How to speak in Kansai dialect


For someone who has studied standard Japanese, how hard is it to learn Kansai
dialect? Is there a lot to learn, or not much? What are the basic things to
learn in order to speak in this dialect? All I know so far is that the
sentence ending particles are different.

Many people who spent years studying a language something not being able to
learn anything. Your question's logic is not well formed.

> Is there a lot to learn, or not much?

Re-learn bits of grammar, vocabulary, and change completely your intonation.

> What are the basic things to learn in order to speak in this dialect?

なんでやねん！ もうかりまっか？ おおきに！ And fluency in standard Japanese too, because unless
you're Daniel Kahl or someone like him, you'd better be able speak in standard
Japanese when you're not with your friends anymore…

There's a lot more… If you want to have an idea of what it's like, read any
volume of ナニワ金融道
