The rules are simple and similar to other memory games, and this is a great first step to start your Chineasy Journey, as it is fun and easy!

Chinese reading and writing is traditionally taught through a series of building blocks. Knowing these key characters (30 of which are presented in this game) allows you to construct many more characters and phrases.

For example, below we have the character for “person“, and 2 persons drawn together create the character “to follow”, and 3 persons drawn together build the character for “crowd“.

Your kids will have great fun matching each Chineasy Illustration with its Chinese character, and before you know it, they will have learnt to read 30 Chinese words like fire, mouth, sky, dog, tree, woman, sun…!

This memory game has a very convenient size, so you can take it with you to a restaurant or a park, providing many hours of fun and learning. It is a wonderful educational game for children of all ages.

Perhaps it might be that the language’s tone sounds to them like a song, or that the written characters look like pictures.

During these past years I have bought lots of materials: books, picture dictionaries, flashcards, CD’s and movies… but I have just recently discovered Chineasy, which is a genius idea and an inspiring company. Created by ShaoLan, her aim is extraordinary: “bring down the great wall of Chinese language and allow Eastern and Western cultures to communicate freely”. This new way to “read” Chinese is simply brilliant:
