GENERAL CANTONESE - FOUNDATION LEVEL

Our Foundation Level course is specifically designed for people who live in Hong Kong , yet have no background in Cantonese, and wish to learn some daily expressions and practical language that can be put to use right away.

The emphasis is on developing listening comprehension and oral communication skills, with a view to encouraging you to speak Cantonese in everyday situations, and to pick words up from your everyday contact with Cantonese speakers around you.

Topics include: meeting people; countries and nationalities; numbers, days of the week, months of the year, and dates; telling the time and daily routines; interests and leisure activities; likes and dislikes; going places and using public transport / taxis; eating out; and shopping, prices and bargaining.

By the end of the course, you will be able to socialise with friends or colleagues, and to meet most of your basic daily needs, such as: giving directions to taxi-drivers; ordering meals in restaurants; communicating in the shops or at the market; and finding your way around Hong Kong .
