Unlock the mystery of Cantonese
and speak it with flair!

You’ll probably agree that studying or working in Hong Kong without being able to speak Cantonese can be quite limiting. Here we are, telling you that CanTalk can help.

CanTalk is a Cantonese-learning App produced by the Cantonese teachers of the Center for Language Education, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, for the HKUST community. CanTalk enables students, staff, their family members and friends to get a taste of the local language and culture, helping you to settle into your work or study environment.

CanTalk helps you to acquire the practical vocabulary and expressions needed for daily interactions with Cantonese speakers on and off campus. It is for learners with little or no prior Cantonese knowledge who wish to use Cantonese to do things.
