Cantonese Language Programs

Imagine your first day at university: you enroll in Physics I, just to realize you have to enroll in Physics II next semester. Well, if Mandarin is Physics, then Cantonese is Physics II. What is Cantonese? It’s the traditional form of Chinese (making it even more difficult to learn than Mandarin), and remains one of the major dialects spoken in China – it is even one of the few dialects other than Mandarin used in official contexts. Learning Cantonese can unlock a whole new understanding of what it means to be “Chinese.” Sign up for Cantonese language courses and get some Canto-pop stuck in your ears, some dim sum stuck in your teeth, and your heart stuck in south China.

A Guide to Cantonese Language Programs Abroad

Locations

There are about 80 million Cantonese speakers in the world – you might already be thinking your number of Instagram followers is about to go through the roof. But after that initial thought wanders out your mind, you’ll want to bust out a map and look towards southern China. So, where is Cantonese spoken? Primarily the countries of China, Hong Kong, and Macau.

Hong Kong is by far the most famous and notorious place for learning Cantonese, as it’s the most international city in Asia. Learning Cantonese in Hong Kong is the best of both worlds. In the city center, you’ll have access to non-stop urban amenities while on the south side of the island, there are countless blue water beaches. If you’re a foodie, Kowloon district will be your dream come true. If you want to tap into your inner childhood and chat with Mickey Mouse using your new language skills, check out Hong Kong Disneyland! No matter your calling, a Cantonese course in Hong Kong is unparalleled.

For those who want a more traditional approach for learning Cantonese, Guangzhou, China provides great options. It’s the vanguard of China’s Tier 1 cities; with 10 to 12 million people, you won’t get lonely! You’ll see Cantonese language programs scattered all across Guangzhou. Guangzhou houses a world famous opera house for your listening pleasure. For the sports fans, Tianhe Stadium will host all your soccer events, so get ready to yell your heart out at the Shanghai vs. Guangzhou annual game.

For the social butterfly, Shenzhen can be your nest. Shenzhen, located just north of Hong Kong, has the infamous “Window of the World,” a theme park with miniature figures of worldly structures (imagine seeing Big Ben at seven feet tall!). Its recently experienced an influx of foreigners, so whenever you need a break from learning Cantonese and want to speak English, you’ll have plenty of friends to discuss the difficulties of catching a taxi or learning the different tones.

If you aren’t sure where to study, it’s all a matter of preference. But if you want to know how to learn Cantonese fast, stick to the above suggestions. To find the best Cantonese language course, just read the reviews over there on the left!

An unforgettable experience

My week in Chengdu was an unforgettable experience. Being immersed in the Mandarin language, staying with a lovely host family and an amazing teacher, and learning so much about the culture at the same time, it was a fantastic way to improve my language skills. I would recommend this unique experience to anyone who is interested in improving their Mandarin - as a language teacher myself, I know how valuable this is, and the team at Lingoinn make the whole thing extremely smooth and stress-free. I’ll definitely be doing it again before too long!
