Welcome to the home of the DIM SUM WARRIORS 点心侠!
Inspiring Confident Bilinguals
点心漫画顶呱呱,
学习语言笑哈哈!
Dim Sum Warriors 点心侠® helps kids improve BOTH Chinese and English through what interests and inspires them—a unique combination of bilingual comics, voice recognition technology, games, and cartooning.
“In short, I would say it’s peerless. It’s original. It’s really hard to compare. This is neither an app, nor an online class. It’s a great mix of the two. Of course, it is possible to just buy the books, or just use the app. However, the whole Club package, including the livestreams is what makes it so compelling. It’s incomparable to any app.”

Why not save money and impress your paramour by sprinkling some lurve-related Chinese idioms 成语 instead? Because that would totally work instead of overpriced flowers and chocolates.
