Hello! (haa1 lo3! 哈囉！)
Have you tried to learn Cantonese in the past, only to become discouraged?
We’ve seen that happen too many times. That’s why we designed CantoneseClass101 to break down
lessons into the smallest, simplest steps possible. So, that you can finally grasp the language and start
speaking, no matter your age, background or language experience.
Keep reading. You’ll see how CantoneseClass101 gets you speaking Cantonese in just minutes…
… and you’ll discover some FREE tools and resources down below.
But, speaking of Cantonese… Cantonese in Cantonese is 廣東話 (gwong2 dung1 waa2). 廣東話 is a good
vocab (字- zi6) to know since you know… you are now learning it.
So, how do you get started with 廣東話?
At CantoneseClass101, we get you speaking and understanding Cantonese with bite-sized conversational
lessons.
In fact, you have a ready-made pathway of lessons waiting for you on the CantoneseClass101 dashboard
(your homebase). Just click on “Go to lesson.”
How to learn: All you have to do is… press play on a lesson and sit back.
First, you’ll listen to a practical dialogue between native Cantonese speakers.
Then, our teachers will slow it down and explain all of the words, grammar rules and cultural nuances
presented.
In minutes, you’ll understand the entire conversation and all the words and grammar rules inside.
And, you’ll start speaking Cantonese that you’ve heard. So, if you heard a dialogue about catching up with
a friend, you will be able to do just that in Cantonese.
So, you will..

… listen (聽 - teng1)
… understand (明白 - ming4 baak6)
…and speak (講 - gong2) real Cantonese.
And you can also read (讀- duk6) along and never miss a word with the Line-by-Line Dialogue and FREE
Lesson Transcripts inside each lesson.
When you’re done with lesson #1, we’ll guide you to lesson #2, then #3, and so on.
Learning is as simple as that.

By the way, 好開心識到你 (hou2 hoi1 sam1 sik1 dou2 nei5)!
That means nice to meet you!
Now, since we have you (你 - nei5) here… we want to know:
• What’s your name?

• 你叫乜嘢名？
• nei5 giu3 mat1 je5 meng2?
To reply to that and introduce yourself, you (你 - nei5) would say…
• I’m (name).
• 我係...
• ngo5 hai6...
Oh, “ngo5” is a new word (字 - zi6).
“ngo5” (我) is how you say “I” in 廣東話.
So, just stick your name in there.
By the way, in case you didn’t notice…
Now you know a whole bunch of 字 and phrases.
