The Problem

Learning stops at
the school door.

Parents want to support their child's language journey — but without curriculum context, confidence, or tools, home practice falls apart. Generic language apps make it worse.

"I don't speak Mandarin. How am I supposed to help my daughter with what she's learning?"

— Every immersion parent, everywhere

Three things have to be true
for home practice to actually stick.

One
一
It has to match this week's classroom.

Families practicing the wrong vocabulary — or last month's words — isn't reinforcement. Little Shifu syncs directly to your teacher's curriculum, week by week.

Curriculum-Aligned
Two
二
It has to work for the whole family.

Not every parent speaks Mandarin. Together Mode, native audio, and pinyin guides mean any caregiver — grandparent, babysitter, or non-speaking parent — can lead practice confidently.

Parent Bridge
Three
三
It has to respect the teacher.

Teachers already have enough on their plates. Little Shifu requires less than 2 minutes of weekly teacher time. No new tools to learn. No extra workflow to manage.

Teacher-Controlled
What Families See

A warm, phone-first app
that any caregiver can lead.

No app store download, no logins to remember, no Mandarin required. Families scan a QR code and start practicing — exactly what's being taught at school.

Hi, I'm Little Shifu — I'll guide your little one through each week's new words.

I realized my son needs more help than I thought he did. Together Mode actually showed me where the gaps are — I never would have known otherwise.
