Llevarse bien/mal con alguien (+ Transcript 📄) - B1 / Español intermedio

There are 6 tones in Cantonese, tone 1 to 6, let's split them into 3 groups.
Group 1: tone1/ Group 2: tone2 and 5/ Group 3: tone3, 4 and 6
Group 1:
Tone 1 is the easiest tone to find, it equals to stressed syllables in English or other Western languages, for example, father has 2 syllables, one is fa, the other is ther, the first one fa is stressed, because it's higher in pitch, this sound exactly equals to tone 1 in Cantonese.For example I want to pronounce: tik1 (means tick in Cantonese), let's pronounce ticking first, ticking has 2 syllables, the first is stressed, so ti is tik1.
Group 2:
Tone 2 and 5 are both rising tones and are the same in question tones, like WHAT? WHERE? WHO? So to find these 2 tones, you just need to pronounce "WHAT?" then you got the correct tones!
However, what are the differences between tone 2 and 5? Well, you want to be very strict, tone 2 is relatively higher compared to tone 5, but actually when local people are speaking, to speak faster, they will omit details while talking in conversations, so you can just treat these 2 tones as the same tone.For example, if you want to pronounce hou2 (means good in Cantonese), we pronounce WHAT? first, then use the pitch of WHAT? you can find hou2 very easily.
Group3:
Similarly, just like tone 2 and 5, because these 3 tones are so close to each other and quite familiar too, so when talking in conversations, they sound just like the same tone. These 3 tones are just like our unstressed syllables, let's take father as the example again. The second syllable ther is not stressed, and this equals to tone 3, 4 or 6 in Cantonses.For example, if you want to pronounce daap3 (means take transportation in Cantonese), you can produce Linda first, Lin is stressed and da isn't, here da is our tone 3 for daap.

How to find correct Cantonese tones

¿Cuáles son los principales prejuicios sobre los inmigrantes que existen en tu país?

Migrante es el término más general para referirse a toda aquella persona que abandona el lugar en que habita o llega a otro destino para establecerse en él.

Con motivo de los flujos migratorios que afectan en la actualidad a millones de personas en todo el mundo, en los medios de comunicación ha surgido la duda sobre la palabra que conviene emplear para referirse a todas ellas de manera general.

A este respecto, cabe señalar que el sustantivo emigrante pone el foco en la persona que abandona su hogar, mientras que inmigrante hace referencia a esa misma persona, pero desde la perspectiva de quien ya ha llegado a su nuevo destino para radicarse en él.

De modo más amplio, el Diccionario de la lengua española define migrante como ‘que migra’, esto es, ‘que se traslada desde el lugar en que habita a otro diferente’, definición general con la que es posible designar a todo aquel que se desplaza de un lugar a otro.

the adjective.
