If you are a beginner looking to learn Cantonese in an engaging and effective way, you are in the right place. My lessons are designed to be 100% comprehensible, ensuring that you can understand all input and begin speaking Cantonese with confidence from day one.
Please note:
Lessons are intended for adults only; I do not teach children.
These lessons are designed specifically for beginners. If your Cantonese level is intermediate or above, my classes may not be the most suitable fit for your needs.
⚠️ Lesson Policies
Each lesson is 55 minutes in duration, as I allow a 5-minute break between sessions (or 25 minutes for 30-minute lessons).
If a student arrives more than 15 minutes late, the lesson will be marked as a no-show, and the session will be considered completed.

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!
