It’s Official! You’re About To Leave Illiteracy Behind!

Okay, it’s official. This Saturday we’re kicking off a character-learning extravaganza like you’ve never seen; the first in a series of two hour workshops where you’ll learn everything you need to set you on the road to proficiency in reading and writing Chinese.

There are two main reasons (as well as a large number of sub-reasons) why you should learn at least to read at least 100 common characters.

1. You live in Hong Kong where the official language is written in Chinese characters and it’s weird not to be able to read a single word of the official language where you live – the place you may even call “your home.”

2. When so many people say “you’ll never learn it” and “it’s too difficult for you” – doesn’t that piss you off sufficiently to want to prove them wrong?

The sub-reasons are too numerous to mention here, but here are some of the many ways in which you’ll benefit:

You’ll never get cheated in the market again. “15 dollars for three oranges? But here it clearly says 10!”

You’ll find out what the place names and names of dishes really mean “Siu Mai means “Fried Sell,” Mong Kok (actually Wong Gok) means “prosperous corner”

It keeps Alzheimer’s at bay

You will enter into a new and fascinating world where just a walk around boring old Central becomes exciting

Your spoken Cantonese will improve no end

You will feel a new confidence

If you’re already learning characters, please tell me how you have benefited so far!

Right, so it’s 2pm this Saturday at Honolulu Coffee Shop (which is actually a Cha Chanteng) 33 Stanley street, Central.
Please sign up with your email address because I need to send you some course material. Maximum 12 people.
Price: 6 people: HK$300 each
7 people: 280 each
8 people and up: 250 each

Don’t forget notebook and pen. I’ll bring the dictionary. Here is Honolulu:
