Complete Cantonese

Learners who want to study Cantonese on their own will find this course structured to build skills step by step. It moves from first principles to a level where readers can understand, speak and write the language with growing confidence. The material is organised into 24 chapters, each built around a theme. Within every chapter, key sentence patterns appear in realistic conversations, and grammar is introduced slowly so that its more difficult points are easier to absorb. Practice exercises in each chapter cover listening, speaking, reading and writing. Sidebars on contemporary culture describe recent social developments, giving learners a sense of how life in Cantonese-speaking communities has changed.
