Cantonese is more practical for daily living and working in Hong Kong, although Mandarin can be beneficial for broader communication across Mainland China.

• Choose Cantonese if:
  

  • You live and work primarily in Hong Kong

  • You interact mostly with locals daily

• Choose Mandarin if:
  

  • You regularly visit Mainland China

  • Your work involves frequent interactions outside Hong Kong

• You can live in Hong Kong speaking only English, especially in expat or tourist areas.

• But you may face higher prices or limited access outside these zones.

• In local neighborhoods, Cantonese is preferred and helps you connect with shopkeepers, restaurants, and markets.

• Mandarin can be useful too, especially in Kowloon or places hiring mainland Chinese staff.

• Many taxi drivers, market sellers, and canteen workers appreciate when you use even a few Cantonese or Mandarin phrases — it can lead to better service, smiles, or even friendlier prices. ✔

Learning Cantonese is not required, but it opens doors and helps you experience local life more fully.

Learning Cantonese usually takes 350–400 hours to reach intermediate fluency, but with the right tutor, like Cantonese Tutor Hong Kong, you can reach conversational (B1) level in just 60–80 hours.

📌 Most students reach B1 in under 80 hours—much faster than the standard 350+ hours.

📌 Revision & homework are key to long-term progress. Without practice, progress follows standard learning time.

Beginners can start with 1 lesson per week, but to make real progress, at least 2 lessons per week are recommended — otherwise, it’s mainly maintaining skills.

• 1 lesson/week: maintain current level

• 2+ lessons/week: steady improvement

• More practice = faster fluency

Take regular lessons, practice daily, and communicate clearly with your tutor — that’s the key to real progress.

• Minimum: 1–2 lessons per week

• Speak up about your goals and needs

• Follow tutor’s advice and feedback

• Do homework (or tell the tutor if you can’t)

• Practice outside lessons

• Be patient — progress takes steady effort
