“How many” depends on “for What”.

One never learns enough characters, so we have 活到老，学到老（You learn while you live).
In the campaigns to eliminate illiteracy in China after the Liberation , 1500 - 2000 characters
was the goal.

I thought the goal was 26.

It’s just like English, not everyone will be able to learn every single word of the language. I
can’t quantify how many English words I know, but I know more than enough to read a newspaper,
academic paper, and writing a high level essay in university. So what is my point? I think the
number of characters or words a person needs to know depends on what their objective is.

Recently I have become enamored by the idea of studying Cantonese. I have already been studying
Mandarin several years and consider myself upper-intermediate, perhaps bordering on advanced in
some areas.

I’ve checked out a few materials on Cantonese to look at, and it has frustrated me that no
English-language materials I’ve found let me capitalize on already (more or less) knowing
Mandarin. For example, no books I’ve found, including dictionaries, print characters, which annoys
me to death! I know they’re out there. They must be. I have seen some Chinese-language books on
Cantonese, but I think I would prefer to use one that uses Yale romanization for Cantonese, if
such a thing exists.

Anyway, does anyone know some good resources for studying Cantonese that are especially good for
those who already know Mandarin?

Hi, would anyone have the script (in chinese, hopefully simplified) for Hero, Crouching Tiger
Hidden Dragon, or House of Flying Daggers?

Thanks!

I know that sometimes stores in NA has sell script from tv/movie.

I’ve never heard that in Chinese tv/movie drama.

Just curious, what do you need the scripts for?

…..Do you have the movie with you? may be pause the write down the script? ( =.= that’s the only
method I can think of)

trien27 -

You mean the whole movie script, with all the dialog and everything else? I doubt they sell that.
But some websites might post it online. Just try to do a search. Besides, it’s illegal to sell
scripts without the permission of those involved in producing these films. Are you sure you still
want them? All I know is Ang Lee filmed “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”.

NOTE: It might be hard to get any of them in the Chinese language (putonghua/Mandarin), due to
censorship in China.

I haven’t used them myself so can’t vouch for accuracy or completeness, but check out the
attachments here.

They’re all Chinese movies, no? Heroes and HoFD both had theatrical releases here, not sure about
CTHD.

They do, actually. I’ve seen scripts for both Brokeback Mountain and Se, jie for sale in a
bookstore here. Don’t know if there are online versions, but it looks like this is actually
something you can buy.
