Cantonese Courses in London, UK & Europe

We hope you will join the many professionals in companies across the UK who have benefited from a Cantonese Language Course with SIMON & SIMON. We have a terrific team of qualified native-speaker Cantonese teachers, and with an average of 15 years’ experience they will ensure you benefit from a course designed specifically around your needs, whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced learner with more specialised requirements.

We consistently receive excellent feedback on our Cantonese tutors from our clients, and we send our students a profile on their Cantonese tutor prior to their Cantonese lessons commencing, with information on the tutor’s background and experience.

If you have only studied languages before at school you will find that teaching approaches to modern language training have changed enormously in recent years – it’s now a lot more fun and a far more rewarding experience!

Your teacher will conduct your Cantonese lessons almost entirely in Cantonese – a method known as the Communicative Approach - and you will find yourself making progress from the very first lesson and soon growing in the confidence to communicate in Cantonese in a variety of social and business situations.

1:1 and Group Cantonese Courses

Our Cantonese language courses are available on both a 1:1 and group basis, but the majority of our clients offer 1:1 Cantonese training to their employees. However, with careful planning, group training can offer great value for money, provided there is a real commitment from the participants to get together at the same time every week. We strongly recommend you keep group numbers to 6 or less for these types of courses to be successful.

Those learning Cantonese on a 1:1 basis will naturally make much faster progress, as the course will be designed around their individual needs and focus on their particular strengths and weaknesses.

Cantonese Course Locations

SIMON & SIMON has arranged Cantonese language courses for clients in numerous locations, and with our global network of language trainers we can organise a Cantonese language course for you wherever you are - in any major city in the UK, Europe and beyond.

The vast majority of our Cantonese lessons take place at our clients’ offices, removing the need for you to travel, but Cantonese lessons can take place in your home if that is more convenient.

We can also arrange full-time residential Cantonese language courses for you – just contact our office for information on available destinations.

Cantonese Course Schedules

Our Cantonese language courses run throughout the year. The majority of our students attend at least one 90-minute session per week and many students will try to do more than one session depending on work commitments.

Our Cantonese teachers are available Monday – Friday from 8am – 8pm, and Weekend Courses can also be arranged on request.

Our intensive Cantonese language courses run for 30 hours per week, (6 hours per day Monday – Friday), and take place on our clients’ premises or at a residential centre here in the UK or abroad.

Cantonese Course Content

The content of your Cantonese language course will reflect your level and your particular objectives. We will assess your Cantonese language level before your course, and discuss with you in detail the subject areas you wish to focus on.

You may be a complete beginner looking for day-to-day Cantonese ‘survival’ language skills, or a more proficient Cantonese speaker needing to improve your fluency when discussing areas such as law, banking, finance, insurance, sales, travel, marketing, and administration.

You may want to focus on improving your Cantonese for meetings, discussions and negotiations, or to concentrate on improving your listening comprehension, pronunciation and telephone skills.

Whatever your needs, working with one of our highly experienced Cantonese language trainers you can be confident that the content of your Cantonese language course will be tailored just for you and that you will soon be meeting your objectives.

Supporting Documentation

At the start of your Cantonese language course we will send you a profile on your trainer, followed by a Course Plan and relevant course materials, and then a Progress Report after every 40 hours of training. You will also receive a copy of our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, featuring a superb prize draw, invaluable weblinks to language learning sources, and a ‘What’s On’ diary of forthcoming cultural and artistic events for learners of Cantonese.

Cantonese Language Examination Courses

We can also help prepare you for Cantonese examinations of a business or general nature. We are proud to say our students have a 95% pass rate in language examinations, and their success further underlines the value we place on working with Cantonese teachers with above average experience.

As part of our service, SIMON & SIMON will also organise the registration and administration of Cantonese examinations and the issuing of result certificates.

“SIMON & SIMON continually provide outstanding language trainers with relevant business experience.”
