About Cantonese Sheik
Cantonese Sheik is a website for learning Chinese characters, with a focus on Hong Kong Cantonese. It offers thousands of print-friendly reference sheets, tests, revision aids, and flashcards, along with CantoDict, a Chinese dictionary. Pronunciation is given in Cantonese (LSHK or jyutping), not Mandarin pinyin or Putonghua.
Since Chinese writing is the same in Mandarin and Cantonese, many of the sheets and flashcards can also help with Mandarin writing. CantoDict can run in either Cantonese or Mandarin mode. The homepage states that it was last updated on August 23, 2013, and notes that site updates have been slowed, though CantoDict is described as still active.
