About this app

ulingo is the perfect app to learn Mandarin and English phonics for kids and young learners. We use flashcards, mini games, videos with songs, and ability to practice pronunciation with your microphone until you get it right. Our app for learning Mandarin and English is FREE to use with NO ADS, making it the perfect choice to learn how to speak Chinese language & English for your children.

There are a lot of advantages for being bilingual. If you understand the language than you can understand their culture better. When you learn Mandarin, you can understand Chinese culture better and communicate with people from China, Taiwan, Macao, Hongkong, Singapore, and Chinese speakers in other countries. The perfect bilingual combination is if they can speak English Mandarin. English & Mandarin are two of the most useful languages because they are widely spoken in global community. At this level, there’s no need to force your kids to memorize the traditional Chinese writing (hanzi) or Chinese grammar. HSK test is still years away! It’s better to make them love the language and Chinese culture first and build their passion for learning Chinese.
