Why Pebby

The word is right there.
Just not in Cantonese. Yet.

Every bilingual child has been there.
Reaching for a word and finding it only in English.
It's not that they don't want to speak Cantonese.
They just haven't had a place to connect the language to their own lives. Yet.

每個雙語孩子都曾經歷過這一刻。
想說 彩虹 ,脫口而出的是 Rainbow。 想說 肚餓 ,想到的卻是 Hungry
不是不想說廣東話。
只是還沒有一個地方,讓他們把生活裡的點點滴滴,和廣東話連在一起。
當語言和生活有了連結,它就會一點一滴地長出來。



That's where the journey begins.

Pebby Journal is that place.
Your child writes about their day. Pebby helps them find the Cantonese words for it.
Because the best words to learn are the ones they already want to use.

寫今天發生的事,Pebby 告訴你廣東話怎麼說。學到的字,是孩子本來就想說的字。

From a founding family
My daughter never finished her Chinese workbook. She's on a 23-day streak with Pebby — because the words are about her day, not a stranger's.

「我個女做唔晒以前嗰本中文簿,但係 Pebby 連續用咗 23 日——因為入面嘅字,係佢自己嘅故事。」

Our Story · 我們的故事

We Love Cantonese.We Love Our Children.

我們愛廣東話,也愛我們的孩子。

We believe Cantonese is worth keeping.

Not because it's useful.

Not because it's part of a curriculum.

But because we love it.

We love the stories it carries.

The memories it holds.

The way a familiar phrase can make us smile, feel at home, or remember where we come from.

我們相信,廣東話值得被留下來。

不是因為它有用。

不是因為它是課程的一部分。

而是因為我們喜歡它

喜歡它承載的故事。

喜歡它收藏的回憶。

喜歡一句熟悉的廣東話,能讓人會心微笑、感到親切,或想起自己的成長。

So we built one.

Pebby Journal

And when you love something,you naturally want to share itwith the people you love.

當係真心喜歡一樣東西,自然會想和喜歡的人分享。

Especially your children. But like many families, we couldn't find a place we truly loved where Cantonese felt alive in everyday life.

尤其是自己的孩子。但和很多家庭一樣,我們一直找不到一個真正喜歡的地方,讓廣東話能自然地存在於孩子的生活裡。

What We Believe

Language is more than vocabulary.

It carries memories, builds relationships, and helps us connect with the people around us.

That's why we believe language grows through use, not just study.

Children learn best when language is connected to something they already care about.

A favourite meal.

A family outing.

A funny moment with friends.

A small achievement worth remembering.

When language connects to real life, it becomes meaningful.

And when it becomes meaningful, it becomes their own.

語言從來不只是詞彙。

承載記憶連結彼此,也幫助我們理解自己來自哪裡。

因此我們相信,語言是在使用中成長,而不只是學習中累積。

當語言與孩子在意的事物產生連結時,學習往往最自然,也最深刻。

一次喜歡的晚餐。

一次家庭旅行。

一次和朋友大笑的時刻。

一件值得記錄的小成就。

當語言連結生活,它才會真正變得有意義。

而當它有了意義,它便會慢慢成為孩子自己的一部分。

Why Pebby Journal

Pebby Journal was created to help children connect language with everyday life.

Children write about their day, their thoughts, and their experiences.

Pebby helps them discover the Cantonese words that belong to those moments.

No endless vocabulary lists.

No pressure.

No trying to recreate the classroom at home.

Just a place where stories become language.

Because the most meaningful words to learn are often the words children already want to say.

Pebby Journal 的誕生,是希望幫助孩子把語言和生活連結起來。

孩子記錄自己的日常、想法和經歷。

Pebby 幫助他們找到屬於那些故事的廣東話。

沒有無止境的生字表。

沒有壓力。

也不是把課堂搬回家。

只是一個讓故事慢慢長成語言的地方。

因為最值得學習的詞語,往往正是孩子本來就想表達的詞語

FAQ

Things parents ask.

Kids 6–12 use the full journal — writing short entries and picking up Cantonese from them. Ages 3–6 use the read-and-listen mode: pictures and sound, no writing required.

Cantonese (廣東話) with jyutping. Whether your family speaks English, Mandarin, or French at home, Pebby fits in — the target is always Cantonese.

Yes. They write in whatever language they have — English, mixed code-switching, anything. Pebby surfaces Cantonese words from the meaning of their entry, not from their characters.

Five to ten minutes. A short entry, one or two new words, a wave to Pebby. That's the whole point.

Never. No ads, no third-party trackers, no data sales. Entries are private to the child's profile and used only to personalise their learning.

We simply want to share what we love
with the people we love.

我們愛廣東話。
也希望把這份喜歡,分享給下一代。
