Hey All...

I agree language might not be a problem in HK, but it definitely can improve my job prospects after I graduate out of HKUST... I'll be arriving in HK in the second week of August.

Though there is a language learning institute in the UST campus, is there some learning that I can do in the 2 months that I have before i reach HK?

two months is plenty of time. there are many free online resources that could be useful to get a bit of a head start because proper courses like the one you mentioned tend to whizz past the foundations and focus a lot on grammar.

try out some of these:

ecChinese:

good luck!
