My dad can speak three Chinese dialects. I'd be very excited to hear my family speak Hakka Chinese and when I visited Hong Kong I thought Cantonese was such a colourful language. I thought Vietnamese sounded very expressive too. Unfortunately I only learned English and very basic mandarin growing up, but I sorely want to reach fluency in my twenties. However, mandarin for some reason sounds just as dull as English does to my ears. Is this because I'm used to it? Or the other dialects I hear have more tones? At this point of learning (~HSK2) it feels like mandarin is very restricted in its expressiveness. It would help to find reasons to fall in love with the language though!
