Learn Cantonese: 1000 Words
Essential Cantonese Words
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
1000 words cover 80% of everyday Cantonese. Hong Kong native pronunciation with Jyutping romanization — master Cantonese from day one with spaced repetition.
1000 words. That's all you need to understand 80% of everyday Cantonese.
Stop memorizing random vocabulary. Cantonese 1000 teaches you the exact words Cantonese speakers actually use — from ordering char siu rice at a Hong Kong cha chaan teng to having real conversations with locals in Guangzhou.
WHY IT WORKS:
■ SMART, NOT HARD
Our spaced repetition algorithm (SM-2) knows exactly when you're about to forget a word, and reminds you at the perfect moment. You study less, remember more.
■ HEAR REAL PRONUNCIATION
Every word and sentence is spoken aloud with native pronunciation and Jyutping romanization. Sleep mode lets you absorb Cantonese while you drift off — with lock screen controls.
■ QUIZ YOURSELF
Multiple choice, listening, and spelling tests that feel more like a game than homework. Track your accuracy, combos, and streaks.
■ WORD-BY-WORD BREAKDOWN
Example sentences are broken down word by word with translations — so you understand exactly how Cantonese sentences work, not just what they mean.
■ BUILT FOR YOUR SCHEDULE
Daily goals, XP tracking, streak rewards. 5 minutes a day is all it takes.
1000 words. 25 categories. From greetings to business.
Your Cantonese journey starts now.
