Learning pathways

Your Cantonese journey begins here, with three distinct pathways to choose from. Complete Cantonese offers an in-depth exploration of the language, while Survival and Business Cantonese deliver focused, fast-paced learning aligned with practical needs. Each pathway comes with carefully designed materials to support your learning every step of the way.

Complete Cantonese

All-round fluency

Embark on a comprehensive journey into the heart of Cantonese. In the absence of a standardised curriculum, this pathway is inspired by the structure of Mandarin’s HSK, offering a well-rounded approach to mastering the language. From everyday conversation to essential grammar, each level is designed to guide you with care and intention, nurturing your progress step by step.

What will I learn?

You’ll build real fluency in speaking, listening, reading and understanding Cantonese. This isn’t just about getting by, it’s for people who want to truly master the language. We’ll move through structured HSK-style levels, growing your vocabulary, grammar and confidence in everyday and advanced conversation.

Who is this for?

Anyone serious about reaching fluency, whether it’s for personal growth, cultural connection or a future living abroad in a Cantonese-speaking environment.

How many lessons should I book?

After the trial lesson, most people start with 6 or 12 sessions to ease into the flow. If you're feeling ready to go all in, the 24 lesson package gives the best value for steady progress.
