Learn Cantonese Easily With Bubblegum
Bubblegum
For serious learners, Bubblegum is the best app to learn Cantonese. You learn from Cantonese you can mostly understand, which is called comprehensible input.
Poppy, your AI tutor, writes the lessons.
- Lessons are written in everyday spoken Cantonese, in traditional characters.
- Jyutping or Yale shows the reading above every word.
- Read and listen to news from Hong Kong and stories about things you like.
- Regenerative Review™ brings saved words back in new lessons, so you review them by reading. You can also export them to Anki.
- Clear, expressive AI voices read every lesson aloud, with a different voice for each speaker.
- It doesn't play shows, and a Cantonese comic or forum post can't become a lesson. Send Poppy a photo of a page, and she explains each line of it.
- A new custom lesson costs us real money to make, so your first one is free, and Bubblegum Pro gives you unlimited custom lessons. The lesson library is free for everyone, because we believe everyone should be able to learn.
