Description
Koala Chinese is a Cantonese and Traditional Chinese learning app. In 10 minutes a day, it helps children and beginner Chinese learners recognize common Chinese characters while building early reading, listening, and writing skills.
New in v1.6: 4-Word Daily Challenge
Daily Challenge now introduces four Chinese characters each day, mixing new learning with review. Each challenge includes character cards, example sentences, writing practice, picture matching, and a new Fill-in-the-Blank sentence stage that helps children put learned characters back into sentences. Together with the Sticker Book, 30-day progress calendar, and printable worksheets, it helps keep children motivated and supports offline practice.
App Features
• Built around Cantonese and Traditional Chinese
Each character and sample sentences includes Hong Kong Cantonese pronunciation, Mandarin pronunciation, English explanations, and Jyutping romanization. Learning audio can also switch to Mandarin for families who want Mandarin support.
• Spoken and written example sentences
When available, example cards show both everyday spoken Cantonese and formal written Chinese, helping children understand how Chinese is spoken at home and written in books.
• Character and vocabulary flashcards
Children learn through lively cartoon illustrations covering people, nature, numbers, food, everyday objects, and Hong Kong culture themes. The app includes 400+ essential Chinese characters and vocabulary words, with more being added.
• Stroke-order writing practice
Follow animated stroke-order guides and practise writing with a finger or Apple Pencil. Version 1.6 adds adjustable stroke-order speed, so younger learners can slow the demo down and follow along.
• Creative drawing game
Children can practise writing, colour, or draw freely. Drawings can be saved in the app and shared from the drawing gallery.
• Puzzle games
Hong Kong-themed and other picture puzzles help children build observation, patience, and problem-solving skills.
• Progress and parent tools
Track daily practice, XP, streaks, sticker collection, and learning progress. Parents can review progress and set play-time limits.
• Premium
Premium unlocks all categories and learning activities, including the full flashcard and vocabulary library, stroke-order practice, puzzle games, and multiple user profiles for siblings.
• Safe and privacy-friendly
No ads, no third-party analytics, and no tracking. Children can learn in a focused, child-friendly environment.
• Designed for iPhone and iPad
Available with Traditional Chinese and English interface options, plus Cantonese and Mandarin learning audio.
This App Is Ideal For
• Families looking for engaging learning tools to help preschool children recognize and write Chinese characters
