Shelley from Australia 2016-01-21

The beginners Cantonese course was a very helpful introduction not only to Cantonese, but also to Hong Kong and its culture. The teacher tailored the course so that I could benefit from learning more relevant language skills for my situation.

The activities that the students can be involved in outside of the regular classes has allowed me to meet a number of interesting people from all walks of life, which is invaluable to someone new to Hong Kong. I highly recommend Hong Kong Modern Language Centre to anyone looking to have a more well-rounded experience when learning Cantonese.

This time, I was introduced by a friend to learn Cantonese with Ms. Joyce from the Hong Kong Modern Language Centre, and I had a great time. The teacher teaches seriously, and the class atmosphere is harmonious and relaxed. In particular, the content of the situational dialogue is practical and life-oriented, and after a few lessons, I have consciously made great progress in pronunciation and articulation. I also dare to chat and communicate with people loudly. Thank you for your guidance and encouragement, these classes are really worth it.

The Cantonese class at the "Hong Kong Modern Language Centre" was so relaxed, and I couldn't help but feel improved in the chat with the teacher. You'll find it a pleasure to come to class every time you come to class, and at the same time learn about Hong Kong culture that many people won't tell you. It couldn't be more suitable for us in Hong Kong drifting. The personal charm of the teachers is so strong, even after the course is over, I will continue to contact them. Now, after more than three months, I have gone from not knowing anything at the beginning to being able to have a basic conversation. Thank you very much to the teachers.

Since I was a child, I wanted to be able to speak English authentically and fluently, but because I grew up in a Chinese environment and was afraid to speak English, my spoken English has always been at a lower middle level. Since I came to the Modern Language Centre in Hong Kong, I have gradually started to speak English under the careful guidance of my teachers. The teachers here are from English-speaking countries, and I not only learned speaking skills, but also learned a lot about Western culture through the teacher's sharing. Now, I am slowly getting used to communicating with foreign friends in English, and I am not so timid, so I am very grateful to the teachers at the Hong Kong Modern Language Centre!

Every time I go to class, I really enjoy Joyce's pre-class chat, I like to call it tea time. The course does not teach rigid written language, but uses Cantonese that is close to daily life, and at the same time inserts a lot of topics such as local culture. This kind of relaxed and diverse topic sharing teaching will help enrich the future study and life of mainland students in Hong Kong. In just three months of Cantonese course, I was able to speak Cantonese with confidence. I would like to give a thumbs up to the happy Cantonese at the "Hong Kong Centre for Modern Language"!
This is due to the flexible class hours of this language center. At the same time, some extracurricular language exchange activities are also organized for students on a regular basis.

I was afraid to speak Mandarin at the beginning, but now I can talk to people confidently, I am really grateful to Ms. Joyce of the "Hong Kong Modern Language Centre" for her lively teaching methods and tireless correction of my pronunciation, which has allowed me to improve a lot in a short period of time

It's been a year since I came to Hong Kong, and I still remember that when I first came to Hong Kong last year, I couldn't speak Cantonese and couldn't read it, thanks to a friend's introduction to the "Hong Kong Modern Language Centre" to learn Cantonese. I also got to know Ms. Joyce. She used the most simple and easy-to-understand way to talk to us, there is no boredom of books at all, and there is no rigidity of operating according to the table, everything is so vivid and natural learning. She will also arrange the content of the class according to the needs of each student, she is really a good teacher who tailors for students, and she also has a heart that is good at helping others. When she sees that you are in a negative state of thinking, she can spend an hour after class to enlighten you. So she's also a good friend. Coming to Hong Kong to study with Ms. Joyce was my biggest reward.

At that time, I was still confused about looking for a job, and I was introduced by a friend to the Hong Kong Modern Language Centre, where my teacher Clara tailored the interview English course content for me according to my requirements, and conducted mock interview coaching for me during the class. Carefully correcting my accent and grammar issues laid a good foundation for my future job interviews. In addition, the teacher's lively and interesting lessons made me interested in English, and the teacher was very serious in his lectures, and I began to feel that learning English is not a very stressful thing. Thank you to the teachers at the Modern Language Centre of Hong Kong!
