Cantonese Lessons

Cantonese Chinese is one of the major dialects of the Chinese language. It is the second-most spoken language in China behind Mandarin Chinese.

The Cantonese dialect first originated in the Southeastern parts of China, mainly from the city of Canton. It is still spoken in many parts of the region and is an integral language in places such as Hong Kong and Macau. It is known for sharing a lot of vocabulary with Mandarin (the most widely spoken language in China), although these languages are not mutually intelligible. Today, Cantonese has about 80 million native speakers.
