A Duolingo course that teaches spoken Cantonese to people who already speak Mandarin, focusing on pronunciation and everyday colloquial expressions. It offers little explanation, so learners are expected to supplement it with their own tone practice.
One commenter suggests it for anyone with basic Mandarin, saying it helps with pronunciation and vernacular Cantonese expressions, though it needs supplementing with tone drilling.

If you have basic Mandarin knowledge, you could try Duolingo's Cantonese course for Mandarin speakers. I think it is helpful to get familiar with how words are pronounced and what expressions people use in vernacular Cantonese so far. As with the Mandarin course, there is little explanation, you kind of have to complement it eg with some drilling for tones.
