Terminology

Brief translations of common Cantonese terms.

Many of the terms used in the lessons are Cantonese. Of course beginners lessons include English translations and you will pick up the Cantonese as you go along. To get you started here are a few English terms with Cantonese translations (note that Romanization of Cantonese is notoriously difficult. We have included the internationally recognised Sidney Lau Romanization where possible).
