Basic Cantonese: A Grammar and Workbook
Twenty-eight short grammar units, each drilled with exercises and an answer key.
What it actually is
The same authors as the comprehensive grammar, rewritten for beginners: each unit explains one point in a couple of pages and then makes you use it, with answers in the back so self-study actually works, and an Intermediate Cantonese volume waiting when you finish. Everything is in jyutping with characters, which keeps the focus on speech. There is no audio and no conversation practice, so it is the grammar half of a plan that also needs listening and a speaking partner.
