ATTENTION: October 11's class is canceled. Class will resume at Clarion on October 18. Thank you!

This class is purely aural. Students learn through movements, rhythmic repetition and call and respond. The aim for each class is to memorize a few words or phrases as a group and immediately interact with each other. Facilitator Clara Hsu will fine-tune each participant's pronounciation.

Short term goal is to feel comfortable making Cantonese sounds and lose the fear of speaking the dialect.

Clara Hsu is a poet and translator of Chinese poetry. She was born in Hong Kong and came to the United States for nearly 50 years. Clara is a piano and children's theater instructor and has been leading classes in Chinese poetry spoken in Cantonese since 2017.
