DailyNoodles provides fun, daily exposure to Mandarin Chinese for American families with young kids. We support language learning and Chinese language enrichment for families whose parents may not speak much or any Chinese at all.

This “DN Chinese” app is built around a simple, charming original DailyNoodles’ story “A Fishing Adventure”. It is designed to introduce or reinforce your child’s Mandarin Chinese through the friendship of a bunny and a bear as they set out to catch some fish.
