Lingowa brings four Cantonese tools into one free app, with nothing locked behind in-app purchases.

• Course — a 24-chapter story that follows Ah Yan through a year in Hong Kong, from her housing estate and the MTR to the flower markets at Lunar New Year and a hotpot night in winter. Every chapter has a dialogue with sentence-by-sentence English, grammar notes, vocabulary and a quiz, in the written Cantonese Hong Kong actually uses.
• Stories — five classic bilingual tales told in Cantonese with jyutping, tap-to-translate and audio.
• Flashcards — spaced-repetition decks of everyday Cantonese words and grammar patterns.
• Dictionary — search in Chinese or English, with jyutping and audio.

A phrasebook of 119 everyday lines, grouped by where you would say them, sits beside guides to jyutping, the six tones, traditional characters and the sentence-final particles that carry so much of spoken Cantonese.
