## What is Volcano Frog?

Volcano Frog — Mandarin Phonetics Learning

Help your child take their first steps into Mandarin Chinese through play. Volcano Frog teaches the four tones, real Chinese characters, and compound words using bright illustrations, friendly characters, and bite-sized games — no flashcards, no homework, no pressure.

SIX LEARNING PATHWAYS

• Tones (声调) — Master the four Mandarin tones through friendly character families like 妈 (mother) and 八 (eight)
• Characters (汉字) — Learn real, useful characters with native pronunciation
• Numbers (数字) — Count from one to ninety-nine in Mandarin
• Animals (动物) — Meet the cat, dog, dragon, and more
• Colours & Shapes (颜色形状) — Red, blue, green; circles, squares, hearts
• Compound Words (组词) — Combine known characters into real Chinese words: 火 (fire) + 山 (mountain) = 火山 (volcano)

FIVE GAME MODES

• Reveal & Learn — Tap blocks to hear pronunciation
• Compound Words — Build real words character-by-character
• Recall — Test memory of what you've learned
• Picture Match — Match characters to pictures
• Listen & Match — Hear the word, pick the character

BUILT FOR FAMILIES

• No ads. Ever. Your child plays without interruption.
• No tracking. We collect zero personal data. Game progress stays on your device.
• No in-app purchases. Free, in full.
• Plays offline. Great for travel and quiet time.
• Designed for ages 3–10, scaffolded from single characters up to multi-character words.

NATIVE MANDARIN PRONUNCIATION

Every character is pronounced by native Mandarin audio, helping your child build accurate pronunciation from the start — including the four tones that make Mandarin meaningful.

TRACK PROGRESS

A friendly trophy cabinet shows your child's growing collection of stars and progress across all six pathways. Built-in rewards keep kids motivated without locking content behind paywalls.

ABOUT

Volcano Frog is published by Formula 8 Consulting (Australia). We believe children deserve learning tools that are joyful, respectful, and safe — without ads, without tracking, and without anyone trying to upsell their parents.
