You and your group can be trained by our native speaker qualified Cantonese teachers, and can meet at your place of work or home at a time convenient to you. Tutorials can take place any day of the week, including weekends, and can be scheduled for the morning, afternoon or evening. If your home or office is not suitable for you, you can attend the lesson at the teacher's offices. You will be provided with all relevant lesson materials.
These lessons in Cantonese are wider-ranging in their nature, and are driven towards students who have a variety of differing needs. All beginner students will expect to study enough survival Cantonese to get them through a short visit to the country, those staying on with the lesson can progress differently, depending on their individual requests and requirements. Whether you are buying property in a foreign country, married to a foreign national, planning a round-the-world trip, interested in Cantonese history and culture, or if you simply want to attain a particular level of Cantonese, this is the choice for you.
Cantonese lessons of this type are aimed towards those that need to learn Cantonese to aid them with their employment. For those just starting out, it is integral to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and reading and writing can be adopted once the simple precepts are out of the way. Success has come from students who are involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, those seeking jobs in multinational companies, and those working with foreign colleagues, academia and bureaucracy. Just our most basic beginners lesson will have the student finishing the lesson with basic telephone/e-mail skills in Cantonese, as well as survival Cantonese should a short stay in the country be needed.
2 or more people can benefit studying Cantonese together as these Cantonese lessons are also offered to groups (Two-to-One Cantonese Lesson or Small Group In-Company Cantonese Lesson). Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advocate group sessions of more than 6-8 people, though Taster Cantonese Lessons can be experienced by up to 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!"
North Hempstead
Almost 250,000 people live in North Hampstead, New York an affluent city that has a median family income of almost $100,000. With these well-to-do residents also comes a powerful business community that moves back and forth from Wall Street and other commerce centers in Manhattan. The city is predominantly white (74%) but also features growing African-American and Hispanic communities as well (together, they make up almost 20% of the demographic). Given that many residents travel to New York City for work, there is always going to be a benefit for residents who choose to learn a second language. Thanks to Manhattan and cities like North Hempstead, the entire state of New York is one of the most international areas in the country. Learning languages from the Pacific Rim, the romance languages or even more obscure tongues means always having a leg up in New York.
