Basic Cantonese - Listening Test #1

Popup Cantonese

Today we want to take a break from our gauntlet of Cantonese podcasts and provide you with a quick way to test your progress and reinforce the Cantonese you've already learned. We're going to do this by giving you a quick listening test to measure your comprehension of spoken Cantonese, and your ability to pick up on the six tones in Cantonese.

The words and phrases covered in this test are drawn from our first four lessons on critical Cantonese, so they should be familiar to you. But can you remember the tones? Join us as we quickly review all six of the tones in Cantonese and then test you on whether you can pick them up by ear. We'll continue to do this in the future, so in addition to being a good learning exercise, this is a great way to measure your progress with Cantonese.
