I'm really glad that Mandarin is the most popular Chinese language. But, Cantonese is more popular in America...
Having more than 4 tones would be beyond awful. I feel like I might have a chance with 4 tones, but having like 6/9 tones like in Cantonese would be terrible, I think.
One thing I am really liking about learning other languages is that you learn more about your own language, because you have to be more conscious about the sounds, and structure.
While learning Japanese, I was more aware of certain English sounds. Like I felt like there was a missing "a" sound, that we have in English. It's similar to the "ugh" sound. Chinese has this sound, in their "e".
