Best books to learn Learn Cantonese, in order

Begin with a romanization system (Jyutping) and a course that drills the six tones from day one, build everyday vocabulary and grammar through a structured textbook, then add character reading and immersion with Hong Kong media. Tones first, or nothing else will land.
