โœฆ Synopsis

This "Grammar and Workbook" should be suitable for learners of Cantonese wishing to take their knowledge of the language beyond the elementary level. Its 28 units highlight the key building blocks of sentence structure and comprise a structured introduction to essential grammar points. Each unit also features exercises, focusing on the communicative language, devised to aid the student's knowledge of these grammar points. Its clear presentation and lack of jargon mean that it can be used in conjunction with a language course or for independent study. It should also prove valuable for revision and reference. Featuring an introduction to the language, key to exercises and a glossary of grammatical terms, the "Grammar and Workbook" should provide a firm foundation on which to build proficiency and confidence in speaking, reading and writing Cantonese.
