@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!
