Very neat! I've only studied Mandarin though, are you aware of a similar game for that ?
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 (and its minimalism and simplicity) and 2 (Original, not Resurrected).

#13There are references to things like "dungeons" and "encounters" and so on, but all that I see are a bunch of pages with lists of words/phrases in boxes.

#14I'm confused, is there supposed to be some kind of game on the site that isn't loading for me? There are references to things like "dungeons" and "encounters" and so on, but all that I see are a bunch of pages with lists of words/phrases in boxes.

I have been using Duolingo for a couple years to learn some Mandarin. Its resources are pretty good, if a bit dodgy here and there (some occasional weird pronunciations or translations). I'm really excited about a Cantonese resource though. I have a few Cantonese-speaking friends and I would love to learn some myself!

#19This is awesome, there aren't many good resources to learn Cantonese, especially compared to Mandarin
But just as many people speak cantonese as speak italian.

#20Heartwarming to see learning material for Cantonese. Does anyone have any good material for speaking? I've grown up watching Cantonese movies and have tones and pronunciation down ok, but I'm finding it hard to progress through private study with regards to reaching conversational levels of vocab/grammar.
Hop on OpenAI voice mode and start speaking. I do this for Mandarin and Spanish, it even speaks my native Afrikaans! Valuable and only $20 a month. Also, it's great because it can speak about anything, which I find refreshing rather than having domain specific resources.
