1, Why did you choose Hong Kong Language School?

— We visited a couple of schools and found the HK Language school to be very inviting. Also we had heard from a few people that they would recommend it.

2, How’s the school environment?

— The environment is very friendly and extremely welcoming.

3, How’s the class atmosphere?

–We thoroughly enjoyed our classes as the teachers were very helpful and patient, as well as being a lot of fun.

4, How’s your teacher?

— Our teachers were excellent, and always went out of their way to explain the things we struggled with. Was your class effective? As we are very mature age students (!) we struggled a bit with the pace, however we find that we have learned a lot and will be able to revise at our own pace now. Did you learn what you had expected? We have recieved a good foundation, and are able to converse as well as could be expected in just 4 weeks.

5, Will you come back & take more lessons? Why?

— We hope to! We feel it would be beneficial to add to what we have already learned.

6, Will you recommend Hong Kong Language School to your friends? Why?

— Of course we will recommend HK Language school to friends. Mostly because of the encouragement given and the ‘family’ atmosphere.

Cantonese Beginners Level 1 & 2 Day Time class (30/1- 24/2, 2012)

“I moved to Hong Kong recently and was looking for a Cantonese course to allow me to be more a part of life here. The Hong Kong Language School was recommended by a friend who did the intensive full-day Cantonese beginners course. I have now completed the first four weeks of the Basic Cantonese for Expatriates course. While it was a fairly intensive experience with lessons taking place each afternoon and some revision to be done each evening, I really enjoyed myself. I found the course content to be well thought through and the combination of taught classes, course book, written and spoken exercises and CD to be effective in helping me learn. Our teacher Kam was excellent. She introduced and explained vocabulary and concepts clearly and allowed plenty of time for us (there were three of us in our class) to practice and ask questions. In addition to covering the course material she responded to our many questions on vocabulary to deal with various situations. I plan to return later on this year to complete the remaining four weeks of this course. In the meantime I’m busy memorizing vocabulary and using my basic Cantonese as much as I can!!”

Cantonese Beginners Level 2 Day Time class (13/2- 24/2, 2012)

” I have previously completed a beginner course in Cantonese elsewhere, where I learned the Yale Romanization. I was keen to find another course that offered the same method, and was pleased to learn that HKLS did. I found out about HKLS on the internet – the website had a lot of information including course dates and prices. The school itself is in a convenient location, and is a pleasant environment. The class I was in had 3 students, which meant more teacher-student time per student. Kam was out teacher; she was excellent. She followed both the course outline, as well as being flexible enough to include extra things we asked for, and explained things very well – including word origins. We were given plenty of opportunity to practice pronunciation and the chance to put together sentences while getting constructive feedback. The course was well designed and develops in a logical way, the course booklets were also well developed. I was very happy with the course and teaching method.

I definitely will be doing more lessons as soon as I can arrange the time, as it is an excellent way to learn Cantonese. I would also recommend HKLS to anyone looking for a language school because it offers a variety of lesson structures (intense / part time / one-on-one), at very reasonable rates, and is a very good, attentive and friendly school.’
