  • Intermediate Listening 14- students' speech 13- a trip to Melbourne from Auckland
    Jan 25 2023

    This is a speech as an assignment for my Year 2 Term 2. She had only picked up Cantonese her own before joining my Year 2 course by surrounding herself with Cantonese. I was impressed by her existing level before joining us.

    A slightly longer one, but is good practice for listening. I have extracted some vocabulary for you in the middle of this episode. Enjoy!

    Pick up your Cantonese starting in 2023. My group classes & self-paced course can help.
