Our native-speaking qualified Cantonese teachers can guide you and your group at your work or at home, at a time convenient to you. Classes can take place on any day of the week - even weekends - morning, afternoon or evening. If needs be, if meeting at your office or home is not suitable, you can take your lessons at the trainer's office. Study materials are supplied for you.
Cantonese lessons of this type are broader and are aimed towards students with a variety of requirements. While all beginner level students will cover survival Cantonese - needed for short visits to countries where English isn't widely spoken, or if you wish to 'go local'; those studying Cantonese usually go in different directions at this point, depending on what they need. Those who have benefitted from these Cantonese classes have been those investing in or buying property overseas, those married to overseas nationals, people setting off on a round-the-world trip, enthusiasts in Cantonese culture, and those enthusiastic to pass a specific exam in Cantonese.
Those who would benefit the most from these Cantonese tutorials are those who feel they need to learn Cantonese to help them out in their business lives. For starters, learning salutations and business etiquette is integral; once these have been practiced then reading and writing lessons can start. Typical studiers have been those involved in international import/export, negotiations and acquisitions, those in multinational companies requiring another language, and those working in any way with international governments and relevant administration. Just our simplest lesson for beginners will have students finishing the lessons with basic telephone and e-mail Cantonese, as well as survival Cantonese should a visit to the country be necessary.
Lessons in Cantonese are also accessible for 2 or more studying in tandem (Two-to-One Cantonese Lesson or Small Group In-Company Cantonese Lesson). All those involved must have around the same experience of the language, similar needs of areas of proficiency, and must be able to work at the same time and place. Bookings must be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advise classes of more than 6-8 people, although In-Company Taster Cantonese sessions can be run with as many as 12 people.
Cantonese Testimonials
"I love going to my Italian lessons. Every week we cover new topics and I get to practice with my Italian friends outside of class. I don't think they can believe how fast I've improved thanks to Listen & Learn, and neither can I!"
Babylon
With a population just over 200,000, Babylon, New York is able to crack the list of the 100 most populous cities in the United States. Best known for the Fire Island area at its southernmost tip which hosts a large summer community of gay and lesbian vacationers, Babylon has seen growth and prosperity in other areas in recent years, including: technology spending and large infrastructure projects that have greatly enhanced the quality of life there. Babylon is nowhere near as big as Manhattan, but still boasts a relatively high median income of over $60,000 per year thanks to many residents who have achieved financial success in New York City and then chosen to take up residence in this peaceful town. 10% of Babylon is made up of Hispanic or Latino individuals making Spanish the second language of choice in local schools and the business community. And with the international airports of New York City close by, it's easy to jet off to exotic foreign locales after you learn a new language in Babylon.
