INTEREST
+ INSPIRATION
That’s How We Help Kids Learn Chinese!
“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.”

Testimonials
What parents, educators, experts and kids are saying about Dim Sum Warriors
“Rebecca enjoys reading the comics and participating in the online drawing jam … This is an unconventional yet effective way of learning … The interesting thing is… she doesn’t think this is a Mandarin class even though she’s learning … She thinks it’s a game class.”
“The students and staff at our school absolutely adore The Little Dim Sum Warriors books. They tick so many boxes for books that are in high demand by students and staff. They are funny, they are bilingual, and they are comic style picture books. Fantastic illustrations, brilliant text and a must have for all libraries!”
“My son really loves the creative ideas he gets from Dim Sum Warriors draw along sessions, and he loves trying to read aloud in Chinese with the app – when he gets three hearts, he jumps for joy! It really inspires him and gets him to try again.”
