Learn Cantonese with Jyutping

Learn Cantonese with Jyutping combines Cantonese flashcards, Jyutping and personal phrase cards in a spaced review routine. Practice traditional characters with English meanings, revisit cards when they are due and add the words or phrases you want to remember.

The interface and word meanings are in English. The learning content uses traditional Cantonese characters and Jyutping; translated store text does not add another teaching language.

READ THE WORD AND ITS PRONUNCIATION
Each authored card brings together the Cantonese text, Jyutping and an English meaning. Use the tone numbers as part of learning how a word is represented, then test your recall. The cards are a focused practice resource, not a complete dictionary, a general translator or a substitute for checking unfamiliar language in context.

RETURN TO WHAT IS DUE
Grade your recall as you study. A five-box review system schedules cards according to those responses and brings due material back into the queue. The next review depends on the grade you give, so answer honestly rather than trying to preserve a perfect-looking record. A card's review state describes your practice history; it is not a certification of speaking ability.

ADD YOUR OWN PHRASE CARDS
Use My Phrasebook to enter traditional characters, Jyutping and an English meaning, with an optional note. Your own cards join the normal review flow alongside the material you study. This makes room for a phrase from a lesson, a useful expression you have checked or vocabulary you personally want to revisit. You supply and verify the wording; the app does not translate or correct a new card for you.

HEAR CANTONESE WHEN A VOICE IS AVAILABLE
Pronunciation playback depends on a compatible Cantonese voice on your device. The app checks for a suitable voice and does not substitute Mandarin when one is unavailable. If your device cannot provide the required voice, use the written characters and Jyutping without audio. Availability and offline speech depend on the device and installed voice, so sound is not guaranteed on every phone.

A SMALL LIBRARY FOR REPEATED PRACTICE
Work through everyday words and practical expressions, including travel, dining and numbers. Choose the material relevant to your interests and return to it over time. The value is in a manageable review habit and your personal cards, not a claim to contain every expression you might need in Hong Kong or to deliver a complete language course.

SEE YOUR OWN REVIEW PROGRESS
Use due counts, mastery views, a daily goal and streak information to follow your practice. These views summarize study activity and card responses. They do not measure pronunciation, understand an open-ended conversation or predict fluency. Keep the goal practical and treat a missed day as information about your routine rather than a judgment about your ability to learn.

MAKE SPACE FOR DIFFICULT CARDS
Repeated misses can show where you need another explanation or more time with a word. The available stuck-card skip helps you move through a session after repeated misses without pretending that a skipped card is learned. Return to the material through the review system and check your own notes when you need context.

YOUR STUDY RECORD ON YOUR DEVICE
Core card and review records are local, and written study can continue offline. Voice playback has its own device requirements. Personal notes remain the text you enter. Local study does not imply that every app service works without a connection; purchase and update services have separate data handling described in the privacy policy.

FOR LEARNERS USING ENGLISH
Use the app to build a repeatable English-to-Cantonese study habit: read a card, recall its meaning, grade the attempt and revisit it later. Add carefully checked personal phrases when the built-in material does not cover what matters to you. This is a flashcard and review companion, not a Cantonese keyboard, automatic speech evaluator or live translation service.

Recent changes:
Clearer study feedback. After each answer the app now says what actually happens next — whether you will see it again sooner or later — instead of naming an internal scheduling step. Your progress shows as a mastery level rather than a box number: on the study screen, in the deck browser, and in your stats.
