I love languages! I’m Chinese, and I speak Cantonese and Mandarin. I also speak some English and Japanese, and I’m currently learning Thai and Spanish.Me as a Teacher
“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” — Nelson Mandela
I completely agree with this. It’s the main reason I want to teach Cantonese to people around the world — so they can connect more deeply with Cantonese speakers and truly appreciate the culture.My lessons & teaching style

Today was my first Cantonese lesson ever. (I have never learnt from any books or youtube before). I only have some basic in Mandarin. Yan spoke to me in Cantonese from the first sentence. She encouraged me to try using the words I just learned a couple of seconds ago by asking me lots of questions.
I imitated how she put things in sentences and learned quite a lot today.
Thank you, Yan ; )!!

Great! I really like that Yanlee keeps the whole lesson in Chinese, despite my very limited abilities - it is definitely the best way to improve quickly. and Yanlee is so friendly and patient :-)

This was a very fun class. As a beginner, I find it is very hard speaking Cantonese the whole time but I feel so lucky that teacher Yan is very patient and continues to encourage me. It is an amazing feeling to speak only in your target language for an hour as a beginner!
