My name is Alan. I am a British citizen who was born in Hong Kong, so I am also a Permanent Resident there.

Although I was educated entirely in the UK, I have always been multilingual—I spoke Hakka and Cantonese (Chinese dialects) at home, and learned French, German, and English at school.

These days, I also speak Thai at an intermediate level, as my wife is a Thai diplomat and I am currently based in Bangkok.

If you’d like to learn some Cantonese for fun, I also speak Mandarin Chinese and would be happy to help! Try learning a few phrases, so that next time you’re in Hong Kong, you can order the best food, get the best bargains in the shops, and understand what Hong Kongers are yelling about all the time.

For Cantonese, I will make a list of key vocabulary for you for each lesson, based on the topics you wish to cover.

I will write the pronunciations in English, so you can practice by yourself and be ready for the next lesson.

Just let me know the topics you want to cover and I'll write out lesson plans for you. We can always add more, and we'll go at your pace—no pressure at all. Just have fun! Read less
