McCantonese - Learn Cantonese

Learn Cantonese (廣東話) the way it is actually spoken in Hong Kong and Guangzhou — with Jyutping romanisation on every entry, audio you can tap anywhere, and a library of real slang, stories and everyday dialogue. WHAT IS INSIDE • 12,000+ Cantonese words with Jyutping and English • 2,100+ individual characters, browsable and searchable • 3,100+ phrases grouped for practice • 1,400+ everyday sentences, sorted by situation • 680 essential words as flip flashcards • 200+ daily dialogues • 270+ mini stories and 20 longer articles JYUTPING, PROPERLY TAUGHT Cantonese pronunciation is the hard part, so it gets its own guide: the 19 initials, the finals, and the six tones — each with audio and practice. The Jyutping practice screen breaks any character into its initial, final and tone so you can see how a syllable is built rather than memorising it whole. REAL CANTONESE, NOT TEXTBOOK CANTONESE This is what separates it from a generic phrasebook: • Hong Kong slang, with the meaning and the register explained • Gen Z slang, for the Cantonese people under 25 actually use • Guangzhou expressions, for the mainland side of the language • Tongue twisters, reduplication patterns and children's songs • The Three Character Classic, for the classical side LISTEN AND SPEAK • Tap any word, sentence or story to hear it • Speaking practice with speech recognition, so you can check yourself • Adjustable speech rate and a choice of installed Cantonese voices Audio uses the Cantonese voice built into iOS. If you have not used it before, add it under Settings › Accessibility › Spoken Content › Voices › Chinese. DESIGNED FOR STUDY, NOT FOR STREAKS The whole library is stored on your device, so browsing and audio keep working on a plane or a train. There is no account and no sign-up — open the app and start. FREE, AND WHAT PREMIUM ADDS Everything is unlocked and ad-free for your first 14 days.
