The China Mainland Students’ Association (CMSA), which is under the University of Macau (UM) Students’ Union, has kicked off its third course in elementary Cantonese tailor-made for mainland students studying at UM. Ever since it was first launched in 2011, the course has been very popular. This year 103 students enrolled for the course, five times more than expected. The course will last for nearly two months, and CMSA hopes that after completing the course, participants, even those with zero prior knowledge of the dialect, will be able to handle simple daily conversations in Cantonese.
