哈佛辦廣東話課程 網民：可笑又可悲
真想不到外國的正規大學會教廣東話。不過由「台灣學者」來主教，則頗為耐人尋味。當然，網民之所以説「可悲」，仍係指粵語要走出中國才受到重視的意思，與教授的身份無關。 【網民hot talk】哈佛辦廣東話課程 網民：可笑又可悲2014年08月04日［圖畧］哈佛大學在官方網頁上載有關進階廣東話口語課程的資料。(互聯網)［圖畧，左邊副圖標題為"Encounters I-- A Cognitive...

我認為，教廣東話不一定要廣東人，正如在香港教英語的大部份都不是英國人。語言教育是一門似易實難的專業，並非能說、能寫就代表能教。但美國有許多從香港過去的教育人材，均無人在正規大學開班。此乃我說「耐人尋味」的意思。我對劉教授的資格，實在毫無質疑。
