Traditionally, Cantonese is a dialect of Chinese. Many Cantonese words are expressed in non-traditional written characters. This is the first language in the south-eastern part of China, such as Hong Kong, Macau, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan. Therefore, this app is helpful for Non-Cantonese Speakers to master the listening and speaking skills of this language for their daily social communication and their needs in school or the workplace.
