Literate Cantonese
Read the Cantonese you already speak. Hong Kong stories with Jyutping over every character, from the makers of Literate Chinese.
Jyutping on every character
Jyutping with tone numbers above each character, on by default. Turn it off when you are ready; the text never moves when you do.
Spoken and written, kept apart
Spoken Cantonese (口語) and standard written Chinese (書面語) on separate shelves. Tap a word to see its counterpart: 嘅 / 的, 係 / 是, 佢 / 他.
Hong Kong voices
Tap any word or sentence to hear it read in a natural Hong Kong Cantonese voice. Traditional characters throughout, the way Hong Kong writes.
Built for heritage speakers who grew up with Cantonese but never learned to read it, Mandarin learners adding Cantonese, and anyone living in or moving to Hong Kong. It runs on the same reading engine and spaced-repetition flashcards as Literate Chinese.
