How you learn Hong Kong Cantonese

CantoBoo mixes real HK videos with games and an Anki-style word bank — set familiarity yourself, review mistakes, and focus practice by level or topic.

Your words database

Every word you learn lands in one place. Tap to change familiarity (Shaky → Learning → Familiar → Mastered), watch your jar fill, and keep a lasting known-words base across lessons and games.

Targeted practice

Focus a session on certain familiarity levels, recent lessons, or topics — plus a mistakes review so hard words come back until they stick.

Word Alchemy

Featured craft game: fuse characters into new words, explore riddles, and grow a collection — playful vocabulary building.

Word Rain & Battle

Solo Word Rain drills meaning or Jyutping. Race a friend in Word Rain Battle for live multiplayer practice.

Cha Chaan Teng Boss

Take café orders in a Hong Kong cha chaan teng — milk tea, toast, noodles, and the modifiers locals actually say.

Videos + Jyutping

Watch short HK lessons with study cards. Toggle Jyutping and meanings anytime while you listen.
