True..... Half of the people I know got lower grades for Mandarin and Canto. than they did for English.... Mandarin is easier than Cantonese though, there are nine tones in Cantonese, as opposed to the four tones of mandarin. So the Canto. word for 'try' [a] can become the word for human waste... Charming...
