Cantonese Language Class
Lingo is an official test centre
As an official test centre for MCYS and MFA officers, we take pride in ensuring the quality of our courses and assessments. With this expertise, we can deliver a comprehensive program that enables individuals to master the Cantonese language.
Small group classes
We limit group sizes to a maximum of 8 participants to ensure the quality of our Cantonese classes. When classes are small enough to facilitate individual student-teacher interaction, a minor miracle occurs: teachers teach, and students learn.
Centralised location
Our Cantonese language classes are conducted at United House, which is centrally located and accessible. It is just a 6-minute walk from Dhoby Ghaut or Somerset MRT station.
The only Cantonese class that focus on the intricacies of two distinct group of people
Non Chinese
We emphasize the nuances of the Cantonese language and the culture of Chinese speakers. We assume nothing and teach everything—focusing less on character recognition and more on explaining the fundamentals of the language.
Chinese
This group will primarily learn through listening and speaking. While participants can read and write, they may struggle with pronunciation in Cantonese. We will focus directly on teaching vocabulary and pronunciation. This fast-paced class is designed to give Chinese learners a quick introduction to Cantonese.

Five progressive levels
There are more people speaking Cantonese as a dialect
Persian, with an estimated 54 million speakers, is an official language in Afghanistan, Iran, and Tajikistan. Korean should have around 71 million native speakers, so if you include people speaking the Yuehai dialects in your calculations, Cantonese, a single variant of Chinese, has more speakers at 85.5 million

I'm looking for a beginner class for my son /daughter / child
Thank you for letting me know that you are looking for a course for your child. It is beneficial to start learning from a young age, and in fact, children tend to absorb knowledge more quickly than adults. For some languages, we offer specific teenager classes, and depending on the age of your child, they can also join an adult class. Please contact us so we can work out the best solution for your child.

Can I use a CEFR certificate to apply for a certain job?
CEFR is NOT an academic certificate. It is to benchmark your proficiency in a particular language. It definitely helps you to prove that you have a certain degree of proficiency and might or might not help you in your job application, depending on the company’s requirements.
Can I join a different class if I missed a lesson?
To maintain the original class size, we do not permit class switching for makeup classes.
If you miss a class, you have three options:
Option 1: Request the Zoom recording from our admin for a fee of $50 (before GST).
Option 2: Schedule a one-on-one make-up class with the Cantonese language trainer for $50 (before GST) for a one-hour session.
Option 3: Choose to engage in self-study. Please note that to ensure the quality of learning, you are only allowed to miss two classes to progress to the next term. A maximum of two make-up classes is permitted, and recordings do not count as attendance.
