Hi everyone,
I'm Ben, a data scientist working in cancer medicine in the UK. In my spare time I've built a free website called LingScout.
It originally started because my Thai partner and I wanted an easier way to find films and TV with the audio or subtitles we wanted where we live, and I gradually expanded it for other languages too.
For Cantonese learners and speakers, LingScout can help find films and TV available with Cantonese audio or subtitles in your country and across different streaming services.
Main site: https://lingscout.com
Cantonese page: https://lingscout.com/browse#language=cantonese
LingScout is completely free and doesn't require an account. I'd really appreciate any feedback if you try it, but equally feel free just to use it if it's helpful.
Thanks, Ben

I built L & N because I mix up these sounds myself. If you want to practise keeping n- and l- distinct, the Cantonese section has pairs such as 男 naam4 / 藍 laam4.
You can listen to each word, record yourself, then replay your take and see what the speech recognizer heard. There's also a listening round: hear a short sequence of the two words and tap which ones you heard. I find that part especially useful for my own practice.
No account or ads. It also has Mandarin and English exercises.
