When I was in primary school, My teacher tought us with Cantone and Putonghua. but I only remeber Putonghua ping yin because it is the one we use it. Cantone ping yin we had learned but has not chance to use it. I have totally forgot it.

One time I went to a restaurant in Guangzhou, when I made the order in Cantonese, the waitress even did not understand me. I have to speak Putonghua to him. When I called taxi, I have to talk with the driver in Putonghua and directed him how to arrive to my destination. It seems that Cantonese as a language is at the risk of extinction. even the food, it is alread not the typical Guangzhou tasty. spicy food is every where.
