Descrizione del servizio

This level is for confident speakers who want full fluency, natural expression and access to the wider world of Cantonese culture, as well as for those who use Cantonese professionally. Lessons focus on range and precision: understanding fast, informal speech, handling formal situations with ease, and expressing complex ideas in the way a native speaker would. You work with slang and current expressions and other idiomatic forms, and the mixing of Cantonese and English common in everyday speech. At the other end of the scale, you practise formal Cantonese as heard in news broadcasts, speeches and business meetings. Reading covers newspapers, essays and literature, including texts written in colloquial Cantonese, and you learn to read standard written Chinese aloud fluently in Cantonese. Films, television dramas, talk shows and other media are used throughout, chosen to match your interests. Many students at this level follow a specialist track, such as business Cantonese, Cantonese for translation and interpreting, or reading Cantonese literature and film in depth. By the end of this level, you will be able to take part fluently in meetings, discussions and social situations, follow films, dramas and news at native speed, and read and write in both colloquial and formal registers. The level corresponds roughly to CEFR C1 and above.
