Features: This book is divided into three main units. The first unit primarily covers Cantonese phonetics and some phrases and short sentences. The second unit focuses on Cantonese colloquial sentence patterns, unique verb usage, and small chapters on Cantonese spoken language. The third unit is composed of industry-specific vocabulary organized by different social sectors, including example sentences, idioms, and common expressions. The Cantonese phonetic system used in this book is largely similar to that of Mandarin, but for phonetic tones that cannot be expressed in Mandarin phonetics, the author has created a new system of phonetic annotation. The book progresses systematically, features vivid language, and is rich in content, making it suitable for language enthusiasts, especially beginners of Cantonese.
