With the newest invention of time machine, we are able to travel back in time and learn about the earliest Chinese Mythology. But what if we are not able to go back to the modern world yet, how do we survive in Ancient China? Using Project Based Learning (PBL) approach, learners will have fun practicing Cantonese Chinese in class. At the same time, they will use their imagination, creativity, and problem solving skills as they try to survive in Ancient China. **Please do not hesitate to message me if you are unsure if this is the right level for your learner. Learning Goals: To enhance oral, listening comprehension in Cantonese Chinese Best learning experience for: Learners who understand spoken Cantonese in daily conversation but need practice for oral conversation. Language: We will speak in Cantonese with some support in English (depends on average Cantonese level in the group) **** Every class, we will introduce an ancient Chinese Mythology story, and follow up with art, craft and discussion. Day 1: 盤[pun4] 古[gu2] Day 2: 女[neoi5] 禍[wo6] Day 3: 伏[fuk6] 羲[hei1] Day 4: 神[san4] 農[nung4] 氏[si6] Please note: 1/ This class focus in active engagement from learners and every learner will be called upon for opinions and input. It offers ample opportunities for learners to speak Cantonese in a fun way and my role is to facilitate the discussion, provide immediate feedback and support to their oral skills in Cantonese.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Becca.
I am a mom, a social worker, and a multi-award-winning author (of ‘The Story of Us’). I am passionate about supporting children in our proud heritage language, Cantonese.
Here, you can find my personal and educational background, as well as an overview of my fun classes.
My ultimate goal is to promote fun learning. I keep my classes very small so that full attention can be given to each learner.
I was born and grew up in Hong Kong. I am a native Cantonese speaker. I was lucky that my recent publication, a Cantonese-English-Jyutping Journal book has won in the Non-Fiction Young Adult category at the Independent Publisher Book (IPPY) Awards and in the Children’s Activity Books category at the National Indie Excellence Awards (NIEA).
I am a mother to my beautiful eight-year-old daughter, and we live in Canada. I know how challenging it is to encourage little ones to speak Cantonese, especially if Cantonese is the minority spoken language where you live. It adds an extra layer of complexity if you are not a native speaker or if only one parent speaks Cantonese.
Please do not hesitate to message me if there are any special learning needs. I hope you’ll join me on this fun learning adventure soon!
Thank you,
Becca
