Customer Reviews

Disappointing1
Without phonetic help this book proved to be useless and far too complicated for a beginner to get their head around. I left it at home and didn't need it in the end as it transpired everyone I met in Hong Kong happily spoke English.
Don't waste your money.

Contains some wrong information4
I can speak and read some Cantonese (albeit not too fluently) and bought this to improve my ability. There are some typos which appear. However, there are many categories to look over, Cantonese-English and vice versa dictionaries and it's colourful too. The pronunciations can be quite hard to grasp so it might be useful to get a native to help you.
