The third volume of Modern Cantonese aims to broaden learners’ Cantonese language skills by teaching students how to deal with, discuss, persuade, and summarize topics related to sophisticated work-related situations.

This book provides scenarios talking about abstract topics, as well as cultural and social issues in both formal and semi-formal settings. Learners gain the skills to discuss a variety of complex topics and abstract issues.

This book is designed for intermediate to advanced learners who have reached Intermediate Mid (ACTFL) or B1 (CEFR) proficiency. Language teachers, linguists, and researchers interested in Cantonese as a second Language may also find the book informative.
