How familiar are you with Cantonese – the native tongue of locals, the integral part of Hong Kong’s tradition and culture? Join the upcoming activity of Urban Touch to explore with us the rich cultural history and colourful colloquialisms of Cantonese, as well as learning Canton slangs and idioms which are commonly used among local youth!
