I talked about “learning Cantonese” a while ago, in my earlier blog post. There is probably another reason that led me to learn Cantonese and I am not going to disclose for now. But I promise it’s a good reason or motivation factor for me. Hint: this is along the lines of the point 2 I laid out in my earlier blog post 🙂
Back to the learning resources.
First, Duolingo, which I have used for about 180 days now. Duolingo itself is free but you can pay for advanced features. It’s a good way to get feet wet.
Recently I bought a course (mini-program, or 小程序）on WeChat, I learned a tiny bit of Pin’yin so far. I am attaching the screen shots below.
Then I came across this one 粵語網路課堂. This is a self paced online learning course created by 香港中文大學自學中心 the Chinese University at Hong Kong (website, Wikipedia). I haven’t started on this one yet: my expectation is the content here will be good, but in terms of delivery or interactions, the mini-program, or 小程序 above may work better for many people (a bit like Duolingo, mini-program will be more engaging).
Last but not least, this one from Qing’ting FM 📻 app, my old friend.
Note you don’t have to pay to become a member if you don’t need to go back and listen to old podcasts.
