Does she teach cantonese? I'd like her name if possible.

[@sw2de3fr4gt]

It's unfortunate that China is trying to wipe out this part of their heritage. They are forcing schools to use Mandarin so less and less people are able to speak this language. Looking at cities like ShenZhen, most people don't even speak Cantonese anymore.

I never knew that Cantonese is harder to learn than Mandarin being a Cantonese speaker.
