Learn Hanzi with Panda
Read full descriptionHide full description
Learn Hanzi with Panda is a bilingual Chinese-character adventure for children and families. Each day brings three connected activities: meet a new character, revisit one that needs practice, and use a familiar character in a new setting. Children trace strokes, listen and choose, repair a story, and build character parts. Learned characters stay on a personal island as rivers, trees, and new discoveries. The first release includes 20 foundational characters and an offline learning path. Children can revisit unlocked bilingual stories, while parents can review progress, manage learning settings, and control the account from the parent area. There is no open chat for children and no free-text prompting. Dynamic content uses approved themes and fixed learning rules. When network or content services are unavailable, the app returns to reviewed offline learning content. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
