What we’re about
你好! Nei Hou! If you are a native Cantonese speaker or just trying to learn and practice your Cantonese with other locals in the area, we are happy to have you join us.
Our goal is to make this group inclusive, diverse, and available to everyone, including non-native speakers. We are here to support and encourage each other through the language and culture of Cantonese. All levels and experiences are welcome.
Fun activities include food and drink events, discussion groups, hikes and walks, game nights, karaoke, physical sports, and more.

Our next Mahjong Open Play session!
Come join our community to learn and play the game at Collective Oregon Eateries (CORE), an indoor food hall with ample seating and gated parking.
We invite Mahjong enthusiasts of all skill levels to play, from complete beginners to experienced masters. While there are many variations of Mahjong, our sessions will primarily focus on the Hong Kong style. This is a casual play event with no formal instruction. However, a reference sheet is available at https://www.portlandcantoneseplayandlearn.com/mahjong.
We also recommend this helpful video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JGsb87PEIo.
Not interested in Mahjong? We would still love to have you join us! Our spacious venue provides plenty of table space, so feel free to bring along alternative board games or card games.
We encourage everyone to enjoy the social atmosphere, practice Cantonese, and explore the delicious offerings from local food cart vendors.
