Cantonese is a language which is totally different from Mandarin. Hong Kong people speak Cantonese, but Chinese mainlanders speak Mandarin.

The pronunciation, culture, tones, style is very different,e.g. Cantonese has 9 tones and Mandarin has only 4 tones. Also, Cantonese is more variable.^^

The [n] and [L] sounds i, too, have problems with.... 0.o

I think most native speakers of any language do this. It's natural to slur some sounds and to not enunciate each and every word. In the case of cantonese, it just sounds better sometimes, easier to say, and less painful for the ears. For example, nei is very annoying to me when I hear it, lei sounds a lot better. I notice native mando speakers do this all the time also. All that matters is that we can understand each other.
