Subjects
Nine Learning Sections, Taught Bilingually
Structured lessons that build real understanding, paced for young learners — every word and lesson pairs Chinese with English.
Writing — 785 Characters
A guided tracing board with real stroke-order data for 785 hanzi, showing the correct sequence and direction for every stroke. No other app in our family teaches handwriting this way.
Pinyin Sounds
23 initials (声母), 15 finals (韵母), and all 4 tones (声调), each taught separately with native audio — the way pinyin is actually taught.
Chinese Alphabet Set
A 26-letter set that bridges the Latin alphabet to pinyin spelling, so children can read pinyin before they can read characters.
Learn Words
95 words across 12 topics — animals, body parts, colors, family, feelings, fruits, manners, nature, numbers, occupations, vegetables, and vehicles — each with native Mandarin audio.
Sentences
40 sentences with build-the-sentence and meaning drills, feeding practice levels 6 through 8, so children move from words to short sentences.
General Knowledge — Including China
76 lessons across eight levels in three tracks: a China track (All About China, Cities & Landmarks, History & Heroes), a world track (planet and maps, continents and oceans, countries and capitals, landmarks), and Great Inventions.
Math
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division — four topics of six guided steps each, with bilingual instructions.
Science
45 lessons across five levels — weather and seasons, nature, the life cycle, food chains, and space — explained simply and built up level by level.
Computers & English
53 Computers lessons covering how computers work, online safety, and AI literacy — plus a dedicated English subject across four levels, so bilingual practice runs both ways.
Play & Practice
Learn Through Play
Creative and playful activities that reinforce every subject, built for kids to enjoy on their own.
123 tap-to-fill coloring pages plus dotted-guide tracing drawings — no mess, just a finger and a screen.
8 illustrated stories, perfect for a calm, screen-time-friendly wind-down.
A playful library of 34 everyday sound effects across 6 categories — animals, nature, vehicles, music, home, and people. Free in full.
A gentle matching game pairing 16 baby animals with their parents, for the youngest learners.
8 leveled practice games from Beginner to Author — levels 1 to 5 drill words, levels 6 to 8 move on to sentences.
Lessons and activities work without an internet connection — great for trips or screen-time-limited zones.
For Families
Built With Parents in Mind
Tools that help parents guide, support, and celebrate their child's progress.
Parent Dashboard
See daily streaks, a 7-day activity view, weekly play-time goals, and exactly which topics your child has completed — all behind a parent gate.
Two Child Profiles
Set up a separate profile for each child, so siblings each learn at their own pace with their own progress and streaks.
Bilingual by Design
Every subject pairs Chinese with English text and native Mandarin audio, so parents who don't speak Chinese can still follow and help.
Home Screen Widget & Reminders
An iOS home screen widget shows the current streak at a glance, and optional daily reminders help build a consistent habit.
Simplified Chinese Throughout
The app interface and all character content use Simplified Chinese — consistent everywhere, with no mixed forms to confuse a beginner.
No Ads, Ever
Not "ad-light" — zero ads, no third-party tracking, and no chat or social features of any kind.
