Maybe you even memorized a hundred words - only to forget them a week later.
Maybe you passed an HSK level but still stutter when someone speaks to you.
Maybe youโre fluent in theory - but still canโt hold a real conversation without translating in your head.
Thatโs because most methods teach about Cantonese.
I teach you to think, feel, and speak in it.
Mandarin teaches you to ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ธ in Chinese;
Cantonese teaches you to ๐๐๐๐ก in Chinese.

After years of 1-on-1 teaching, Iโve developed a system that fuses:

This system isnโt for everyone.
Itโs not conventional.
Itโs decidedly untraditional.
Itโs a little addictive.
And once you experience it, you might find other methodsโฆ obsolete.
But if youโre serious - really serious - about learning Cantonese from the inside out, โจthen this just might be the last method youโll ever need.

James was very friendly and creative with his lessons to keep me engaged while learning Cantonese. He uses stories, demonstrates how to say each line, and then has you repeat after him. His homework usually consists of having you record yourself repeating the story or watching Cantonese content on YouTube. As a heritage speaker with basic Cantonese, I enjoyed the dynamic method he used. However, after 3 months, I felt like I had not gained much from his lessons besides reciting stories. It was hard to translate the vocabulary I memorized into daily conversation since the stories were very specific situations. His class also seemed a bit unorganized, and he came up with material spontaneously. It left me feeling confused, and did not apply to my learning goals of speaking daily, conversational Cantonese with relatives. Overall, his teaching style might work for others, but I prefer more structure and better-organized topics for themed vocabulary.Theo

James (Chin) was extremely guiding in helping me prepare for an audition I have in Cantonese. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for an approachable methodology for nailing Canto!!Jeremy

James is a passionate tutor who designs unique and challenging lessons. His narrative, scenario-based, and story-based teaching style may seem daunting at first, but he truly pushes you to do your best and in the blink of an eye, you will start conversing in Cantonese! These stories also lean heavily on Hong Kong/Cantonese culture, seamlessly developing both your colloquial language skills and cultural understanding. He is also extremely well-organized and invests a significant amount of time for preparation by providing plenty of audio samples in spoken Cantonese and even finding dedicated online software to improve your tonal accuracy. I would highly recommend James to anyone interested in learning Cantonese!WuE

Chin is an exceptional tutor if you're trying to learn cantonese from either an absolute beginner or if you already have some knowledge. His lessons are well planned and really fun and it is something different from the usual and slightly boring text-book learning. I 100% recommend him and he helped me develop my cantonese a ton!Anya

Quite a unique way to teach. In my case, due to stories with pictures, associative thinking works well and words are learned faster. If you don't want to concentrate on theory and want more interaction, then this is a great teacher.
