About the Author - Miu Wah Ng 伍妙華

I am a first generation ABC (American Born Chinese). Growing up in an immigrant family, we spoke Cantonese and were fully engrossed in Hong Kong culture. I spent every Saturday for 12 years going to Chinese school to learn to read and write (self willingly!). I would love to be able to pass the language down to my two children. Materials with Traditional Chinese followed with Cantonese as a spoken language is harder and harder to come by, hence the idea for “Let’s Go Canto!” is born.

我是美國出生的「竹升」。在一個新移民的家庭長大,我接觸到的都是廣東話和香港文化。學習時期，我是自願每周六花數小時上中文學校的。直持續了十二年！現在身為兩個小孩之母，我也希望能够傳承這個文化。可借的，繁體字和廣東話的學習課本小之又小。這也是「一起學廣東話!」誔生的初衷。
