Series: Cantonese for Kids

My First Animals in Cantonese is unique in its focus on colloquial Cantonese, not formal written Chinese. This book introduces Cantonese language and culture to preschool children, and is ideal for families or caregivers who may not be fully fluent in spoken Cantonese or written Chinese.

This picture book uses conversational questions, phrases and words to take you on a journey to a farm, a zoo, a park and the oceanside. Each word is written in traditional Chinese characters and color-coded to the phonetic pronunciation and English translation.

Note: The official Jyutping pronunciation/phonetic is included. The second, alternate pronunciation is provided in US phonetic English

Reviews for My First Animals in Cantonese (Cantonese + Jyutping / English)

My kids enjoy the photographs. I love the structure of the book. It's got traditional Chinese, English, and phonetic sounding of the words, plus color-coded translations. It's a mini-adventure to the farm, zoo, ocean, etc, home. Again, this is a great resource for parents whose Cantonese isn't as proficient as English. They and their kids can learn Cantonese together.
