Cantonese for Travelers is a short, practical class designed to help you feel more comfortable using Cantonese in real-life travel situations. No prior Cantonese experience is required. This class focuses on useful phrases, pronunciation, listening practice, and simple speaking skills for common travel situations. Students will practice Cantonese for ordering food, shopping, asking for directions, using public transportation, checking in at hotels, making basic requests, and interacting politely with local people. Rather than focusing on systematic grammar, reading, or writing, this class emphasizes practical communication and cultural tips that can make traveling in Cantonese-speaking areas easier and more enjoyable. While translation apps and AI tools can be helpful, this class gives students the confidence and experience to speak, listen, and communicate on their own during a trip. Topics may include: • Greetings and basic polite expressions • Numbers, prices, dates, and time • Ordering food and drinks • Shopping and asking about prices • Asking for directions • MTR, taxis, and public transportation • Hotel check-in and basic requests • Tourist attractions and reservations • Common signs and announcements • Simple emergency phrases • Cultural tips for travelers Course details: Cantonese for Travelers at SJLC Registration policies: SJLC policies
