JOHN FRYER CHINESE LIBRARY

PREl^ACE TO FIRST EDITION,

There being a desire for more lessons in Cantonese Colloquial than the fifteen contained in ' Cantonese Made Easy,' the Author has prepared this book. It has been his endeavour to make it priictical. Conversations which those desirous of I speaking Cantonese are likely to wish to engage in have been compiled. It is no I doubt a difficult matter to launch in medias res, especially with a language like Chinese the learner will, however, find that iu this book lie need not expect to have his breath taken away by a sudden plimge, as the first few conversations are as easy as ifc is almost possible to make them while endeavouring at the same I time to ensure coiisecativcness, to keep the idea of a conversation np, and not I to present merely scraps of sentences.

This book is intended as a companion volume to ' Cantonese Made Easy.' All the tones, tonic marks, spelling of Chinese words in English, and diacritical marks are fully explained in the. Introduction to that book and the numbers attached to the finals refer to the list of finals near the end of that book.

The learner may find the first five or ten conversations in this book easier than the first few lessons in ' Cantonese Made Easy.' If so, it might, therefore, be a good plan for him to take these first few lessons and learn them thoroughly before beginning the first lessons in the other book. After learning thoroughly the fifty lessons in this and the fifteen in the other book, the learner onglifc to find himself the master of a pretty good vocabulary, as well as possess the knack of stringing Chinese words together on the thrend of Chinese ideas— a thread which he must remember will snap if he tries to strain it and stretch it out according to English ideas. I A glance at the table of contents will show that the conversations run over

' a variety of subjects, and it has been the author's endeavour to prevent them from being as dry as dust, and on the contrary to render the in interesting, while, i at the same time, they shall be lifelike, so that pleasure and profit may be the i result. If they should lighten the toil of the foreign traveller along the unknown I paths of Chinese ideas, and render the acquisition of the faculty of Chinese speech and thought easier to him, one great object of the book will have been accomplisliecl. Ti'iisting that it will meet with as gfcat success as its predecessor and companion volnrae, ' Cantonese Made Easy,' the author tlius sends it forth on its trial.

PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION.

The author has iiinch pleasure in being able at last to bring his lal)Oiirs on this edition of - How to Speak Cantonese , fco a conclusion for the book has been out of print for some time and iimny uinju'rics have been mado for it.

The whole book has lux'ii most caivfully -one tlii'oi 'li and revised aiul corrected. The ' variant tones,' as they have been sfvled, arc marked. The learner is referred to the Introd action of ' (Jantuuesc Mado Easy ' for a (Icscrip- tioii of these tones and uu cxplcination of the ioiiii; marks used for thetn in this series of books. In must cascH the iiu'thod of calling- attention U> Ihcm (•oiisists ill reversing the usual tonic marks and the use of iiu asu-risk. The learner should turn a deaf ear to all ,>^tatein(iufcs hy those who try Lo iiuikc out that these tones are of little ivioineiit for those wlio nttcmpt to iiiiiiiitiisc the importance of the Cant<uicso ' variant tones ' are simply ig-iioniut on the .subjecr. One instance alone will suffice to sliow tliafc attention must be paid to them. To say, fi IV o.\;nnj)lo, i.liat a man lias '^tsaii lo' lioii' when one slioiild say that lie has \sau K)^ lioii docs not convoy Llie meaning inLended at all ilic httx'r is ' to abscond,' and tlie former ' to go by ro:、.(l.. The omission of the \ ariunts often •;anscs inisapprehcnsiou sonietimos tlic listener may make a guess at the meanirif;" ol' the foreigner at ntlier times he is left entirely in the dark as to liis iiilcntion.

The English type used in this cditiuii is larger iliaii in tlie fonik'r and will doubtless prove move pleasant to ilu- 。.、.': nml I'"^s fat issuing.
