我们来学中文！
Let’s learn Chinese.
A nine-year Mandarin path built for real classrooms and kitchen tables — songs, tones and pictures in Kindergarten, growing into characters, reading and real conversations by Grade 8. Simplified characters with pinyin on every word.

Tones from day one
The four tones get their own unit in Kindergarten, and every word on the site is colour-coded by tone from then on.
Characters, one stroke at a time
Pinyin carries the reading in K–1. Characters start as pictures, then strokes, then radicals — never as a memory dump.
The whole Chinese-speaking world
Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Chinese-American communities — not just one place.
Review & grow
Every grade spirals back through earlier characters and vocabulary, so nothing learned in September is gone by May.
One program, nine steps
Each grade builds on the one before it. Not sure where to start? Pick your child’s current grade — every level opens with a quick readiness check so it’s never too easy or too hard.

The full planHow it all fits together
Character counts, proficiency targets, assessment, and the nine-year pathway from first 你好 to high school ready.
You don’t need to speak Chinese to help
Every lesson includes plain-English directions, pinyin and an English pronunciation hint beside every word, an answer key, and a done-for-you weekly schedule. Homework is designed so a family that has never studied Mandarin can still support it with confidence.
