Local Hong Kong Boy Born and raised in Hong Kong, I’m a true local with Cantonese as my mother tongue. Holding bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Hong Kong universities, I bridge languages fluently—English, Mandarin, and of course, Cantonese. Living in Hong Kong, I specialize in helping learners grasp *authentic* Cantonese for daily life, travel, or business here. Need translations, script recordings, or just casual practice? Let’s make Cantonese feel natural together! As a Cantonese teacher, I hope to help you confidently use this language in Cantonese-speaking regions and learn more about Hong Kong culture. If you are new to Cantonese, I will assist you in building your first 200 vocabulary words, along with basic grammar. Next, we will focus on the pronunciation of tone 1 and tone 6 until you can distinguish them in listening exercises. After that, we will read some materials and conduct the entire lesson in Cantonese, without using auxiliary languages like English or Mandarin. I will spend at least half an hour understanding your reasons for wanting to learn Cantonese and setting up specific goals for you. Additionally, please share why you chose my lessons, as there are many Cantonese teachers on the italki platform. My lessons do not follow a strict structure. We can cover everything from traditional reading and writing to casual conversation, so all topics are welcome.

This was my first lesson with Michael and he comes highly recommended. He’s so knowledgeable about Cantonese, yet he interrogates each student’s goals and interests so carefully, he really wants to make each lesson count. That is the mark of a true teacher. I can hardly wait for my next lesson. 多謝晒 Michael老師!!

I've had five lessons with Michael so far, and I'm extremely satisfied and have enjoyed each one immensely. He's very helpful, great at giving explanations, and I learn a great deal during each class—not just Cantonese, but Hong Kong culture as well. I've been able to focus on the areas I want to the most and feel much more comfortable speaking Cantonese compared to before. I highly recommend him as a teacher!

Mic is a good listener and a focused teacher. You can easily achieve a productive lesson with him once he understands your goal. He is also very calm and easy going which is great.
