À propos de moi
Professeur italki depuis le 11 Dec 2020Sujets d'intérêtSantéHistoireVoyagesMusiqueNourriture
I eat, sleep, and breathe Cantonese. I was born and raised in Toronto, one of the largest Cantonese communities outside Asia; I grew up with Hong Kong film and TV, listening to Cantopop, reading Chinese news, and perusing the secret menus of Cantonese restaurants. I retained an inordinate amount of Chinese due to immersion and persistence. I was lucky to have early exposure to English, French, and Mandarin; It taught me at a young age that learning new languages is dynamic and human. I love food, culture, and history. Cantonese food in particular holds a special place in my heart. I am currently completing a degree in East Asian Studies and Linguistics.Moi en tant que professeur
I understand the struggle of mastering Cantonese in Western society as English is my strongest language. This gives me a unique perspective as a teacher and translator. I’ve provided lesson formats that reflect what has helped me preserve (and improve!) my Cantonese in Canada. Due to my formal music and linguistics education, I have an edge on teaching tones and pronunciation. I believe in establishing good fundamentals, and also flexibility and creativity. Language acquisition requires a balance of comfort and challenge. I like to prioritize my students’ comfort and confidence, and they can also expect a progressive difficulty in their learning to encourage improvement in conversation. Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
I’m a proponent of comprehensible input theory; lessons are mostly conversation-based with some grammar instruction. Beginners can expect to establish a strong foundation in Cantonese sounds and script so that students have the best chance at success in their learning, as Native speakers are fast and unpredictable. I link non-instructional videos like YouTube, recipes, and songs to explore practical use and nuance using familiar platforms. Students are encouraged to build self-learning tools and vocabulary so that lessons can focus on conversation and instruction. I’m an open book and love answering any type of question. I use traditional Chinese and Jyutping romanization for instruction.Mes ressources d'enseignement
