GUIDE: Learn These Cantonese Words & You WILL Become Fluent

If you want to speak more Cantonese, you’ll need to know more Cantonese words. It’s as simple as that.

But, with thousands and thousands of words within the language, you’re already thinking, “ that’s not so simple.” And you’re not wrong.

The good news?

You don’t have to learn ALL of the words in Cantonese.

The trick is…

you just have to focus on a special set of words. And if you know 100 of these special basic Cantonese words, you’ll understand over HALF of everyday Cantonese.

These special words are called… “core words.”

What are core words exactly?

And how can you learn these words FAST? Keep reading. You’ll also get a basic Cantonese words PDF eBook as a FREE gift below.

If you want to master the Cantonese language and become fluent, you must learn these words first.

And you need this ebook to learn them all.

This eBook is a MUST-HAVE for all Cantonese learning beginners!

Why You Learn Cantonese Faster with Core Words

What are core words?

Core words are a special set of common Cantonese words native speakers use daily. And no, not words like “telescope,” “zebra,” or “economics.”

If you know just 100 of these core words, you know 60% of the words that come up in daily conversations. Not bad, right?

If you know 300? That number goes up to 80%.

So imagine understanding 80% of everyday Cantonese. You’d be able to have basic conversations with Cantonese speakers. You’d be able to get around the country. And you’d be speaking much more Cantonese than you are now.

Core words are THE secret to learning Cantonese vocabulary faster.

Faster than if you were to try to learn ALL the words. Learning all the words would take years. Even native speakers don’t know and don’t need to know them all.
