Cantonese Tone Trainer

Learn Cantonese tones by hearing your own pitch

Cantonese has six tones, and the tone changes the word: si1 (poem), si2 (history), si3 (to try), si4 (time), si5 (city), si6 (matter). One syllable, six different words. Cantonese Tone Trainer listens through your microphone, draws your pitch curve over the target tone curve, and tells you exactly what to fix, one named hint at a time.

A home practice tool, not a teacher, therapist or safety device. Everything runs on your device: no video, audio or images are sent anywhere. Feedback is automatic and can be wrong. For real instruction, learn from a qualified Cantonese teacher or a native-speaker community, linked on the Resources page. Full disclaimer
