Hopefully I've redeemed myself from my old video 5 years ago about 'pretending' to speak Cantonese... now I've been learning since Feb 2018 on my own using a combination of apps and trying it out with people I know! It's a fun language and definitely a great way to get into Chinese if you haven't already started :)

This is part of season two of my vlog channel, where I'll be making videos of all kinds of random things. If you want to see what I do normally, check out my main channel above.

★ PROGRAMS I USE TO LEARN CANTONESE ★
Nemo Cantonese (old app but great for flashcard work when you're on the bus or driving. I used this to learn 1000 common words and phrases): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cantone...

CantoneseClass101 (podcast-style app with real world dialogues, supplementary texts and materials included. Like a less serious Rosetta Stone, and this is the only one I've found where the speakers are legit. I used this to learn grammar and real-world usage): https://www.cantoneseclass101.com/
