Description
We have a variety of classes in Cantonese designed for different people; from those who just want to brush up, are researching the language, need to learn for work or personal interests, or simply the curious.You are welcome to join the Beginner or Intermediate classes anytime in the semester but an e-mail or phone call in advance is appreciated. The classes are free as all the teachers are contributing their time, knowledge, and energy there is a suggested donation of $5 to help defray the costs of travel and teaching supplies as well as the expansion of the program. This is possibly the LARGEST collection of Cantonese learning classes outside of China proper and one we hope will continue to grow!
