sifushano here (well, here physically being the land downunder), actually for the best part of the last week (this memrise community portal, not the land downunder) …
我想學講而讀廣東話。I would like to learn how to speak and read the Cantonese language.
I am also interested in putting together some Cantonese memrise courses, the challenge there being that I am but a raw student.
Welcome to all and see you around the forums 
Why cantonese? Do you already know mandarin Chinese?
Hi @sircemcloud,
Initially my interest was in the Chinese characters themselves. Looking for the reason behind some of the more common ones. It became obvious that a lot of the meaning was lost in the simplified characters now used in Putonghua/Mandarin. Now I understand that this is only roughly 2,500 of the more than 130,000 characters, many obscure and unused today. But my journey had commenced. It was then to either be Taiwanese: who speak Mandarin but use traditional characters for writing, or, Cantonese: a language spoken by many Chinese people living outside of China. This is due to the fact that Guangzhou was a port city and many Chinese people travelled to far lands, including the one I call home. Also, Hong Kong is a viable choice to live and work in and it is still a Cantonese speaking economic region, despite the best efforts of the Chinese Government. I love their defiance and it bears supporting 
I am certain that 國語 will get a look in on my memrise course list before too long.

I’m sure most of you are aware I have been invited to this new forum and have been pretty active and supportive.

I assume the news forums are not (yet?) linked to our Memrise accounts. Am I correct?

It certainly doesn’t seem like they’re linked, especially considering that we have to manually input our Memrise rank. xD
Depends on what you mean by “linked”, I guess?
We do seem to automatically get the same username here as on memrise.
However, there doesn’t seem to be a way to refer to or link to memrise users who haven’t signed up themselves for this forum. And there doesn’t seem to be a clickable link from your profile here to your memrise profile.
