Trying to learn Cantonese Pronunciation?

Pronunciation is one of the most important things in language learning. It dramatically affects:

- how willing people are to talk to you

- your listening comprehension

- how well people understand you

- how well you can communicate

- ...really, it affects everything!

Cantonese pronunciation is famously challenging.

Between the tones, nasal vowels, diphthongs, checked syllables, and the rhythm of natural speech, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

Most learners never get enough targeted feedback, and end up reinforcing pronunciation mistakes instead of correcting them.

That’s why we created the Cantonese Pronunciation & Accent Masterclass — a short, powerful training designed to help you finally hear and produce Cantonese clearly and confidently.

Why this Masterclass works

Over the past several years, Outlier has taught thousands of students to improve their Mandarin pronunciation and reduce their foreign accent — using a science-based approach to motor learning.

Our approach develops muscle memory for correct pronunciation so that it comes out naturally and effortlessly.

Now we’re bringing those same evidence-based methods to Cantonese.

Inside the masterclass, you’ll learn:

  • The complete Cantonese sound system explained simply and intuitively

  • How to build a strong foundation in initials, finals, tones, and sentence-level intonation

  • Exactly how to practice so you actually improve instead of just repeating mistakes

  • Our proven drills for chorusing and shadowing, adapted specifically for Cantonese tone contour complexity

  • How to break fossilized habits and retrain pronunciation at the muscular level

Whether you’re a total beginner or already speaking Cantonese, this masterclass gives you the tools to start sounding more natural — fast.

And if you're going to learn Cantonese using our Get Speaking Cantonese courses, this Masterclass is your on-ramp to the Outlier method of learning Cantonese.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I access the course?

Mobile, desktop, laptop, tablet...the course is super user-friendly and you'll be able to log on from anywhere!

Do I need to know any Cantonese? What level is this for?

The masterclass is beginner-friendly and is also extremely helpful for higher-level learners who never received formal pronunciation training or are struggling with pronunciation.

If you're a beginner, you'll get started on the right foot and develop a good, clear accent from the beginning.

If you're further along but have pronunciation issues, this course will help you fix those issues. Through a combination of head knowledge, ear training, and muscle memory training, you'll have the tools to get rid of your current accent and replace it with a more native-like one.

Is this a full Cantonese course?

No. This is a dedicated pronunciation and accent course focused on phonology, tones, and speaking clarity.

You'll also get training on chorusing and shadowing—the two core techniques of the Outlier approach to learning languages.

Will this help me fix my tones?

Absolutely. You’ll finally understand the different tones, what the "entering tones" are, and contour differences—and you’ll learn drills to make them automatic, so you don't have to "think" about them anymore.

How long will I have access to the course?

Forever. Once you enroll, you get lifetime access to all materials, audio, subtitles, and recordings.

What exactly does "lifetime access" mean?

In practical terms, it means the course materials will be available online for as long as Outlier is in business. If we do ever go out of business or otherwise need to remove the course for any reason, we'll make the material available for you to download for a period of at least 6 months.
