To be frank, the difficulties of learning Chinese characters for mother tongue speaker is not memorizing the sound, but memorizing the shape. As you hear the sound of a certain word frequently, you link it up with the shape, and you do not even think about how to pronounce it.
As a Southern Chinese, many of us are quite resentful that the spectrum of Chinese character use in literal Chinese are mainly from Mandarin. The Shanghai-ese, Min Nan and Cantonese has their own writing system. We use a vastly different lexicon compared to the mandarin.
There are a few HK Macau guy here. Even though they may sound jingo-istic, many of them resented invasion of Mandarin.
But that does not mean they want to Romanize Cantonese. They still like the writing system.
The Cantonese, Min Nan (Taiwanese) and Shanghai-ese could have go independent and 1000 years later, their lect situation will be the same as Vietnamese.
more than 10,000 Cantonese go on street to protest against Mandarin invasion.
