Everything about Sidney Lau totally explained
Sidney Lau (
Traditional Chinese: 劉錫祥) wrote a series of textbooks in the
1970s, for teaching
western people to speak
Cantonese. The textbooks were initially used for teaching western expatriates working in the
Hong Kong Police Force and other
government bodies. Later the texts were used as a basis for a radio teaching programme for foreigners.
They introduced Lau's
own romanisation system which differs from the
Yale system by using superscripted numbers and symbols to indicate the word tones.
Despite their age, the books are still very popular being one of the few comprehensive books teaching spoken Cantonese (as opposed to
written Chinese and spoken
Standard Mandarin which is significantly different).
