 very good class

 Alex was enthusiastic and fun to learn with. She corrects and gives examples of how to apply the corrections made. She has very good pronunciation and diction and it really adds to the quality of her teaching. Her classes are not merely a Cantonese language lesson but insight and into asian culture and modes of thinking.

About me - English

I am always fascinated by my mother tongue Cantonese: the vivid metaphors, the lively expressions, the wit in the language! You share the same view with me, and want to have a flavour of it? Great! Yet you are not quite sure where to start, or you encounter some hiccups here and there along the way? No worries, I am here to help!

I obtained Masters of Arts in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language because I want to assist as many people as possible learn Cantonese, simple as that! My teaching style : I want to make it fun and useful, so I will explore various topics and materials, from newspapers to YouTube, from song to drama, as long as I see fit. And I will work in a communicative way. Grammar work is done from time to time.

If you want to learn Cantonese or about Hong Kong and the language with me, feel free to contact to me.

Teaching Approach

Communicative approaches are adopted, but if you would like to drill on some grammar rules, I can also customise the materials for it.

初級廣東話以發音、文法、地道講法為主,主要聆聽及口語練習

中級加上更多香港地道文化的材料,讓同學深入淺出了解廣東話詞語及用法

高級學生需要有組織較複雜意念的能力,所以會有長篇幅的閱讀、紀錄片/較長的影片理解練習,還有自由演講環節,當中加插語法、句法練習,務求學生可以有信心以廣東話作深入溝通
