Kat's family have recently moved to China and use Mandarama to help them learn Mandarin. Read their great review

Mandarama goes international

Since our launch only a few months ago, children in Australia, Europe and North America have become members. They love practising when they want to. Their parents love the way it reduces the overall cost of learning Mandarin Chinese by supplementing expensive face to face tuition.

NEW content list for teachers of Mandarin Chinese to children

Our new Secret Top Teacher functionality allows teachers of Mandarin Chinese to direct their students to a specfic piece of content to practise at home or school. Children can also find their favourite book or game.

Feedback from parents and children

We are listening to your comments on making Mandarama even better - Coming soon - a list of all the Chinese books, games, puzzles on the site for parents and educators of children learning Chinese and the functionality to find any particular piece of content on the list for classroom use especially. Need something else on Mandarama - just let us know. We are improving it all the time. Thanks for all your great feedback. It is great to know this is a service you have been waiting for.

What parents and children think of Mandarama - a review

“Thank you for your correspondence to me and for following up. Jesse enjoyed the trial and when I get home from work, we will try a one year subscription. It's truly wonderful and entertaining and makes learning fun. He still remembers vocabulary from his Mandarama trial”

Mother of Jesse aged 13,California, USA.

Mandarama - Peer Review

Our approach to children learning Chinese works. We advocate children learn face to face and combine that with regular affordable practice online within our playground just for children learning Mandarin Chinese (www.mandarama.com).

This approach was recently recognised by The Guardian journalist and ICT Language Education consultant John Bald who recommended Mandarama for practicing Mandarin. Read his review of 6 May 08 in The Guardian.

New E-Book - Adopted Chinese children.

We are looking at including an e book on adoption in Mandarama as many members are adopted. If you are the parent of an adopted Chinese child or an Adopted Chinese Children Association and have views on how such a book would work please mail us. We want to ensure the book meets your needs and preferences.

Mandarama - what next?

Mandarama is innovative and the management team intend for it to stay this way. In our development pipeline, we already have:

• functionality to enhance the navigation experience for different age groups.
• new games and books.
• with your help, many more school projects and contributions from children
