Mission Mission

Mission

Never forget

  • How to encourage second-generation immigrants to learn Cantonese well?
  • How to help students overseas learn to read and even write?
  • How to turn learning Cantonese into a blessing?

These questions have been lingering in my mind since I immigrated to Canada. In the midst of confusion, I decided to continue teaching Chinese in Toronto and at the same time establish the Cantonese Classroom and HKCSL (Chinese Systematic Learning), aiming to share Chinese teaching resources (Cantonese; traditional Chinese characters), explore the way of teaching Chinese overseas together, and help learners in North America and other overseas regions to learn Chinese interestingly and systematically.

Never forget, there will be echoes. Where there is light, there are people.

We, together with parents and other Cantonese learners, persist, persist, and persist in inheriting Cantonese overseas. Because we hope that the next generation can become the echo of Cantonese, the people of Cantonese in foreign lands.
