Practical Cantonese For Foreigners

CDTI offers Cantonese training workshops to non-Cantonese speaking staff of our clients. We will use the Jyutping (粵拼) Romanization system in teaching Cantonese and in the design and delivery of this training. We will customize the program so that the participants will be able to understand basic Cantonese and hold simple dialogues in the workplace.
