Wednesdays, 5:30pm to 7:30pm Wednesday 15 October to Wednesday 17 December

Our online Cantonese course in Sydney will teach you the basics of the culturally rich Cantonese language.

Cantonese is the language of Hong Kong and southern mainland China. These beginners Cantonese lessons will introduce you to the Cantonese language and teach you how to communicate in Cantonese with simple vocabulary and basic sentences. You will be able to communicate in day to day situations and have some small talk. It is a tonal language, so these Cantonese classes will focus on how to recognise the different tones that can change the meaning of words and sounds. Additionally, our Cantonese lessons will teach you common characters of the written language and help you gain a better understanding of the Cantonese culture.

At the end of this online Cantonese course for beginners, you will be equipped with important language skills that will have you on your way to mastering the basics, thereby improving your work skills.
