A Cantonese-language conversation group to practice, listen, and connect. All levels welcome!
Do you know what Keanu Reeves, Michelle Yeoh, Bruce Lee, Jimmy O. Yang, Ming-Na Wen, and Ke Huy Quan have in common?
They all speak Cantonese.
Cantonese is one of the world’s major spoken languages and, alongside Toisanese (台山話), the language that helped build Chinatowns across America.
