There are a couple instances where the two words are not interchangeable, but they are for the most part.
Just make sure you never say 中语

In terms of grammar needed for basic conversation, not really. As you get more advanced though, it does get difficult because there are many different things you can do, and its hard to know what exactly you can't do.
Pronunciation and writing/reading are, however, difficult for speakers of most languages.

Jaja, Cantonese is perhaps one of the most tonal among all Chinese dialects. It has 9 tones and 3 base tone levels! Quote:
Technically speaking, currently there is no so-called 'standard' romanizations among the Chinese-speaking world of the Greater China(Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and other Chinese-speaking regions or overseas Chinese communities). Pinyin (aka Hanyu Pinyin romanization systems for Mandarin Chinese) is the current standard system used in mainland China and adopted by the Singapore governments, too. In Taiwan, I think they use Gwoyeu Romatzyh (aka GB, literally "National Language Romanization") or Mandarin Phonetic Symbols II(aka GR 2), but don't know for sure. In Hong Kong, our official language is actually Cantonese rather than Mandarin, and we mainly use two or three types of romanizations: HK Government Cantonese Romanisation, Jyutping or Standard Cantonese Pinyin. Among the overseas Chinese speakers, some people, especially the older generations, may still use other systems such as Wade–Giles, or Yale Mandarin(Cantonese). Quote:
Kinda? Complicated? Those words are two mild, lol! The measure words are totally daunting. They drove me crazy and they still do... @Jessica Phew, I didn't even manage to finish the whole thread(I really tried). Great work you are doing here, Jessica!~You rock!
