Discover Cantonese The Straightforward Way On Your Own iPhone 4

By Dean Healey


Cantonese is one of the most widely voiced dialects of the Chinese language having an estimated 71 million speakers worldwide. Most Cantonese speakers are usually in the southeastern part of China for instance in Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan, Hong Kong and Macau. Chinese migration with other places in Asia, America and European countries had spread the language beyond the borders of China, and is also extensively spoken among the Chinese communities there.

Learning this excellent regional Chinese dialect is critical especially for expatriates residing in Hong Kong, Macau as well as in other places where it's the lingua franca. For tourists traveling to Hong Kong and Macau, learning a word or two of the dialect is surely an advantage, although really not a necessity, but interacting with the natives is undoubtedly a big plus.

Mastering Cantonese demands formal training and audio- visual study tools. Nevertheless, for those who don't have the luxury of time or even the ways to undertake a formal class, there is certainly one good alternative in learning the dialect in your own time and convenience. This is possible as long as you have an Apple iPhone with you. In fact, now you can download from the App Store the uTalk HD-Cantonese application. This app is quite interactive and entertaining to use. Lessons are divided into 9 categories for instance First Words, which explains how you can greet, say yes or no, say thank you and many more. Other classifications also include Food, Colors, Phrases, Body, Numbers, Time, Shopping and Countries. One of the remarkable features of this app is that you could record your voice as you communicate in Cantonese and listen afterwards to see if you'd said things properly the way in which native speakers do. It also has a series of games which range from easy, moderate and hard that may test your knowledge on what you'd just learned so far. This application is highly suggested and is a superb additional reference device for serious learners of Cantonese.

The iPhone is really an important learning device for all linguists and polyglots. Not only will the iPhone enable its users to communicate, it's also a fantastic method of amusement and studying. With these amazing advantages that the Apple iPhone bring, wouldn't it be a brilliant idea to give it the best protection from unfortunate circumstances in your life for example theft, unauthorized phone call use and damages caused by spills, immersions and accidents? In fact, it's possible. When you have a comprehensive iPhone insurance policy with you, all of your apprehensions from these exigencies are actually things of the past.

Just for an affordable premium, all models of the Apple iPhone, purchased inside the United Kingdom, are qualified for a completely extensive i Phone insurance service that does not only shields your Apple iPhone from any mishaps inside United Kingdom, but in addition anywhere in the world. Aside from its global coverage, all our iPhone 4 insurance policyholders are eligible for an Extended Warranty cover that gives an extension of their recent policy period of time. Along with all of these unbelievable services on your mind, wouldn't it be a worthy purchase to make the soonest feasible time?
