ShefCE is a Cantonese English bilingual parallel speech corpus recorded by L2 English learners in Hong Kong. 31 undergraduate to postgraduate students in Hong Kong aged 20-30 were recruited and recorded a 25-hour speech corpus (12 hours in Cantonese and 13 hours in English). Details can be found in [1].

The corpus is available free of charge for academic research, teaching and non-commercial use. A data request form has to be signed and submitted to the University of Sheffield to use the data.
