Learn Cantonese (廣東話) the way it is actually spoken in Hong Kong and Guangzhou — with Jyutping romanisation on every entry, audio you can tap anywhere, and a library of real slang, stories and everyday dialogue. WHAT IS INSIDE • 12,000+ Cantonese words with Jyutping and English • 2,100+ individual characters, browsable and searchable • 3,100+ phrases grouped for practice • 1,400+ everyday sentences, sorted by situation • 680 essential words as flip flashcards • 200+ daily dialogues • 270+ mini stories and 20 longer articles JYUTPING, PROPERLY TAUGHT Cantonese pronunciation is the hard part, so it gets its own guide: the 19 initials, the finals, and the six tones — each with audio and practice. The Jyutping practice screen breaks any character into its initial, final and tone so you can see how a syllable is built rather than memorising it whole. REAL CANTONESE, NOT TEXTBOOK CANTONESE This is what separates it from a generic phrasebook: • Hong Kong slang, with the meaning and the register explained • Gen Z slang, for the Cantonese people under 25 actually use • Guangzhou expressions, for the mainland side of the language • Tongue twisters, reduplication patterns and children's songs • The Three Character Classic, for the classical side LISTEN AND SPEAK • Tap any word, sentence or story to hear it • Speaking practice with speech recognition, so you can check yourself • Adjustable speech rate and a choice of installed Cantonese voices Audio uses the Cantonese voice built into iOS. If you have not used it before, add it under Settings › Accessibility › Spoken Content › Voices › Chinese. DESIGNED FOR STUDY, NOT FOR STREAKS The whole library is stored on your device, so browsing and audio keep working on a plane or a train. There is no account and no sign-up — open the app and start. FREE, AND WHAT PREMIUM ADDS Everything is unlocked and ad-free for your first 14 days. After that the app stays free: every section is still open and the opening lessons of each one — 200 Hong Kong slang entries, 60 characters, 50 phrases, 60 daily sentences and more — remain free permanently, supported by ads. McCantonese Premium opens the complete library and removes every ad: • Premium Monthly — US$2.99 per month, with the first month free • Premium 6 Months — US$12.99 every 6 months Prices are shown in your own currency inside the app. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless auto-renew is switched off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours before that. Manage or cancel any time in Settings › your name › Subscriptions. Any unused part of a free period is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
