## What is Learn Cantonese?

1000 words. That's all you need to understand 80% of everyday Cantonese.

Stop memorizing random vocabulary. Cantonese 1000 teaches you the exact words Cantonese speakers actually use — from ordering char siu rice at a Hong Kong cha chaan teng to having real conversations with locals in Guangzhou.

WHY IT WORKS:

■ SMART, NOT HARD
Our spaced repetition algorithm (SM-2) knows exactly when you're about to forget a word, and reminds you at the perfect moment. You study less, remember more.

■ HEAR REAL PRONUNCIATION
Every word and sentence is spoken aloud with native pronunciation and Jyutping romanization. Sleep mode lets you absorb Cantonese while you drift off — with lock screen controls.

■ QUIZ YOURSELF
Multiple choice, listening, and spelling tests that feel more like a game than homework. Track your accuracy, combos, and streaks.

■ WORD-BY-WORD BREAKDOWN
Example sentences are broken down word by word with translations — so you understand exactly how Cantonese sentences work, not just what they mean.

■ BUILT FOR YOUR SCHEDULE
Daily goals, XP tracking, streak rewards. 5 minutes a day is all it takes.

1000 words. 25 categories. From greetings to business.
Your Cantonese journey starts now.
