"The first volume of Modern Cantonese aims to provide solid linguistic training to beginner Cantonese learners, highlighting cultural points with lively language scenarios. This book provides daily conversational scenarios, such as introducing yourself and others, ordering food, going out with friends, shopping, planning a weekend, talking about hobbies and leisure activities, as well as talking about holidays and festivals. The scenarios cover daily settings with essential learning points, and on completion of the course, learners will be able to understand questions and statements in Cantonese conversations, and will be able to discuss familiar everyday topics using simple sentences in Cantonese. The book is ideal for students seeking to learn Cantonese as a second language at the novice level, based on ACTFL speaking proficiency guidelines. It may also be of interest to language teachers and linguists in the field of Cantonese as a second language. The second volume of Modern Cantonese aims to facilitate learners in understanding the main ideas expressed in conversations and discussions, as well as exchanging information. This book is structured around situational scenarios, which cover informal and semi-formal settings in daily activities and work-related situations. After completing this volume, learners will be able to understand conversations and discussions relating to a range of activities in Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen. This book is targeted at intermediate learners of Cantonese, whilst language teachers and linguists interested in Cantonese as a second language may also find it informative.
