“我從香港來, 是講廣東話的, 從事會計工作。以前我們公司的客戶大多是講廣東話的,我可以用英文和廣東話和我的客戶討論問題和交談，沒有任何溝通上的問題。可是這些年來,我們的客戶逐漸有越來越多的來自中國大陸的移民，他們有的人英文不好,也不會說廣東話, 我的普通話發音很不標准, 經常有誤會，我覺得有時候和他們交談很有困難。我決定去進修我的普通話，我很高興選擇了多倫多標准中文學校的”標准普通話班”，這裏的老師不僅普通話發音很標准, 而且非常有耐心，每一個發音都要幫助我練很多次,直到我發准確爲止。我喜歡3-5 個人的小組學習，在課堂上我們有大量的機會說普通話，還可以及時得到老師的反饋。我每個星期五的晚上還去學校的 “漢語角”練習兩個小時的普通話。我覺得我的普通話說得比以前好了很多，我還要繼續練習，爭取說得更好。”
