If you'd like to manually remove words instead, just go to More->Settings (on iPad, Settings), then go into Flashcard Settings and turn off "Auto-remove missed words when marked right" -NEW: transliterations are now hidden for sample sentences when they're turned off in Word View Settings -NEW: you can now set the maximum flashcards per session to all available words instead of the max being 100 -FIXED: fixed an issue that would cause words of the day to be missing audio and images -lots of other various bugfixes and improvements

Not real Cantonese

This is Mandarin with the characters pronounced in a Cantonese way. It’s not real Cantonese. Disappointing

Reading Chinese Words in Cantonese

Not native Cantonese words. Good if you wish to say Chinese words in Cantonese.

App

The app is outstanding, I have learnt quite a bit. In the future, could you make an app that can teach you Chinese Mandarin, that would be great!

Love ti

Good approach to learning Cantonese from scratch

Not Native

sometimes sentences are made by simply changed pronounceation from Chinese only. But Cantonese never use several basic words of Chinese.
