I’m going to Macau this August (studying for 5 months)… what advise can you give me when interacting with the people in Macau?

What should I use? Cantonese or Mandarin?

(Could you help me as well =P)

Domou! =)

Hi buxom90,

In Macao, people speak English and Cantonese, after Macao came back to China in 1999, the local government there started to promote Mandarin. But I don’t think the Mandarin level there is as good as it’s in Mainland

Hi! It was nice of you to reply so quickly thus it is just right that I reply just as quick =P

Thanks for the info! Although I do have some Mandarin-speaking companions with me but they are students as well. Do you think that Mandarin will suffice or should I really study basic Cantonese “for the meantime”?

Bonjour~!
