Mandarin and Cantonese are two distinctive language! Most people learn Cantonese from television series and dramas. You can use a Mandarin dictionary does not meant u know how to use the Cantonese dictionary. Mandarin pronunciation are based of FOUR basic "tone", whine Cantonese have EIGHT. Please note that. Thank you.

Most people took Japanese Level 1, how many does actually continued to Level 2 and 3? But they offered few clases, but no students. Funny.

Mandarin is easy if considering the syllabus which offered, it is just like a standard one level, learn from basic, it is easy. If somebody already know mandarin well and just wanna join the class to make sure u get another guaranteed "A", please give the chance to those who really don understand mandarin and wanted to learn it.

Like psylancer, the OCBC (Org Cina Bukan Cina) XD

Being able to speak mandarin is quite a huge advantage especially in the private sector. The company that I am currently having my LI at, consists of 95% chinese and all of them are basically mandarin speakers. So yeah, you get the point.
