Those of you who attended Alex's Wednesday class will have probably heard of his Cantonese class which is taught at AAARI on Fridays. But AAARI is more than just a group that although unrelated to us, is being very helpful to spreading Cantonese as a language and culture.
It is a considerable non-profit founded by the CUNY (City University of New York) college system. AAARI, or the Asian American Asian Research Institute, conducts a wide and amazingly relevant interesting research on topics important to almost all the people on this website and Americans in general.
AAARI has played host to dozens of lectures on topics just as diverse, but all tying back to issues critical to the Asian community. These lectures are recorded in video files with audio for posterity and the interest of anyone who could not attend them. Here are three recorded lectures selected for their specific relevance to many elements taught in our Cantonese classes.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Please note that since these are large video files with good visual fidelity and audio sound quality, users should have a stable broadband connection. Those who use download managers such as Getright should take not to drain too much of AAARI's bandwidth as a courtesy.
