Imagine falling in love with someone, but not speaking the same language as their extended family. This is the case for Gabriel, the narrator of this textbook, who is an American boy learning Cantonese to impress his girlfriend’s mom.

In this book, you will join Gabriel in his first meeting with Jenny’s mother and the rest of her family, all of whom are from Hong Kong and can only speak Cantonese.

From having dim sum to describing his favorite pastimes, Gabriel will teach you everything you need to know to master basic conversational Cantonese.
