I have done some quick research on Geoexpat and the internet regarding a non-native Chinese speaker learning to read and write Chinese (traditional script) using Cantonese pronunciation.
Options:
Chinese University (CUHK): Chinese Characters and Chinese Reading Programmes: Five modules (Chinese Reading 1, 2, 3, Advanced Chinese Reading, Newspaper) Each module is a semester long and cost $4,200. I also qualify for the $10,000 Continuing Education Fund (CEF). (http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/clc/ssp_series_1.pdf)
Private Language Learning Center
Use of DVD, CD’s, various internet websites Chinese (Cantonese) Help sheets

I am planning on enrolling at Chinese University (deadline Fri, Aug 26 ).
Questions:
(1) Are there other university that offer courses for reading and writing Chinese (traditional script) using Cantonese pronunciation? A number of schools i.e. HKUST offer courses to achieve oral fluency in Cantonese but not reading/writing traditional script.
(2) Has anyone had any experience with the five specific modules at CUHK and would care to lend any insight/helpful tips?
Thanks!
