About us

Cantonese Meet and Talk is a monthly conversation club facilitated by Cantonese in Auckland. This is a welcoming space for anyone who speaks, is learning, or is rediscovering Cantonese.

Cantonese is spoken far beyond Hong Kong. Our community brings together speakers from across the world, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, China, and beyond, as well as locally born speakers and second and third generation New Zealanders reconnecting with their heritage language. Whether you're a native speaker, a member of the diaspora, or still finding your footing with the language, you belong here.

For many in Auckland, opportunities to speak Cantonese in a natural, immersive environment are rare and this group exists to change that. Cantonese in Auckland creates a space where older speakers and newer speakers can come together, keep the language alive, and pass it on. For so many of us, Cantonese isn't just a language. It's a thread connecting us to family, culture, and identity.

Join us on the third Sunday of each month, 2–4pm at the Ellen Melville Centre for great conversation, fun games, and refreshments.

Cantonese Meet and Talk 係由Cantonese in Auckland主辦嘅每月一次聚會——歡迎所有識講、緊學或者重新拾返粵語嘅朋友。

粵語唔係只係香港人先識講。我哋嘅社群匯聚咗來自世界各地嘅粵語人——香港、越南、馬來西亞、新加坡、中國,同埋更多地方——仲有土生土長嘅本地人,以及第二代、第三代移民後裔,重新連結佢哋嘅母語。無論你係母語者、海外華人,定係仲喺學習階段,呢度都有你嘅位置。

對好多奧克蘭人嚟講,能夠喺一個自然、沉浸式環境入面講粵語嘅機會少之又少。我哋成立呢個聚會,就係想改變呢個局面。呢度係一個新舊兩代粵語人可以走埋一齊、令呢個語言繼續活落去、並將佢傳承落去嘅地方——因為對好多人嚟講,粵語唔單止係一種語言,更係連繫住我哋同家人、文化同身份認同嘅一條線。

歡迎每個月第三個星期日,下午2時至4時,嚟到Ellen Melville Centre,同我哋一齊傾偈、玩遊戲、享用小食。唔使拘束,用你鍾意嘅語言同我哋傾偈啦。
