FAQ: Complete Cantonese
How long does the pathway take to complete?
Complete Cantonese takes you as far as you want to go. Some learners aim to hold everyday conversations within a year, while others study for several years to reach advanced or near-native fluency. With one-to-one lessons tailored to your pace, there’s no fixed timeline. You can move quickly with extra study outside class, or take it steadily alongside work and other commitments.
Do I need any prior Cantonese knowledge?
No previous experience is required. This pathway works for absolute beginners starting from scratch as well as heritage learners who may have heard Cantonese at home but never studied it formally. In our trial lesson, I’ll get a sense of your current level and design a path that fits your needs — whether you’re learning your very first tones and characters or already comfortable with basic conversation.
What skills will I gain from this course?
You’ll build all the core skills you need in speaking, listening, reading, and character recognition. Along the way we’ll focus on accurate tones and pronunciation, everyday vocabulary, essential grammar, and how to handle natural conversations with native speakers. As you progress, you’ll also pick up cultural insights and the confidence to use Cantonese in real-life situations.
How is Cantoflow different from other courses?
Most online Cantonese courses stop at the basics or put you in group classes where it’s hard to get individual attention. At Cantoflow, every lesson is one-to-one with a native Hong Kong tutor who focuses on your pronunciation, grammar, and conversation skills. You get direct feedback in real time, plus structured resources like PDF notes and vocab decks to support you outside class.
Can I use this pathway for professional purposes?
Many learners use this pathway to prepare for academic study, professional work, or even relocation to Hong Kong or Southern China. I’ll help you build the skills to handle formal conversations, presentations, meetings, and written communication alongside everyday language. Because everything is personalised, we can also focus on specialised areas that matter to you — whether that’s business Cantonese, academic research, or a particular professional context.
What if I need to pause my lessons?
This pathway is designed to be flexible. If you need to pause because of travel, work, or personal reasons, you can easily reschedule and continue when you’re ready. You won’t lose your progress — I’ll help you review and refresh so you can pick up right where you left off. Many learners treat Cantonese as a long-term journey, and it’s completely normal to take breaks along the way.
