms little book is meant to supply a want. The Author has heard a beginner in Chinese sadly lamenting the difficulty he had in the use of his phrase-book to know what the Chinese words really meant. Before him and before many a learner, there appear on the opened pages of his book sentences in English and sentences in Chinese. He reads the English and his Chinese teacher reads the Chinese over to him until he learns the sounds. By dint of memory he learns that a certain English sentence is expressed in Chinese by certain Chinese words, which he supposes are the equivalents of the English words; but as soon as he commences to analyse the two sentences - to place them side by side, he finds that there seems to be very little similarity between the two. The one often has more words by far than the other; there are no numbers, no moods, no tenses, or but halting expedients to represent them, which are well nigh unintelligible to him and the use of his dictionary, at first, affords him but little assistance in his attempts to pick asunder the component parts of a Chinese sentence, for either he does not find the word that is given in his phrase-book, or he is embarrassed by the multiplicity of renderings for one word.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a comprehensive guide to the Cantonese dialect, a language spoken by millions in Southern China. The author, an expert in the subject, acknowledges the common frustrations learners face when trying to bridge the gap between written English and Cantonese. He highlights the inherent challenges of direct translation, the importance of conversational fluency over academic formality, and the often overlooked significance of tones in achieving proper pronunciation. The author presents a clear explanation of the intricacies of Cantonese tones, discussing their historical development and their essential role in distinguishing meaning between words that share similar sounds. He argues that a focus on colloquial Cantonese, emphasizing conversational idioms and everyday expressions, will provide a solid foundation for both speaking and understanding the language. The book's insights into Cantonese pronunciation and grammar serve as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to master this rich and complex language. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
