We are currently not offering GROUP Cantonese courses this year (2022-23). If you are interested in private lessons, we can refer you to our contracted Chinese teachers. Please email us at: [email protected] for any questions or inquiries.
Cantonese is one of the major dialects in Chinese. It is spoken in Hong Kong, Singapore and many Asian countries. The earlier Chinese immigrants to the United States in the 1780’s and 1800’s were speakers of the Cantonese dialect.
There are many reasons why you might want to learn Cantonese, although it is not as popular as Mandarin. 1) If you are a Chinese American who have been living in the United States for many generations but your extended family is Cantonese, and you want to retain this tradition of knowing their language and honor your ancestry and pass on this dialect to your children, the next generation. 2) If you are an expatriate who is stationed in Hong Kong and want to get closer to the people you work with, you would want to learn this dialect as well. 3) You study Chinese poetry, such as the poems from the Tang dynasty. Many of those Tang Dynasty poems are more compatible if read in the Cantonese dialect.
Last, but not least, 4) If you are someone who enjoys eating Dim Sum at Chinese restaurants, you may want to familiarize yourself with the names of all those Dim Sum dishes. You can easily order the right dish as the cart passes by.
