You’ll never master Cantonese…
Dear Reader,
“You’ll Never Master a Language!”
That’s what my foreign language teacher, Mr. Barry, told me many years ago. “I’m sorry, you just don’t have an aptitude for languages” is what he added.
Well, he was wrong, and I knew it.
I went on to master Japanese, a much harder language than the one Mr. Barry taught, obtaining a master's degree from a top Japanese university and founding a Japanese company headquartered in Tokyo.
My name is Peter Galante, founder of Innovative Language Learning, and I’m here to tell you the story of how I proved them wrong.
So how did I go from language class failure, to founder of a language learning company with over 200 million language lessons delivered?
The secret lies in my... Show more

Can you speak better Cantonese in one day?
Hello Listener,
What’s one day of Cantonese learning?
Simple phrases? Takes 5 minutes. 30 new vocabulary words? At least 30 minutes. New grammar and creating your own sentences? Let’s say an hour.
And we’re still just 2 hours and 35 minutes into the day.
You won’t master Cantonese in one day but you’ll make big progress. One day is enough to start learning, start speaking, and improve your Cantonese.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, but streets and city blocks here.
So, if you tune into the fun, fast and easy lessons, you start speaking minutes into the lesson. Just one lesson. Imagine how much more you’ll learn in one day?
It only takes one day to speak better Cantonese.
