Cantonese Private Tuition (11/2/2019 – 4/2/2026)

I spent almost 8 years studying Cantonese at HKLS.

I started with the group classes which gave me a very good base. Once I felt the pace of the classes weren’t suiting me, I switched to private tuition, which worked really well. The teachers were happy to help me explore the language on my own path & accommodate my way of learning. Super flexible!

After 8 years in Hong Kong, I can’t imagine how limited my experience here would have been if I wasn’t able to converse with Hong Kongers in their own language, it really opens Hong Kong up & that’s an invaluable experience.

The classes are informal, but that suits Cantonese well, as there is no internationally recognized standard & the language is passed down orally.

Hi folks! I just wanted to let you all know that I started volunteering this week with a union here in San Francisco. I’m helping them outreach to Chinese workers. The Union lost their Cantonese speaking staff person almost a year ago and they haven’t been able to find a replacement. So I have been talking with the workers and yesterday i helped translate at a meeting. The meeting was conducted in Spanish English and Cantonese.

It was all really difficult for me, but the workers were really happy to have someone who could speak some Cantonese and they understood most of what I was
