Learn Cantonese in 2016

No… that can’t be three years ago? But the calendar says it is. It’s just that it feels like a few weeks since we stood outside the railway station in Guiyang, capital of Guizhou province, singing – could it have been Love Me Do? on Christmas Eve. That same night we went to a restaurant with the musical equipment and sang until all the other customers were driven away, the management buggering off early, leaving us to finish our drinks and lock up.

It was so cold, but so great! Because it was an adventure where anything could happen.

When you live somewhere for a long time and go to work, then home; perhaps with some running and dragon boating to keep fit, life can seem to be settling in some kind of ennui. Comfortable and safe, but perhaps a little boring? Leading you to wonder: Is this all there is?

NO! Now you can change your life in Hong Kong completely without really trying, making every day an exciting, weird and slightly surreal adventure. All you have to do is learn about 200 words of Cantonese!

With only a few sentences you’ll discover a world you didn’t know existed. Every day will seem new and fresh, and people will treat you completely differently. Yes, there will be disappointments, setbacks and of course the inevitable portion of light violence, but believe me, it will be SO worth it!

Make 2016 the year you conquer Cantonese. You know you want to.
