You a brilliant teacher Olivia, I love your lessons. I even learned to say 'thank you very much' to the waitress whilst I was waiting for food in the restaurant, she looked surprised, then smiled and said 'very good cantonese', it was my first ever attempt. 😊
I look forward to learning more from you Olivia, thank you for taking it slow and simple and making it easy to learn, you are great. 🙂
