Cantonese is the primary spoken language of the Pearl River Delta area of Southeastern China and is an official language in the Hong Kong & Macau SARs. It is also widely spoken in overseas Chinese communities throughout the world with large communities in Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam. Cantonese has a rich heritage and learning the language will unlock a trove of culture ranging from classic films from Hong Kong cinema to the musical world of Cantopop to the beauty of Cantonese opera. CantoCards can be your first step into this exciting world.
Hack Your Memory with Spaced Repetition
CantoCards uses spaced repetition to help you solidify this new knowledge in your long term memory.
The key to learning new things is repetition over time. By increasing the time between studying a piece of knowledge each time you see it, it begins to make its way into your long term memory. This is spaced repetition. CantoCards manages your study schedule for you so you will be quizzed on the right material at the right time.
Cantonese Language Resources
Documentation is included in CantoCards that explains how to use the app as well as the fundamentals of how Cantonese is written. Over time we will also gather the best Cantonese resources from around the web so all the knowledge you will need will be in one place.
