Language teaching & learning material & coursework

The second volume of Modern Cantonese aims to facilitate learners in understanding the main ideas expressed in conversations and discussions, as well as exchanging information.

This book is structured around situational scenarios, which cover informal and semi-formal settings in daily activities and work-related situations. After completing this volume, learners will be able to understand conversations and discussions relating to a range of activities in Hong Kong, Macau, and Shenzhen.

This book is targeted at intermediate learners of Cantonese, while language teachers and linguists interested in Cantonese as a second language may also find it informative.
