Chow Bun Ching has dedicated more than twenty-five years to teaching written Chinese and spoken Cantonese to expatriates of varied backgrounds in the University of Hong Kong. As a lecturer at HKU, Ms Chow teaches language courses at all levels. She has also been in charge of the Cantonese Section at the Chinese Language Centre of the School of Chinese. Ms Chow was awarded a Faculty Teaching Excellence Award from the Faculty of Arts in 2009. Her research interests are in the area of the teaching and learning of Chinese/Cantonese as a foreign language. Ms Chow has published several textbooks that are widely used over the world. She is the co-author of Living Cantonese for Intermediate Learners (1997, Jyutping version 2017), the author of Learn Chinese Using Cantonese (2008, Jyutping version 2016), Spoken Cantonese for Non-Chinese Speaking Students (2009) and Decoding Chinese Characters (2016).

This short course is meant for people who have no prior knowledge of Cantonese but have a strong

desire to learn and a need for its use as soon as possible. This book is principally designed for

newcomers to Hong Kong (especially international students) who wish to overcome the language

barrier in their new living environment.

The aim of the course is to introduce the fundamental structure of the Cantonese language, as well

as common and useful Cantonese vocabulary, phrases and expressions that can immediately be put

to use in daily life.

The emphasis will be on the practical side of the language use, so as to meet everyday needs while

residing in Hong Kong. In a relatively short period of time, learners will grasp the most useful and

practical phrases or expressions to make life here easier and more enjoyable. In addition, there are

sections on the culture and life in Hong Kong that will hopefully help you in the transition stage.

Many people say that Cantonese is a difficult language to learn, but I believe that given the right

learning material and environment, it is no more difficult than any other second language. I hope

that this course will help in this regard.
