@qqtang0526 that sounds interesting, pls share !

@kariyasingapore you’re most welcome
I hope all our kids can gain more confidence and interest in Chinese!

New feature! I’m really excited about this one - the 听写simulator. You can now add your own spelling list to test your child!

@modernPtwoI As a primarily English-speaking family, the challenge has always been associating the characters with their meaning. My girl is thinking in English!
Traditional worksheets didn’t help much because everything is in Chinese. It’s like being thrown into American Ninja Warrior before you’ve even learnt to run

So my aim was really to get her past that first hurdle. With the English scaffold there, she can at least connect the character to its meaning, build some confidence, and then tackle the harder stuff.

I totally get the full-immersion argument, but let’s be real. Most of our kids aren’t learning Chinese because they want to master it. The intrinsic motivation just isn’t there. So if a little English support gets them over the wall and actually engaging, I’ll take that win.

Sorry for the long reply! But to actually answer your question, she’s not whining when I get her to practise anymore, which honestly is already a win She also loves the profile feature, customising her avatar and picking a cute nickname!

Hope it’s useful for your family too!

I got some really helpful responses from those who tried the web app, thank you!
Based on feedback I’ve:

• fixed the confetti animation
• fixed the quiz bug that appeared after the new feature rollout
• added more modes for game and quiz
• included phrases for game and quiz

Still completely free, no sign-up needed.
For those whose kids have tried it - would love to know which levels they’re using and what’s working or not. Helps me prioritise what to build next.

Hi KiasuParents,
I’m a parent of a primary school kid and got frustrated with the lack of free, fun Chinese resources that are actually aligned to the Singapore syllabus.
So I built one - chinese.getbuzzi.com (thank you AI!)
It’s completely free, covers P1–P6 vocabulary (我会认 and 我会写), with flashcards, quizzes and games. Built it for my own child first, sharing now in case other kids benefit too.
Not trying to sell anything - no premium tier, no sign-up required. Just hoping it helps someone else’s kid dread 听写 a little less
Would genuinely love feedback from parents and kids on what to improve.

can anyone explain why the answer is (4)? Thank you!

Conditions required for photosynthesis - presence of carbon dioxide, water and sunlight.

while A has no water vapour, it gets the water from the roots.
In B, the lack of carbon dioxide will prevent photosynthesis.
In C, the availability of carbon dioxide will allow photosynthesis
In D, oxygen helps respiration, but it also can photosynthesize as carbon dioxide is produced during respiration.

GBU:

Hui Ying hung two objects x and y on two identical springs. Which one of the following statements correctly explains why spring B is longer than spring A after the objects are hung on them?

(Object x is hung on spring A and object y is on spring B)

1) the mass of object y is more than that of object x.
2) spring A stretches less than spring B for the same amount of mass.
3) the elastic spring force acting on object y is less than that acting on object x.
4) the gravitational force acting on object x is less than that acting on object y.

Ans given is 1. Can the answer be 4? Tia

Answer cannot be 4, gravitational force experienced by all objects are the same. Their weight is affected by the mass.

Wow...it's very useful information. Thanks all


As for Comgateway, we can ask their quotation first? or we can calculate from their website?

yes there is a tool after you login to get an online quote for the item u wish to ship if you provide the URL.

You can purchase the quote guarantee. Sometimes the retailers send in a much bigger box then the actual goods which can affect the final cost of shipping

Pls help..

The avg age of Elvin's friends was 11 years old. Elvin was 7 years old. After Elvin joined the group, the avg age became 10 years old. How many children were there in the group after Elvin joined in?

Thks.

Since Elvin is only 7, he gained 3 years to get an avg of 10.
10-7 = 3
11-10 = 1
3 / 1 = 3
3 + 1 = 4
So total 4 children in the group.
