Chinese is one of the most widely spoken — used by more than a billion people — and fastest growing language in the world. It is quickly becoming the language of business so whether you decide to learn Chinese because of academic reasons or just to learn a new skill, there are lots of reasons why it is worth spending time on. The notion that it is a difficult language to learn is not entirely correct, especially because of technology, but learning it at an early age is surely be an advantage.

Because of this, lots of parents equip their children while they are young to give them a heads start and for higher chances of proficiency. Speaking of technology, there are a number of tools that you can use and are within your grasp once you decide to dive into linguistics. In learning Mandarin Chinese, my personal recommendation is Miao Mi!

An Ample Video Library of Learning

The Maio Mi classroom houses series of short videos teaching Mandarin phrases and words through animated flash cards and catchy songs. The app also houses more than 500 videos in both English and Mandarin. These are made up of a collection of popular animated series and award-winning TV shows aimed to educate while entertaining kids.

They have Eori who can introduce them to stories around the world; Rubi who can tag them along to explore animals and nature; the Fox Inventor who can bring them to his adventures along with his furry friends; the Peasant Goat which features the Green-Green Grassland and the clumsy wolves; and best of all, Boomchiki Boom whose dancing programs can help toddlers develop both physically and mentally through baby yoga, stretching and exercises.
