Dialects, Music, and Memory

Rhythmic Mandarin isn't a free resource but I thought it was certainly an amusing one. There are several demo audio samples available to listen to. I noticed a number of differences between the words common in Mandarin used in the Hong Kong vs. what I am used to from mainland Nanjing, Beijing, and Shanghai. I think they have a good idea however using music to help them to learn the language and aid the memory. It was fun to listen to anyway.
