Rainbow Sees Cantonese (RSC) has been teaching children from bilingual families (ages 3-10+) for about 5 years so we totally understand the difficulty of learning Cantonese. Learning to ‘Listen’ and ‘Speak’ is the priority before establishing the ability to ‘Read” and ‘Write’. Materials for learning Jyutping or speaking Cantonese are lacking in the market, or they are too advanced to non-native speaking children, eventually disinteresting them learning the language. I’m glad that I met Hambaanglaang (HBL), which added more diverse and fun content into RSC’s lessons for my students.

Rainbow Seeds Cantonese (RSC) 於英國教育雙語家庭小朋友(3至10歲+)將近五年，深深明白到學習廣東話所遇到的困難。必需先學習「聽」和「說」，才能有能力拓展「讀」與「寫」。市面上雖然有學習粵拼或訓練口語的書藉，但內容普遍沉悶及困難，大多為母語小朋友而設，當中的文字更是過於複雜，難以令小朋友輕鬆地學習，使他們對廣東話提不起興趣。有幸接觸到《冚唪唥》，讓我們於教學課程上更多元化，讓小朋友能更全面學習廣東話。

As the project unfolded, our pool of narrators by default are native Cantonese Speakers who had immersed themselves in the language since […]

現時坊間的廣東話教材，局限於為成年學生而設計的生活題材，給口語交際造成了局限和障礙。而少數族裔學童在學校接受的中文教學，只是着重訓練他們記認漢字和書面語的讀寫能力，卻缺乏廣東話口語表達能力的訓練，導致學生學了一段長時間的中文都未能開口說廣東話。有見及此，「冚唪唥粵文」推出一套分級故事書讀本，幫助不同程度的人士循序漸進地學習廣東話，使他們可以在課外時間，透過閱讀廣東話書寫的文字故事累積香港日常生活上慣用的口頭表達方法。
