I lived in Hong Kong for 1968 to 1970. I was not motivated to learn Cantonese. Half the time I was a full-time Canadian government language learner studying Mandarin. I had to scrape around to find Mandarin resources. I learned Cantonese in Vancouver much later.

For you, Steve, it was your main job in Hong Kong to learn Mandarin, and you were being paid to do it, is that correct? If I'm not mistaken about that, do you consider those things to have been significant factors in your motivation to learn Mandarin?
