Cantonese is a tonal language—pronunciation and context matter. CantoAI lets you practice real conversations while getting instant English translations, Jyutping for tones, and clear grammar explanations. You can speak or type in English or Cantonese and hear native‑like pronunciation for every phrase. Whether you’re a beginner, a heritage speaker who understands more than you speak, or a traveler preparing for Hong Kong, you’ll build confidence by practicing the situations you actually need—without judgment.

Yes! CantoAI is perfect for anyone learning Cantonese. Our AI adapts to your level and provides patient feedback. You can start with basic greetings and progress gradually. The platform supports both English and Cantonese input, so you can practice even if you're just starting out.

Choose from four AI modes: Cantonese Buddy for conversation practice, Grammar Guru for grammar explanations, Translator for quick translations, or Vocab Builder for vocabulary. Speak or type in English or Cantonese. Get Cantonese responses with English translations, Jyutping pronunciation, and voice playback.

Absolutely! You can hear native pronunciation of any Cantonese phrase with voice playback. The AI also provides Jyutping (romanization) to help you learn correct pronunciation. Click the audio button next to any Cantonese text to hear it spoken naturally.

Beta users will get exclusive discounts on future paid features.

No! While we display Cantonese characters in responses, we also provide Jyutping (romanization) and English translations. You can learn Cantonese pronunciation and conversation without needing to read Chinese characters first.
