Cantonese Language Program Objective

The Boston Language Institute, New England’s leading language school, offers Cantonese language courses to individuals and companies. The quality of instruction provided in our Cantonese language classes are on a par with the best native Cantonese language school.

We consider it to be the major goal of our program to have you use Cantonese in as large a variety of real-life situations as possible. To that end, our Cantonese courses have been designed to build fluency in both the spoken and the written language. Communication in a warm and relaxed environment is an important feature of our programs, as is homework, which includes exercises for review and practice of the material taught in class. Moreover, by keeping the class size limited to twelve students, we ensure that each student will be able to actively participate.

Cantonese Level 1

Introduces spoken Cantonese and aims to provide beginning students with a practical command of the language. Students learn to read some characters, but the emphases of this course are proper pronunciation and the development of conversational proficiency. Among the topics introduced are tonal recognition and pronunciation, simple sentence structure, interrogatives, counting and telling time. Upon completion of this course students should be able to introduce themselves, exchange greetings and converse simply on a number of everyday topics.

Cantonese Level 2

Upon completion of this course, students can expect to be able to discuss a broader range of topics with greater precision and confidence. Building upon the basic foundation provided in Level One, more advanced topics are introduced including the use of comparatives and the future tense. Students can expect to improve dramatically their vocabulary through participation in structured oral activities.
