Hello all, I'm happy to announce my new edition of The Cantonese Scrolls. There have been many foundation updates to this and now all of the encounters in all 30 quests (5 acts) have been completely re-written. You will also find my re

Hey all, I posted this a few years ago (2023) when I initially released it. Now that the Windows 10 EOL is almost here (Next month 10/14/25), I've decided to re-post to raise visibility again. My strategy has been working fla

I definitely read that as "gam3 do1". I never heard "doe1" for this character, there is always something more to learn ;).

I'm happy to hear that both can be used, normally I always have heard more of the "e" shift in a relatively consistent way. I normally say "大減價" for a big sale, but I understand your point was more about showing a d

Not necessarily, the way I see it you can just jump in and start learning and practicing. Now is there a correct way to write the strokes, technically yes there is (which fun fact, Chinese writing is designed for right handed people. My wif

Thank you for the corrections, I definitely agree that while I've learned a lot of Cantonese in the past 11 years, I still have a long way to go and loving the process. Given that Cantonese is my third language (I've studied a bun

Cantonese has no: - Standard - Country that speaks it (only Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macau, and the Overseas Diaspora speak it). - Learners of the language are primarily within the above territories and learn it through exposure, not through a

Hey @dbtc, I did think about doing this but originally decided to try and find another solution. Reason being that atm my current directory structure is nested (with a variable length of nesting), and I also wanted to be able to use the aud

Definitely. I'm not saying the word 申請 itself isn't used in normal speech, but more that the pronunciation of 請 in normal speech would sound more like an e. So I would rather teach people the normal way people would pronounce word

Good question. I have actually and was recently playing around with that. The problem isn't necessarily the recordings (since I've accepted that I'm willing to record all the possible Cantonese sounds for all the words myself

I'm aware of this and I've made a conscious decision to use the lazy pronunciation. I'm actually thinking of switching to lazy pronunciation as the standard pronunciation for a lot of words, the same as what some authors have

Thank you :). Definitely feel free to use, download and share 粵卷 for your learning. I'll be continuing to make improvements to it over time. This is a life long project of mine so expect more improvements as my Cantonese develops.

Thanks for the suggestion. Take a look at my other reply above, but The Cantonese Scrolls is a project that needs to be able to run offline, directly in your web browser, with no network calls. I allow everyone to download the entire projec

It won't die as long as we keep using it. Use it or lose it pretty much. I do think there are a lot of people that might want to learn Canto but since it doesn't have any official standardization and there being an active push by

Haha. As described in the title of the game, it's a Mental RPG. The game takes place in your mind. The site only gives you the environment for you to simulate in your mind. Think about Dungeons and Dragons "Theater of the Mind&quo

Thanks for that! Yup I'm well aware of the differences between literary and casual (and of course the differences between Standard Chinese and Written Cantonese). My goal for this project is to help preserve and teach the Cantonese lan

Not that I'm aware of. I believe I'm the first person to frame (and in a way "open source") a language program in this type of way. My perspective is a mixture of a lot of different things including my love for Diablo 1

Yup it was a combination of factors, but nothing legal related, Blizzard didn’t reach out. It was easier for me to maintain and provide a better experience by just hosting the main file archive itself on my server directly since all of the

Sometimes the name an author gives to a project doesn't need to be related to the thing itself, but can be a name inspired by other life factors. In this case I decided to call it Cactus.
