How can BrookieKids help my child learn Chinese effectively?We employ 3 key methods to ensure effective language learning: Voice-interactive Stories: Our voice-interactive stories are designed to unfold according to what your child responds verbally. Throughout the story, prompts are strategically placed to encourage children to engage and respond. By actively participating, children develop their literacy and critical thinking skills as they comprehend the context and answer questions. Appropriately-Paced Animation: Our animations are thoughtfully crafted to support your child's understanding and mastery of concepts. Unlike fast-paced cartoons, our animations are paced appropriately, aiding comprehension and retention. Daily Practical Vocabulary: Our stories are set in familiar environments, such as homes, outdoor settings, or common games like "Hide and Seek." By incorporating culturally and contextually relevant vocabulary, we reinforce what children encounter in their everyday lives. This approach helps children connect language learning with their immediate surroundings, making it more practical and applicable.

Does my child/Do I need to be proficient in Mandarin to use BrookieKids?In general, we would recommend that your child or someone else in the household- parent/caregiver/grandparent/sibling to have a basic understanding of Mandarin. For our activity packs, stories are carefully designed to scaffold learning, beginning with simpler content and progressively incorporating more advanced language skills. We observe that children are able to play more independently after the first few tries.

How can I integrate BrookieKids into my daily routine?Integrating BrookieKids into your daily routine is easy and can greatly enhance your child's language learning experience. Here are a few suggestions: Set a consistent time: Designate a specific time each day or week for BrookieKids activities. It could be after school, before bedtime, or any other time that works best for your family. Create a Mandarin corner: Set up a dedicated space in your home where you can engage in BrookieKids activities. Fill it with books, toys, and resources related to Mandarin language and culture to create an immersive environment. Make it a family affair: Involve the whole family - siblings, daddy, mummy, etc.! This not only strengthens language skills but also creates a bonding experience. Remember, consistency is key. By integrating BrookieKids into your daily routine, you can make Mandarin learning a natural and enjoyable part of your child's life.

What sets BrookieKids apart from Chinese enrichment classes?Unlike traditional Chinese language enrichment programs that primarily focus on academic preparation, BrookieKids takes a different approach. We strive to cultivate intrinsic motivation for language learning and promote increased daily usage, particularly in Mother Tongue languages at home. Research conducted among Singaporean children has demonstrated that exposure to the language at home plays a crucial role in enhancing Mother Tongue language proficiency. In the early years of a child's development (2 to 6 years old), fostering a natural interest in language learning can have a profound impact on their overall learning and development. Our carefully curated vocabulary is practical and relevant to daily life, providing children with compelling reasons and motivation to use Mandarin.
