Shapes in Cantonese

Spoken by a native Cantonese voice, the same recording a child hears in the Kidster app.

All of these are free in Kidster.

Good to know

These recordings are in Cantonese. Shape names use the same characters as Mandarin, read the Cantonese way: 三角形 is saam1 gok3 jing4, 圓形 is jyun4 jing4. Traditional characters are written with more strokes, as in 邊 for “side”.

All of them, with spelling
