“These are the best Cantonese lessons I can find. Informal, fun, real life situations and highly encouraging to listen, practice and use.”

“If you have a decent vocabulary, this is podcast is most beneficial in learning sentence structure and term usage. Only 2 complaints: the order of podcast is disordered because all the submit dates are the same; secondly (loeng-ly), the numbered order does use 2 digit numbering so that also...”Read full review »

“I've travelled quite a bit and used podcasts to teach me language basics before I go. These are - hands down - the best lessons I've ever heard of any language.
The quirky Cecilie teaches phrases that are funny but useful in everyday speech. The banter between student and teacher is not only...”Read full review »

“If you know english and want to learn cantonese and have fun while doing it, you need to download this podcast.
Cecilie Gamst Berg, originally from Norway, is teaching RTHK's radio host Sarah Passmore Cantonese in little, but funny lesson. Make sure that you get the words lists from each episode.”

“Great for anyone interested in Cantonese. The culteral and grammar "asides" are particularly helpful. Sara and Cecile have great chemistry. Cecile amazes me in that she can teach language #3 in language #2. I still mess up language #1! Download these, definitely”

“Her vocabulary is undeniably good but her pronunciation is not great. Cantonese is a tonal language and if you copy some of her sounds, a native speaker will not understand you. I have Cantonese parents and know there are some mistakes! Try to use this if you want to improve your vocab but get a...”Read full review »

“To hear them is to love them. Obviously you should bolster your Conto-learnings with more than just this, but the idea is to have fun and learn something along the way. Thank you lovely ladies ever so much, Sarah and Cecilie! Yes, do keep on with the struggle to make it a world language, la!”

“I've studied Mandarin, Tagalog, and other languages, and now living in Macau I was looking for a Cantonese language podcast. This podcast is exhausting for new learners, who want to start from "a" and work their way through "Which bus goes to...". You can't just start with one episode and move...”Read full review »

“It's good that there are more Cantonese podcasts, but the speakers in this podcast speak Cantonese w/an accent, and the tones are a little off. If thats okay with you, then this shouldn't be a problem, but tones in Cantonese matter a lot, and shouldn't be taken lightly.”
