Download Duolingo. I’m doing that with my son. Even the free version allows him to learn vocab n practise some strokes. This translates to his greater reading ability.

I managed to find P1 flashcards for my boy. So sometimes we just throw all the flashcards n start pairing words. Because he is already familiar with some words, as a result of playing Duolingo, he can recognise some Chinese characters. I’m using the flashcards to get him to form simple phrases.

Of course, being a kid, he sometimes throws the cards for fun. But this also shows how PLAY is an important part of learning for young minds.

I’m doing other things to help my son learn Chinese.

I just heard about duolingo (it appear frequenty in ads), but I never tried it. If I remember well, it was some "learn & earn" program on the app also (for some lessons you got some sats)

Unfortunately, no sats :(

But well, there are other ways to get sats

Duolingo is good for introducing a language , I am also learning Spanish trough duolingo & it's good , thier streak system always help me to continue my lessons lol.

Duolingo is fun. I got the family plan and a few of us were doing German, Spanish and Chinese however... We got more interested in the leaderboards than in becoming truly fluent. I think the next step would be to get tutors for conversation. Maybe next time we get into it!

I think the Duolingo lessons can be quite repetitive. But as they stand, they are perfect for my preschooler boy.

You are ambitious to tackle three languages at once!

I only did German but the family plan made it feel like a team effort. It's a great start!
