New! MyFlashcards are Smart Flashcards
Hello Listener,
Seen that iPhone 4S? It’s pretty smart and all.
But is it making you smarter?
Our new MyFlashcards are smarter now – but their goal is to make you smarter in too! If you’re a Premium Member, you know all about our spaced repetition system for learning lots and lots of vocabulary. However, we’ve recently made some BIG changes to the MyFlashcard system.
Quick Overview: The Good Stuff
In short MyFlashcards eliminates the “Where do I start?” “When should I study?” and “How much should I study?” by assigning you the words and dates.
MyFlashcards 2.3 Update makes learning more efficient by:
assigning you the words due today
marking your progress, overall and by word
stopping you when you’ve done enough

Suddenly, A New Feature Appears!
Click on it! It’s super effective!
As requested by users, we’re introducing Explore Curriculum, and it is indeed super effective! That’s because it answers two big questions users have:
1) What is this series about?
2) What will I learn?
Whether you want to preview, view, or review a season and the lessons inside, use Explore Curriculum.
How’s it super effective, you ask? It addresses a big issue in learning language: spending time on something you’ve already learned before. If you already know it, isn’t the time better spent on something you don’t know? You can’t skip what you already know in a classroom, but at CantoneseClass101, you can!
Explore Curriculum does just that. It provides a snapshot of seasons and their... Show more

We mean the necessary basics! If you learn just the Cantonese verb conjugation rules but can’t conjugate any verb immediately, on the spot, without looking it up?...
...You need to get back to basics!
Being great in Cantonese requires knowing your basics 100%.
