The need for multi-lingual persons is ever increasing in a world that sees the development of China grow day by day. Working in the City, I have found the need to be fully conversant in Mandarin essential for business. This course has enabled me to use my native Cantonese skills as a basis for a much more efficient way to learn Mandarin, and for the words to be easily remembered as the translations into Cantonese make much more sense to me than a translation into English. I have found that being in a class of fellow Cantonese speakers means that the speed of learning is alot quicker and my understanding of Chinese in general is vastly improved. This class is highly recommended for Cantonese speakers over that of beginners classes with an English basis.
