CantoDuck
OnNine Labs
CantoDuck is a playful Cantonese-learning app for children aged 3–5 who are growing up outside Hong Kong — and for the parents who want Cantonese to stay in the family. It is built around a Hong Kong street your child may never have walked down: taxis, dim sum, the tram. The words are everyday Hong Kong Cantonese, written in Traditional Chinese with Jyutping.
• Tap a picture card to hear the word — from taxis and trams to dim sum, over playful Hong Kong-inspired backdrops.
• Three-line learning — Chinese, Jyutping, and English on every card.
• A dedicated Hong Kong Cantonese voice on every word — not your device's generic speech engine. Bundled in the app, the same on every phone, and it plays offline.
• Record your own voice — a parent can replace any word's audio, so your child hears mum or dad rather than a stranger. (Recordings stay on the device and are never sent to our servers.)
• Echo mode — your child says the word out loud and gets warm, non-punitive encouragement.
• Reading and writing — trace each character stroke by stroke, and a parent can pick up to four characters (a name, for example) for extra practice.
• An arcade of ten games — matching, line-matching, character-building, whack-a-duck, feed-the-radical, quick-quiz, spot-the-duck's-mistake, pop-the-balloons, the dim sum cart and a ride on the MTR — replaying the words your child has just heard.
• Family Tree — many relatives, so your child knows who is 姑媽 and who is 姨媽 before the next video call home.
Premium is an auto-renewing annual subscription with a free trial. It unlocks every chapter, the pop-the-balloons and dim sum cart games, every MTR line beyond the Tsuen Wan Line, the extra cards in Our Words, and any new chapters we add while your subscription is active. Cancel any time in Google Play > Payments & subscriptions.
