Correction: The academic senate reversed their approval of the 16 unit+ Cantonese certificate so CCSF only has one Cantonese certificate. We will continue to fight for the restoration of the 2nd Cantonese certificate.
Hello, community💪🏽
🎤News coverage from Hear from Firefighters, first responders, doctors from Chinese Hospitals, and representatives from the community.
“We will be having two Cantonese classes certificates, the first in the US [at a college level] this is really exciting because it acknowledges that Cantonese is an important language and is something that is worth preserving” - Julia Quon.
In San Francisco, Cantonese is the most commonly spoken language in the Chinese population. According to the city’s 2021 Language Access Compliance Summary Report [PDF], there were 659,184 Limited English Proficient client interactions across all city departments, and of those, 287,474 (43.6 percent) were in Cantonese.
We will be sharing some flyers within the next few weeks about registering for classes. The registration process can be really annoying and frustrating so please enroll ASAP at ccsf.edu/register.
Dm for any questions. We can also help to the best of our ability.
