Overview

Summary
Students learn Chinese skills as they listen, speak, read, and write along their online adventure.
Description
Using a game-based learning technique, students learn Chinese on the Dinolingo platform while collecting rewards and improving their comprehension skills as they listen, speak, read, and write along their online adventure. Each Chinese language lesson is presented as a unit, and each unit includes age-appropriate and engaging Chinese learning activities, videos, games, songs, tests, printable worksheets, flashcards, and more.

Dinolingo’s self-learning method means students can learn Chinese at their own pace, anytime, anywhere. Children can study Chinese on desktop computers, tablets, and phones.
