Before you start.

Read the illustrated vocabulary on the left, then find each word’s Jyutping spelling in the grid on the right. The direction symbols at the bottom show which way words can run. The first two beginner grids use words going across or down. The third, music-themed grid uses all eight directions, including diagonals and backwards words.

Make a little more of your practice

Say each word with its tone number, then cover the English meaning and see what you remember. Keep the vocabulary beside the grid while you search.
