My son attends Cantonese class every Saturday in a small group of four students with similar language levels. He has been learning more Chinese words through fun and creative teaching methods!
Like for the “Ice Cream Truck” chapter, the tutor used songs, videos, and interactive games to make the lesson fun and engaging. The best part? Students who get full marks on their dictation for the topic get a free ice cream!🍦🍦
Small group class is really good for young children to learn! The tutor can give each student more attention, and the kids get to interact and learn from one another.
We are very happy with the class and will definitely continue! Hopefully my son will keep learning more Cantonese and become more familiar with his mother tongue. Highly recommended!
What can I say about Cantonese Classroom! I spent a lot of my life feeling self conscious about learning Cantonese, even though I grew up in a household that spoke it. Something about being born in Canada and being culturally different made it feel like a big hurdle. Thankfully the fun teachings + encouraging methods that Chris + team use have really provided a safe landing spot for this :) I also love how the mission is to also help grow the echoes of the culture overseas. Thank you for helping so many of us CBC folk gain confidence and progress so much! 🥟📝
Really excellent and fun teaching! Mr. Wong's materials are (much more) relevant and fun especially compared to traditional Chinese schools. Like, dim sum, hot pot, tongue twisters. Mr. Wong is very engaging and my Canadian-born daughter is still enjoying despite losing a lot of her original Cantonese as a toddler. It is nice to have an online version too in case you're outside of North York.
My child has been taking Cantonese lessons here and absolutely loves them! The classes are interactive, practical, and focused on real life rather than rigid textbooks. The teachers are lively and the topics are so kid-friendly that my child looks forward to class every week. It’s a wonderfully natural approach to language learning!
Highly recommend Cantonese Classroom with Lou Si Chris! As an adult learner, returning to Cantonese after many years felt intimidating, but he made the entire experience enjoyable, approachable, and incredibly rewarding. He is patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and fun! He has a real talent for explaining concepts in a way that builds confidence and makes learning feel achievable. Cantonese Classroom allowed me to connect with my past Cantonese roots which was truly meaningful. He also went above and beyond by helping my husband and me choose a special Chinese name for our baby girl. This was such a thoughtful and personal gift, and something our family will cherish for years to come. If you're looking for a Cantonese teacher who is not only an excellent educator but also genuinely invested in his students' success, I wholeheartedly recommend him. Thank you for your patience, support, and for making this journey such a positive experience!
