Q: I live in Korea and will be travelling to China for 5 weeks during my winter vacation. I want to practice/learn Mandarin/putonghua while I am there. I still have a low conversational level in Chinese, but I haven't studied it for 5 or 6 years and I'm forgetting a lot. My main idea is to force myself to use it by travelling in China, but though I'd like to travel around, I know some places they will speak in a dialect far enough from putonghua that I might have trouble understanding when they speak (I'm not just talking about Cantonese, but even different accents distinct enough that it would make understanding hard). Where would I have trouble understanding Chinese if I know only putonghua/mandarin?
