Fingerpainting with purpose!

I had to start something like Michael Jackson sings, this is brilliant! Zen-like finger strokes really give a feel for the language and I’m a ‘tactile’ learner making it feel like home!

Pretty Good

I just started taking Chinese this year. We had our first test and I got a 32%😥. When I got this app, I was able to practice wriring Chinese characters wherever I go. We recently had another test and I got a 98%😊. I think this app helps beginners.

Pretty good app

This is a great app for kids to learn how to read, write, and speak Chinese. I like how there are points for you to earn, and use to unlock harder characters. The instructions are pretty clear, but when you learn how to write a character, the instructions can be done a bit slower. This is a great app, and I totally recommend getting it.
