It’s so hard to get my kids interested in Chinese!
You are most definitely not alone!
The problem is that for many kids learning Chinese as a second language, their first introduction to Chinese is a textbook aimed at covering either the Ministry of Education curriculum or HSK standards. The focus is almost entirely on vocabulary and grammar correction.
But… for most kids, this first introduction doesn’t make them so excited that they want to learn more. Why? Because this approach:
- bores kids with texts created around vocabulary lists, and not stories that kids can relate to;
- makes learning a chore because of the repetitive routine over and over again;
- doesn’t match kids’ cognitive level even though it matches their linguistic level;
- associates learning Chinese with lists and rules rather than Chinese as a language for playing, creating, and expressing;
- uses only Mandarin to learn Mandarin so that when there’s text that the kids don’t understand, the explanation might be even harder to understand!
What makes things even more challenging is that you might feel your own level of Chinese is not good enough (or even non-existent) to help your kids. Even choosing the right materials is a major challenge.
What actions can you take?
Let’s look at what the latest research in the fields of Applied Linguistics, Literacy Development and Curriculum Design tells us. The actions we should be taking include:
- Fostering positive “affect” or feelings with enjoyable, non-intimidating experiences with the language;
- Using texts that kids love and can relate to;
- Engaging multiple modalities of visuals, sounds, games, drawing;
- Connecting L2 to pre-existing L1 in our kids’ emerging bilingual brains ( a process called “Translanguaging”).
Too much to remember? Where do you start?
WE CAN HELP!
Super-cute dumplings to the rescue!
We’ve worked with thousands of kids to create relatable bilingual stories, comics and draw-along sessions so that kids experience Chinese with pleasure and creativity.
Families have told us that the Dim Sum Warriors Club has helped their kids become far less intimidated by Chinese, to the point that they are now using Chinese more everyday. One kid even told us that Chinese has become her favorite subject in school!
But something kept bugging us: what if parents are in a different time zone and can’t attend our workshops and draw-alongs? What if their children can only commit 15 minutes a day and not an hour a week?
And that was when it struck us.
What if we create an experience with Dim Sum Warriors resources that gives learners and families full control of their learning journey while having a price accessible to everyone?
Introducing Dim Sum Warriors Plus+: a plan that unlocks access to Dim Sum Warriors draw-along videos and comics, so families can enjoy them at their own convenience?
Dim Sum Warriors Plus+ is perfect for your family if you:
- want to create associations of pleasure and creativity with Chinese learning;
- have kids 6-11 who enjoy drawing and reading comics;
- want the flexibility of being able to plan a program that works for your family’s schedule in any time zone.
With Plus+, you can create your own learning schedule: daily, twice a week, thrice a week or weekly, based on what your child wants to do

“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.”
JACQUELINE
Mom of 7 yr-old Isaac
“My daughter looks forward to every single JAM session because she gets to learn how to draw things and what their names are called in Chinese. I believe kids learn best when they are enjoying it and it’s definitely the case with Dim Sum Warriors each week.”
CHING CHING
Mom of 9 yr-old Lorelle
“Joshua is so into 成语 time! What got him hooked was when Colin drew the snake – 画蛇添足. It is so cute to see him running around the living room shouting, “It is 成语 time!”
JOCELYN
Mom of 2 Boys, Jude and Joshua
“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.”
RAYMOND
Father of 6 yr-old Rebecca
