Then you've got some great resource suggestions here for learning it! Here are some more resources for you. I'm sure you could find some more resources in Mandarin. Feel free to contact me (in English or Mandarin) if you want some more tips. As a Mandarin speaker you have a great advantage, and you've got plenty of native speakers to practice with, too!

Actually I can understand Cantonese perfectly, but I just cannot prouounce them correctly.
I am more interested in improving my English. Maybe we can be language partners?

I met a lot of people like that when I lived in Foshan. It's mostly lack of practice. If you made an effort to start speaking and asked a friend for pointers, I'm sure you would learn rapidly.

Sorry, if you're the kind of person who speaks Mandarin to everyone even though you live in a Cantonese-speaking area, I don't think we'd get along very well. I wish you the best of luck with your English, though.
