Do you want your kid to learn Cantonese? Well, if you are living in Hong Kong, Cantonese is the language that you must be aware of. It’s one of the most expressive and fun languages. But the question is, how would you choose a language learning centre where you enrol your kid’s name? When it comes to choosing a language learning centre, start by asking the following questions to narrow down your options. So, keep scrolling down! Ask These Questions to Language Learning Centres What is the Class

Can I attend two language courses?
Technically yes, but you’re generally advised against doing two at the same time. Your tutor has to sign off on you doing a language course and probably won’t be keen on you doing two, especially in your first year, as each one is a time commitment and you obviously also need to be focusing on your actual degree. If you’re keen to do two languages, perhaps do one through the language centre and the other more casually through a language society or online for a year, and then switch the next year!
hey - about the language center courses - do u think it would be ok to take one if I've done a.s. (first year) Spanish and didn't complete the course in school? I'd like to consider studying it - I enjoyed a.s and just kind of had to drop it because it was my worst grade - do u think this is possible or is it better to start learning a language from scratch? or are there more casual (less high commitment) ways of doing it? - thanks xxx
Yes, you can definitely do a language if you’ve done part of AS. If you google the language you want to do and take a look at the language centre page for it, you can see what level would best suit you. Alternatively, you can go to one of the consultation sessions that anon has mentioned HERE and get some advice from the people at the language centre! Anon’s also mentioned some casual ways of keeping up a language!
Just to add another perspective to the language centre question - I did Advanced German in my first year at Cam and don't regret it at all, but I think it helps that my degree is a very independent one and I had full control over my schedule and wasn't doing many other extra currics. Most of the work that counts (e.g. essays) is done over the vac. The workload is considerable but definitely manageable. And they changed it recently so transcripts only show pass/fail - and it's VERY hard to fail!
(2/2 language centre question) But most importantly, there's no need to decide yet - the centre holds open consultations at the start of Michaelmas with the tutors where you can discuss the workload and they'll be frank with you as to whether or not it's a good idea. If you just want to keep up a language post A-Level or something, it's not necessarily the best (and definitely not the only) way to do so - check out the language societies which often hold free one-to-one speaking sessions! :)
Ooh this is fabulous, thank you so much!
