About this course
Cantonese is one of the several hundred variety of languages that make up the Chinese Language. It is the common language adopted by people living in the Guangdong Province of China, and is also spoken in other countries such as Hong Kong, Malaysia and even Singapore.
At Oxford Language Academy, we offer a variety of Cantonese courses that are sure to meet your requirements in learning Cantonese. These include part-time group or private conversational Cantonese language classes for adults and corporate language training for businesses.
All of our Cantonese Courses are taught by native speaking Cantonese Teachers from Hong Kong. By listening to our Cantonese teachers enunciate the words, and to imitate them as you learn, it will definitely help you in your articulation of words.
English is used as the medium of instruction.
Students are not required to learn Chinese characters. The Yale romanization of Cantonese is widely used in our course materials. This, together with the use of English translations, will aid students in their learning of spoken Cantonese. The course will also illustrate interpersonal communication etiquette and formalities on how to address others. This class emphasizes the spoken aspect of the Cantonese language, and will not cover the written portion of Cantonese.

Corporate Language Training
With globalisation bringing people from various parts of the world together, it is crucial for businesses to adapt and be prepared for new opportunities that may come with this change in environment. Customers coming from different parts of the world may not always understand English, which may result in a language barrier between your business and your potential partners or clients.
