## What is Learn Chinese?

From the award-winning creators of Studycat for Schools, comes Learn Chinese! The #1 way for kids to learn 中文 (mandarin)!

From preschool and beyond, Learn Chinese by Studycat inspires children's innate love of learning with interactive games and activities.

Our bite-sized lessons will keep your child motivated while they discover a new language and build bilingual skills for a lifetime!

WHY STUDYCAT?

• Learn Chinese, in Chinese. All our activities focus on virtual language immersion, which means your child won't be hearing any English, only Chinese! This might be confusing at first, but trust us, it's the best way to learn.

• Everyday Language. Our lessons teach words and expressions that kids can apply in their everyday lives, so they can get a head start developing their bilingual abilities.

• Get Talking Fast. With our interactive speaking challenges, kids will be encouraged to speak entire words and phrases on their own! The earlier kids start their language-learning journey, the more likely they are to reach proficiency quickly.

• Vocal Variety. Our characters' voices use different tones, expressions, and accents so that kids can pick up on the subtleties of pronunciation from different speakers.

• Designed by Experts. All our activities are designed by language and early-education experts. Thoughtfully developed lessons will build your child's confidence with every step.

• Learner Profiles (coming soon). Create up to four personalized profiles for different family members, allowing tailored learning paths and individual progress tracking.

• Safe for Kids & Ad-Free. Parents can rest easy knowing that there are no pesky ads to distract children from their learning. All content is appropriate for ages 3 and up.

• Offline Learning. On a plane, at a restaurant, or in a park? No problem! Learn Chinese by Studycat is available for both online and offline use.

### 5/5 — Great for Chinese

*2026-07-24, version 31.4.12*

This app is great for adult or child beginners in Chinese who aren’t ready to read yet

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-27, version 31.4.7*

Great app, we really enjoy it

### 1/5 — Trash app

*2026-06-04, version 31.4.6*

Too laggy and needs a lot of storage

### 1/5 — Trial bugs

*2026-04-13, version 31.4.5*

Could not exit the trial screen 🤷🏻

### 1/5 — I Hate the new version with its awful adventure mode. HATE IT.

*2025-12-10, version 30.8.6*

My kids have always loved learning Chinese on this app with the little sections of little games they could choose from and play. We bought the entire app back when you could do that with a single purchase. And then they turned it into this stupid subscription mode- which I mean I don’t even pay for Netflix - I’m not going to pay a monthly charge just so my kids can play a game. But we still had all the games we’d purchased from before at least; we just couldn’t access the new ones.  BUT NOW? This incomprehensible adventure mode is THE WORST thing I’ve ever seen in any kids app Ever. Let alone as a replacement for the games we used to love so much? NO. If you want to make a new app fine, but don’t COMPLETELY change the OLD ONE.BRING BACK THE OLD FORMAT.

### 1/5 — 簡體字，沒有繁體中文？
