This video was recorded at the Polyglot Gathering in Berlin 2014 (www.polyglotberlin.com).
Olly Richards introduces us to the world of Cantonese, a major dialect of Chinese. The session focuses not only on the language itself, but on the rich culture of Cantonese-speaking areas such as Hong Kong. You will learn how Cantonese differs from other dialects of Chinese, historically and linguistically, and we will answer questions such as: “Is it true that Cantonese can’t be written down?”, “Just how many tones are there anyway?”, and “How can you catch crabs on a hill?”
