What your child can practice

These are examples of learning goals, rather than a fixed timetable or a promise of fluency. Your tutor adapts activities to your child’s starting point.

Family conversations

Practice greetings, family names, and questions your child could use with relatives.

Listening and pronunciation

Try tone matching, rhymes, and short exchanges with support from a tutor.

Culture in context

Explore foods, celebrations, and everyday expressions through conversation.

A starting point for every age

  • Ages 3–8: Songs, visual props, and short games with simple words and greetings.
  • Ages 9–12: Stories, hobbies, and everyday exchanges with reading and writing at the right level.
  • Ages 13–18: Age-relevant conversations about interests, family, and personal goals. Older beginners are welcome.

Characters and pronunciation

The Cantonese stream generally uses Traditional characters and Jyutping to support pronunciation. Discuss how much reading and writing fits your child’s goals.
