I love this name meaning. The idea of a cloud dumpling is cute as fuck #name #food #languages #cantonese #chinesefood #AsianFood

After my request for help learning Cantonese, I've got stuck into Mango Languages. I don't think it will still be free for me after 2 weeks but it's a good length for a trial.

My next question is, how does one go about practising tones? Is it mainly listening and recognising the tones that will later help me with speaking?

I'm expecting it to take a long time but that's what I love about learning new things.
