Additional Information

Recommended Tools & Resources

The following is my recommended list of Cantonese tools and resources. I'm not sponsored by any of these organizations, and have spent my own money for all of my material. If I ever do become sponsored in any way, I'll mention it.

Cantonese Textbooks

My Cantonese book collection consists mostly from books purchased at the Greenwood Press. They have an amazing, high quality Cantonese book collection, and they definitely deserve support.

Cantonese Dictionaries

I normally use a combination of Pleco w/ their paid Cantonese Dictionaries & Extensions, and Cantodict

Cantonese Keyboards (iOS & Android)

You can type Cantonese on your phone as follows:

iOS

1. Go to Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Keyboards.
2. Select Add New Keyboard.
3. Search for Cantonese, Traditional
4. Select Phonetic
5. Click Done.

Note: The iOS Cantonese Phonetic Keyboard is not Jyutping, but a close variation. Hopefully one day Apple will support the native Jyutping keyboard directly.

Android

1. Download Gboard.
2. Search for Cantonese in the Languages section and select 粵語.
3. Then select 粵語拼音, and unselect any other options (feel free to select what you do want though).
4. Make sure that for the 粵語拼音, that Jyutping is the chosen format under the Romanization scheme category.
