Kids Enjoy Learning Chinese More on this Mobile Application
About
Sing In Chinese is a language school founded by Lynn, a songwriter of over 100 original songs from Sing In Chinese and a Chinese language teacher. Lynn has been using a patent-pending method to teach the language for nine years, and she started her Sing In Chinese Language School in 2015. After rearranging the curriculum multiple times and starting a bilingual Mandarin Immersion Preschool in 2021, she wanted to take another step forward by creating a mobile application that serves as an effective and engaging platform for children to learn traditional or simplified Chinese.
