2. Course Content

HKLTC offers both Cantonese and Mandarin courses. Our teaching approach focuses mainly on "immersion - conversation" learning as well as reading and writing. Students are guided to speak only Cantonese or Mandarin in the classroom, and class size is kept small (7 or less), to maximize personal attention. All the Cantonese/Mandarin courses are taught by qualified native teachers who have completed special training for teaching Chinese as a second language to non-native speakers. A transcript (Certificate) is awarded to all students upon completing the course. See the program dates section for more schedule information.
