What Our Students Say

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! 🥟📝

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!

The teaching style is fun and engaging. I highly recommend learning Cantonese here!

I've been taking classes with Cantonese Classroom for several months, and the experience has been great! The classes are practical, engaging, and well-designed to provide a reasonable level of challenge.

Teacher is very accommodating and flexible with classes. Encourages any questions and goes at a great pace for learning, many different units and topics are prepared so, it makes continuous learning fun as well!

I have been studying Cantonese with Chris for a couple of months and the progress has been amazing. Chris really takes the time to help you learn and understand. It has been a great experience and would definitely recommend even if you have never spoken the language before.

Chris is a very supportive and organized teacher. He would use a variety of materials to teach students. His enthusiasm and professionalism helps to keep each student on track. Highly recommend!

Chris is a great teacher! He has an excellent way of teaching as he is very patient, flexible, and goes at an appropriate pace depending on your level of knowledge! I had a difficult time finding a teacher in Toronto that taught Cantonese, so I was very happy to find Cantonese Classroom and I would highly recommend Cantonese Classroom and Chris to learn Cantonese!

Very patient and knowledgeable teacher

A great and affordable way to learn Cantonese! I joined the virtual beginner class and thanks to Teacher Chris' lessons and encouragement, I can hold simple conversations in Cantonese. I enjoy the interactive style of the class and how we've focused on simply speaking Cantonese early on, rather than writing, grammar, and exact tones. Would highly recommend!

I have been taking adult Cantonese classes for complete beginners for a few months now and am very happy with my progress. Teacher Chris is an excellent teacher with a thoughtful curriculum, detailed feedback, and great teaching strategies. He is also very friendly and funny, making the class a great environment. Would highly recommend!

I have been learning cantonese with Chris for a little over one year now, I have made immense progress and Chris has ensured a fun and stress free environment to learn. Thank you!!

Excellent teachers and a flexible schedule. The course is thoughtfully designed, making it easy to learn while also having fun. I highly recommend it!

I'm thrilled to have finally found a Cantonese school in Toronto that offers fun and flexible classes. I thoroughly enjoyed my classes at the Cantonese Classroom. My teacher, Chris, was both engaging and supportive. He was extremely accommodating to my learning level, and I was able to find classes that suited my level and schedule. With his help, I was able to get the feedback I needed to finally learn to read Jyutping (the standardized romanization of Cantonese). This is jump-start to my progress in Cantonese. I also enjoyed the high level of interaction with the other students in the class. Highly recommend the school!

I've been attending Cantonese Classroom and taking Chinese lessons for a while now, and it's been a fantastic experience! My Cantonese has improved so much thanks to the engaging and practical lessons. A big shoutout to my teacher, Chris — he's amazing! His teaching style is funny, clear, and super easy to follow, which makes learning both enjoyable and effective. Highly recommend to anyone looking to learn or improve their Cantonese!

Great support and experience, 10/10

Chris is a very responsible and patient teacher. His standard pronunciation and clear explanation made my study enjoyable. The class combine regular teaching and everyday life experiences in HongKong. I did learn a lot.

I started taking class with Chris from 0, and in few months I'm already able to support a simple conversation with native speakers. A strong emphasis on conversational practice, which helps you quickly pick up the basics of the language and start applying it in everyday life. I highly recommend this class if you want to learn Cantonese

Chris is an enthusiastic teacher who is knowledgable on a systematic yuet ping system (like ping yin but for Cantonese) which makes it easier to grasp learning Cantonese. He makes his own lessons from scratch and shares a pdf for students to follow along and retain and finds many ways to make learning fun through videos, games and encouraging conversation. I am an adult student in a virtual class with a little Cantonese background and found myself improving with his classes.

I can wholeheartedly recommend any adult learners that have some background with Cantonese to learn Cantonese at Cantonese Classroom. It is the only that teaches adults well beyond the basics. I grew up in Toronto and speak Cantonese with my parents but, like many Canadian-born Chinese, I cannot read and my Cantonese is unsophisticated. I was frustrated that there is no school that teaches beyond the beginner level for Cantonese. Chris, the founder, personally created a curriculum that was initially personally tailored for me as the first advanced adult learner. Chris has expanded the class to a small number of other advanced adult learners and I very much enjoy being able to converse with my classmates about topics that are well beyond the ability of a beginner, such as world news. I've taken many language classes, for several languages, and I've found Cantonese Classroom to be the most engaging language school and I've made the most progressive under Chris's tutelage.

As somebody who has ancestral ties to Sze Yup regions of China, I've always wanted to speak the languages that my older relatives spoke. Chris far exceeded my expectations when he first started teaching the class I was in. Chris puts high focus into our knowledge in Cantonese and is very patient when it comes to me and my classmates learning development. Thanks Again to Wong 老師 and other teachers.

Great teachers & motivating lessons!

I am an adult learner taking lessons now with Chris for over 3 months and have nothing but praise. I have felt I have been able to make good progress and I can do simple introductions, talk about my hobbies, what I enjoy to eat, and make small talk about the weather. Chris, is an excellent teacher and understands the needs of his students. He puts a lot of care into making lessons interactive, playful, funny, and engaging. The lessons are a lot more interesting then what you would get from a university level language course. The teaching is personalized and you are paired with students of similar skill level. I highly recommend taking a course and learning a new language!
