| Description |
- I have a general grasp of Cantonese (not very good in speaking but can understand much more). I was born in Hong Kong and came to Canada as a young child - so I have some knowledge of Cantonese, but I haven't used it for many years.
- I need to learn Cantonese for career advancement. I need to be able to communicate effectively in business scenarios to deal with violin suppliers in Southern China - for example, with regards to import/export , sales, dollar figures, delivery. Therefore, I will need to develop a business vocabulary. Morever, I will also need specific terminology knowledge of the violin, parts of the violin and some music vocabulary.
- I am not concerned about writing, just speaking only.
- For lessons, I am looking at various options in terms of part-time, full-time, individual or group
- I prefer a teacher that is from Southern China (e.g. Guanzhou) rather than from Hong Kong (I think the accent is slightly different), is well versed in business terminologies , and know specific violin and some music terminologies .

BACKGROUND
Ca ntonese is the fifth language I learn, but the first Asian (and tone) language. I have a musical background so I can usually copy accents and intonation quite easily, but Cantonese definitely presents new challenges!
LEVEL
I have been taking classes in a community center since October 2004 (2h/week) and I also study on my own with both the Pimsleur audio program and the Yale University Speak Cantonese audio-book program. I am already comfortable with the concept of tones and I learned both the Yale and Jyutping romanization (and about 50-60 characters!). I know basic grammar structures but only have a very limited vocabulary to practice them! I would need a tutor to force me (!!) to use the limited knowledge I have and help me drill it, expand it and increase it little by little.
REASON
A s Foreign Service Officer, learning new languages is always an asset. With already a few very useful languages, I could allow myself the fantasy of choosing a more 'exotic' target! So the main reasons that brought me to chose Cantonese are: 1) curiosity for a totally different linguistic system; 2) my boyfriend speaks Cantonese and now I am too shy to talk to him in Cantonese, but I am really eager to learn more as soon as possible to be able to speak to him and his family in their language!
OBJECTIVE
Wit h other languages like Spanish and Serbo-Croatia n, I could reach a level qualified as native, when people could not guess it is only a learned language. I know Asian languages are different and probably harder, so I am not aiming at perfection in accents or intonation, but I would definitely like to reach a level where I can unconsciously build complexe patterns, with a very extensive vocabulary. I am ready to work hard to reach that level within the next 2 years, i.e. by the end of 2006.
TEAC HER
I am looking for a tutor for short but intense private lessons, either one hour if in person in Ottawa, or 30 minutes if over the phone. We can exchange relevant material and information by email previous to the class.

| Description |
I'm wanting to learn the Chinese language. Conversarion is a must learn and reading would be a bonus. I have not studied the language at all so I am a beginner. I have a job that I travel a lot with so about 2-4 hrs a week would be good. I would like to learn this language for an advancement in my disired career. What I'm looking for in a teacher is someone who will help me learn, i'll work hard to learn I just need the guidence.
