Family onboarding

Learning stops at the school door.

Parents want to support their child's language journey — but they lack the curriculum context, confidence, and tools to practice at home. Generic language apps make it worse.

"I don't speak Mandarin. How am I supposed to help?"

— Every immersion parent, everywhere

Little Shifu bridges the gap — without disrupting your classroom.

📚
Curriculum-Aligned
Families practice exactly what's being taught that week — in the right sequence, at the right time.
🎛️
Teacher-Controlled
Teachers manage content from a simple Google Doc they already use. No app training required.
🎯
Age-Specific
Activities adapt by grade level — large-format Together Mode cards for younger learners, quizzes for older students.
Parent Bridge
Audio pronunciation, pinyin guides, and Together Mode let any caregiver lead practice — regardless of their language background.

Everything your program needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

Designed for three audiences — families, teachers, and administrators — each with their own tailored experience.

🃏
Flashcards
Swipeable cards with Chinese characters, pinyin, English translations, and native-speaker audio on every word.
🧠
Quiz Mode
Spaced-repetition quizzes requiring 3 correct answers to "master" a word — building real, lasting retention.
🎮
Matching Game
Tap-to-match game pairing characters to meanings — game-like engagement without screen-time guilt.
🤝
Together Mode
Large-format cards designed for parent and child to sit side by side. No scoring, no pressure — just shared practice.
🔊
Audio Pronunciation
Tap-to-hear pronunciation at normal and slow speeds for every word, powered by native speech synthesis.

Songs & Videos
Curated classroom songs with lyrics and embedded videos so families can sing along at home together.
