Speak Cantonese in seconds
This little book is your passport to speaking Cantonese.
You’ll discover that our phrase eBook occasionally goes where others fear to tread. Instant! Cantonese contains hundreds of practical, street-wise and down to earth phrases and words.
Everything from “No msg with my meal please” to “Hi honey, I’m home.” And “Follow that cab!” to “What a bunch of wankers.”
Unlike some other phrase books, Instant! Cantonese uses phonetics. We keep it simple.
Cantonese is a tonal language and tones are virtually impossible to explain in print. However, most Chinese people understand that foreigners are tone deaf. In our experience, if you seem to be at least making an effort to speak Cantonese, you gain Instant! respect.
Thanks for buying our book: we need to put conflict-free diamonds on our imaginary girlfriends’ fingers.
“For my sisters Helen and Myra, and my brother Paul” - Nick Theobald
Also dedicated to Mr and Mrs T. S. Loh.
May their perpetual light shine.
