In the podcast, I mentioned taking on 10 students in Februrary to be part of my case study. If you want to see results in 6-7 months, please register a free account on Poetic Cantonese Academy. This may include politely torturing you to make recordings and before & after videos, in a friendly way ;)


You can preview Unit 1: Week 1 & 1.5; Unit 2: Week 3 for both Year 1A & 1B.

Once you register, I will reach out to you. Or please send me an email if you are interested to join the case study.

Hosted by Poetic Cantonese, the Speak Cantonese on Day 1. Be fluent in Year 7 | Learn Cantonese by space repetition | 學廣東話 podcast is built on a practical, long-term vision for language acquisition. The idea is straightforward: you start speaking useful phrases immediately, while a structured, seven-year journey guided by spaced repetition principles lays the foundation for genuine fluency. Each episode is a compact, ten-minute session designed to fit into a daily routine, systematically building vocabulary and grammar. The host, who also speaks Mandarin, Spanish, and Italian, brings a learner’s perspective to teaching, focusing on clear pronunciation and practical communication over rote memorization. This isn’t about quick tricks; it’s a commitment to gradual, deep learning where consistency trumps cramming. You’ll hear targeted lessons that build on themselves, revisiting core concepts at optimal intervals to move knowledge from short-term memory to long-term mastery. The tone is encouraging and focused, stripping away the overwhelm often associated with tackling a language like Cantonese. By engaging with this podcast, you’re not just listening to isolated lessons-you’re following a mapped curriculum that values patience and smart repetition, aiming for the confidence to use the language in real conversations from the very beginning all the way to advanced comprehension.
