If I want to learn cantonese, which written language will I learn? Mandarin?

I know Cantonese and Mandarin are different languages. I also know that Cantonese uses traditional in Hong Kong. However, how do books in Hong Kong look like? Do they look exactly the same as in Taiwan (traditional mandarin), or how do they look like?

Porqué las universidades en México son así?

A las universidades privadas en México no les interesa que el alumno aprenda. Solo les interesa cobrar. Por eso no les interesa si el maestro realmente enseña, o si en realidad sabe del tema. Lo único que les interesa es cobrar. Lo mismo en las patito, como en las universidades mas caras.

Sin embargo, en las universidades públicas en México no les interesa ni cobrar ni que el alumno aprenda. Es mas, lo que más les interesa es que el alumno no esté allí. Todo en la universidad pública mexicana esta diseñado para evitar que el alumno entre, o ya entrando, para evitar su permanencia.

Porque pasa esto?

I took a Polish language test and it says I'm at elementary level in Polish. Will Polish people understand me if I talk to them in Polish?

What can I do? I want to learn Polish, but I'm afraid I'm never going to use it

I'm past the age where you learn the language to go to college. Also, I don't see myself working for a Polish company or anything. In this scenario, would learning it be useless?

Should you learn a language you're not interested in?

Sometimes I have a feeling, like I should learn a foreign language. But the problem is, I'm not really interested in it. However, this feeling is because I feel like stupid or disadvantaged for not learning this language, I have no interest in learning.

What should I do? Should I learn it even if I'm not interested or should I try to convice myself that learning languages is useless?

I've been told that many of the great literary works of China have been written in Classical Chinese.

So imagine I learn Classical Chinese to a high level. Will I be able to go to a bookstore in China and buy physical copies of these books in Classical Chinese? Or will they all be in Modern Chinese?

Is there a way to buy physical copies of these works in Classical Chinese in China?

It happens to me quite often, that I think one word has one tone, for example, the 2nd tone, and it turns out it had the 4th tone. It happens all the time. Even if I try to memorize the word, in my head it sounds different, it sounds with the 2nd tone, but no, it has the 4th tone.

This happens with many words, how do you deal with this?
