Cantone vs Cantonese Guru

Cantone helps you to put the tones in tonal languages. Cantone helps learners learn to perceive or speak tones in Cantonese or Mandarin - and reinforces this knowledge with vocabulary, tone sandhi, and other activities. We offer support for * traditional and simplified characters. * multiple transcription systems (Jyutping and Yale for Cantonese; Pinyin and bopomofo for Mandarin) * English, German, Mandarin, and Cantonese user interfaces. * light mode and dark mode You can learn tones and words incrementally and move on to more advanced topics when ready - or you can simply practice what you already know with tasks and ther fun activities. Perception activities tone your abilities to distinguish tones: * Hear sounds and guess the tones. * Match sounds to corresponding tone or word labels. Production activities help you to speak: * Personalize the system to you and your voice. * Listen to exemplars adjusted for your vocal range. * Listen to and match points in a tonal contour. * Follow tone contours at a slower speed with pitch feedback. * Plot attempts against canonical tone contours. Vocabulary activities reinforce your knowledge through words. * Learn words that differ in tone only (e.g. 買 vs. 賣). * Match words by tone, definition, character, and pronunciation. Tone Sandhi activities teach you about tone changes. * Learn tone change rules. * Listen to characters and predict the tones when the characters are put together. Other activities help hone your abilities: * Follow along with hilarious single syllable poems. * Listen to and internalize the "tone melody" * Learn common phrases. Enjoy! P.S.
