"My First Everyday Words in Cantonese & English is designed to encourage conversational Cantonese, and is ideal for families or caregivers who may not be fully fluent in spoken Cantonese or written Chinese. This book introduces Cantonese language and culture to preschool children. It is unique in its focus on colloquial Cantonese, not formal written Chinese.

Starting with ""Good Morning!"", this picture book contains the conversational questions, phrases and words needed to talk through a day in the life of a toddler. A free audio recording is included.

Each phrase is written in traditional Chinese characters. Words are color-coded to Jyutping and an alternate phonetic pronunciation, along with the English translation.

A special section for dim sum, a Cantonese cuisine and tradition of small, bite-sized plates, is also included.

Reviews for My First Everyday Words in Cantonese & English (Cantonese + Jyutping / English)

"""Why do I love this Cantonese English book?""""It is very rare to have Cantonese romanization with Chinese characters and English translation. For parents who are not native Cantonese speakers, or not fluent in Cantonese, this is the perfect book for introducing Cantonese to their kids. I also love the sequence and order of the book. It simply talks about the day of a toddler/preschooler from waking up in the morning, choosing what clothes to wear, doing different daily activities, eating, playing with toys, and going to bed at night."" - Fortune Cookie Mom ""...The sentence format that is used is very effective for teaching. For those who are not advanced in Cantonese this is the best book I have ever seen. Lastly it is very easy to teach Cantonese to kids using this book even if you are not super fluent due to the multiple ways the words are presented. It even color codes the characters to the pronunciation and English translation!!!"" My First Everyday Words in Cantonese & English - 5-star review on Amazon ""This book was perfect! My family is a mixed culture home. My husband is Cantonese and I am white. This book is not only wonderful for our Daughter but its great for me too. I am currently learning Cantonese as well as trying to teach our 2 year old. This book is so perfect. The Dim Sum section is a great help (yes I pulled this book out to try to order some items in Cantonese). But its the whole book that great. Thank you so much for giving us something to help us learn and bring our family closer. My in-laws loved it! Well, they loved us speaking Cantonese.
