My teacher is a great Cantonese teacher! She clearly knows the language very well and is happy to answer very technical questions about Cantonese grammar. She is warm, welcoming, and patient. She goes at a good pace, and her lessons are a good mix of new vocabulary and new grammar structures. When we divide into breakout groups, she listens in on our conversations so that she can give us individualized feedback. Unlike other Cantonese classes I've been in, her class centers her students' voices. For the most part, the students are talking more than the teacher, and we're not just reciting material from a textbook.

I like the small class size, which makes it feel very personalized and comfortable to participate. I think it is challenging to teach students who likely have a native Cantonese language background, but with varying levels of proficiency with grammar and breadth of vocabulary. My teacher is very knowledgeable in teaching these types of students as well as the non-native Cantonese student. The lessons are useful and interesting and she is an engaging teacher. She always makes time to answer our questions and teach us more about things that the students find interesting. The handouts are helpful as well.

I am happy with my progress in my Cantonese class. I really enjoy the experience of learning with classmates in my class; it definitely keeps me motivated to continue signing up for classes and studying hard. My teacher is wonderful and knowledgeable. The content covered in the syllabus is relevant to the opportunities I have in my daily life to use Cantonese (with my husband, our nanny, and understanding/speaking with my child).

My teacher is from Hong Kong, she speaks Cantonese fluently and articulately so that is easier for a Cantonese learner to understand. I have learned how Chinese holidays are celebrated. I have acquired a lot of vocabulary, phrases and grammatical patterns. We have had homework that consists of recording ourselves speaking about a specific topic, which has helped me improve my listening skills and acquire more useful vocabulary. I highly recommend Cantonese classes at Hills Learning.

I have learned so much, and my professor has been an excellent teacher. I wanted to turn my surface knowledge of Cantonese from just understanding but semi-speaking because my family speaks it, into fully knowing how to form my own sentences and speak properly. The class has definitely done that already, and I see it only getting better until the end of the class.

I enjoy the class and the content very much. My teacher is a very enthusiastic teacher and learning Cantonese with her is really fun. She takes time for questions and makes sure everyone understands the content. The chosen topic is excellent and very practical/relevant. I like that each lesson has some level of grammar explanations because it helps me to improve a lot. I also like reading texts/dialogs to improve in complex sentence structure.

My teacher is AWESOME! She creates a safe and comforting environment. It allows me to be okay when making mistakes while also learning from my mistakes. I like how engaging classes are and how she tries to integrate our lives into lesson plans.
