Colloquial Cantonese

What it actually is

Yip and Matthews take you from nothing to basic conversation through graded dialogues, vocabulary and exercises, using jyutping alongside characters, and the accompanying audio is free to stream or download from Routledge's Colloquials site even though the book itself is paid. For learners who want a structured path on paper rather than a video playlist, this is the standard choice. The dialogues are functional rather than lively, and the book alone will not get you speaking without someone to practise with.
